Let's get right to my favorites from last week's Mod Mix Monday!

 Revi of Revisionary Life shared Seven Reasons to LOVE Thrift Stores, 

Flea Markets & Garage Sales

 Suzanne of Simply Suzanne's had a sweet little tea party for her two little girls.

Mallori of Vintage Finds showed off her Spring Porch.

 

It's full of vintage and vintage inspired items.

 Victoria of Trois Petites Filles redid her little girls' room using flea market finds, 

vintage treasures and decorative accessories.

 Christine of Little Brags showed off her new Adirondack chairs.

Notice her pretty landscape beds.

 DD of DD's Cottage bought a bargain madonna figurine 

and painted it with chalk paint to give aged patina. 

Share your Mod Mix's in this week's party below.

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.

New and old together...

Open House Sunday

Atlanta Old Money

 This mansion in Atlanta was built in 1925.

 It had me at it's blue doors and windows.

 A sun room creates a morning breakfast spot.

This home appears to be staged although not with the typical staging type furniture. 

 Perhaps the owner left behind enough of their belongings to give the house a lived in look.

 I love this dining room layout with the big french doors out to a terrace.

Love those bamboo dining chairs too.

 The breakfast nook off the kitchen.

Plenty of room for an island in  this vintage kitchen. 

 A bamboo table provides work surface for now.

 back covered outdoor patio 

with it's lovely hexagon tiles 

I wish I had a back courtyard. The perfect spot or an evening al fresco dinner.

 Again, this house is staged but it has great bones.

Oh my a row of french doors to the second floor balcony! 

 Perfect vintage bath. Notice the ornate mirror over the sink. 

Just the right touch.

 I am not a fan of the school bus yellow walls. 

A paler yellow would have been much better.

 Oh...I like these wee beds...they are just right.

 lovely brick patio out back

Today I'm going over to my friend Judy's house to see what she's been up to in her garden.

I'll take pics!

Flea Market Outdoors

The Eclectic Vintage Garden Space

 Have you seen this new magazine?

It's full of delightful ideas for outdoor spaces all using flea market finds.

 A brightly accessorized dining space under ivy covered rafters.

 brightly painted furniture

I love this rusted bed nestled in the garden complete with candelabra. 

 more pastel brights on the front porch

 greens bring the outdoors into this covered area

I want one of those beds

 More brights. Just a throw and a pillow spark up this corner.

 Oh these climbing roses on a rusted iron gazebo! So in love with this.

A simple potting bench mounted to the outside wall. 

clever

There are lots more ideas in this issue. 

I've found it very inspiring!

and at work....

I just discovered we have this potting bench available.

Nice...isn't it?

And you know how obsessed I am about potting benches.

It's perfect but it's pricey!

Thanks to everyone that encouraged me about my Mod Mix Monday Party.

I'm going to do my best to keep it going.

I know it's a small party but I really enjoy it and these days it's the only way

I can get to see what others are doing.
