nautical finds + guest post

Check out yesterday’s great thrifting finds!

Faux bamboo + braided wicker chair – $5.
Vintage brass + green glass desk lamp – $4.
Glasses with silver rim – 3 for $0.25/each.
Highland Brook whisky bottle – $0.50.
Original oil painting – $1.
I love that everything happened to be so nautical!  Think: the captain’s quarters on a ship! 
After some washing, everything was basically ready for use (or at least a photoshoot)!  And how could I resist using my new tree stump as a prop?
I’m going to make a new cushion and I’m *thinking* about painting the chair … maybe gold or silver … but my boyfriend says I should try staining it.  Thoughts?
till tomorrow,
Rebecca

P.S. I’m guest posting over at Love, Julie today about my dream outfit for this summer.  Julie is vacationing in Greece and Turkey for two weeks (jealous!) and, as amazingly organized as she is, she’s scheduled posts for every single day she’s gone!  Go check it out and let me me know what you think!

    What lovely pictures and such great finds! I love the chair, and I think staining it is a great idea. If it doesn't work, you could always resort to painting it.

  2. Becca says:

    I agree with the staining. Metallic colors would take away from its antique feel. Beautiful staging, Beccs.

  3. Beautiful set up!! Love the tree stump and that pillow!! That wicker chair is pretty great too!!

  4. I too love the pillow!

    What wonderful finds! I love when you can find things you like for that cheap!

    I just found you through your guest post on "Love, Julie"! It was great by the way, I'm a big fan of those shorts!

    I'm now following you! Yay!

    Definitely stain it, shrooms. Stain stays a lot better on wicker than paint does. Paint starts to flake pretty quickly.

  7. Gloria says:

    I vote for stain too! It's funny that all of your thrifting finds ended up matching so well

  8. Love this – found you through the guest post and am enjoying checking out your blog!
