Hello Sweet Friends. Hope you all had a lovely Easter. We went to Michigan to the Lake House and it was fabulous weather and just a really nice weekend. Of course with traveling to the lake house I had to stop at a couple of my fave shops!
One is The Found Cottage. One of the owners is the famous
Liz Marie. Once in awhile she will bring in treasures she has had in her famous farmhouse to be sold. I scored big time.
Before I show you my treasure I scored. Remember the farmhouse table Terry fixed up for the new condo? We found some unpainted spindle back chairs that I think paired with my two slipcovered dining chairs is going to be fabulous.
 |
| I scored 4 of these spindle back chairs brand new and still in the boxes from Facebook MarketPlace. I got all four chairs for what one chair would have cost me to buy online. |
 |
| Terry put them together which was pretty easy. |
 |
| Then they all got a few coats of white cabinet paint for pretty and durability. They are now ready to be added to the nice farmhouse table and white slipcovered end chairs. |
 |
| Now for the piece that I scored for the new condo. You can see it above on Liz Marie's farmhouse porch. Yep that pretty corbel alter is going to be in my new condo and I cannot wait to show you how I am going to use it in the new place. Terry did fix the bottom of this piece with some new trim to give it a little more stability. It is chippy in all the right places. I am up to my eyeballs in bubble wrap and boxes. We will be closing on the new place at the end of the month. Not too much longer now. Have a great rest of the week. |

I can't wait to see what you do with your corbel. I would love to go shopping with you at some point....maybe once SB and Christopher move to A2! :D
ReplyDeleteYou will be moving in no time....how exciting! I can't wait to see your new "penthouse." ;P
I like how Terry painted the chairs for you and the alter is so cool looking. I can't wait to see how you set up your new place! Good luck with packing up the house again! You must be such an expert at this! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!! I have drooled over Liz Marie's fabulous house so many times. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually have one of the items featured in her home at one point. Lucky you! I know you'll put it to good use!! Xo
ReplyDeleteGlad you found that chippy piece for your new condo. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I have that same style of chairs. I found four of them, brand new, in a thrift store about 25 years ago. I painted them blue, put on a stain to warm them up and use them in my kitchen. I swapped out the table a few years ago but still love my blue chairs.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Kris!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are just about moved in! You have all the necessary things now to make your entertainment space for friends and family ready to go, just in time for hopefully a safe and healthy CELEBRATION! Oh you scored my friend. Your trips to Michigan MUST always include a visit to Liz Marie's shoppe! I cannot wait to see how you use this amazing altar. It's gorgeous!!

So much change happening for you. Exciting. Can be exhausting, too. Glad you took some away time. Enjoy the new found treasures.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that you had a great and relaxing Easter Kris! Those chairs will look perfect with your re-loved table and slip-cover chairs. Really love your new treasure and looking forward to hearing how you will use that. Good luck with the ongoing packing - time is certainly moving fast. Hugs, Gilly
ReplyDeleteThe chairs are perfect! Looking forward to seeing where that great chippy piece will go. Have a fabulous weekend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOoo, that piece is scrumptious! Can't wait to see what you use it for. The chairs were a good find! How nice to be able to start fresh. I have to admit I don't know how you do it! Our last move was exhausting and I don't want to move again for a very, very long time lol! I'm excited for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cecilia
Oh, Kris, anything with LizMarie's stamp on it would be a wonderful addition. That is a beauty and I can't wait to see it (in your kitchen?????) Love the chairs, it is all going to be so pretty..Stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteDo you own a lake house? Would you consider moving there? That would be wonderful to retire to.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Kris, that altar is a total score! What a fun addition that will be in your new place. I hear ya on the bubble wrap & boxes - our house goes on the market this Thursday, but we have already boxed up most of our belongings. We have sold and donated tons of stuff which has been a great feeling. We haven't moved in over 20 years and yikes, the stuff you acquire, lol! Best wishes on your move - looking forward to seeing your beautiful condo with all your touches in it. Jane
ReplyDeleteI would so love to find this! Wish that store was a bit closer to St. Joe:) Maybe post-Covid I can convince my husband to take a road trip there! Can't wait to see what you do with it! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteA great find! And another great upcycle! Well done.

ReplyDeleteCindy
I'm picturing you covered in bubble wrap, Kris. LOL The table and chairs are wonderful. I really like the combination of wood and white. And I like the style of the chairs. Your dining room will be stunning. Can't wait to see how you use the corbel alter. I know it will be fabulous. Hugs.
