antiquing in lucketts, va

my mother-in-law and i have been to the antique shops around leesburg and lucketts not once but twice in the last month! so much fun. here's what i found:

little vintage shelf

antique cocktail shaker

so true...

"canada owl"

triangular table - needs refinishing and then it will go in our new screen room!

urn shaped mirror

bird prints and reclaimed wood frames

perhaps best of all...this awesome rack for over our bar!

here it is in the shop, lookin' shabby

and here it is painted and on the wall

in addition to these awesome finds, i got some awesome ideas...
all the draping in the shops with burlap and canvas gave me this idea for a way to dress the window and unite the new cabinets around our bed in the master:

window dressing/canopy out of home depot dropcloths 

cozy nook

and a brilliant, glossy blue dresser i saw in one store necessitated that i paint something i own that color as soon as humanly possible. so our half bath got a makeover:

glossy french blue bathroom

cicada handles from house of antique hardware

next up: faux tin-tile wallpaper for the bathroom's ceiling.
