we've moved into our new little cottage.
the vintage sheets are bursting out of their cases (the thrifting search begins for more vintage cases).
with one less bedroom and short a sun room this house is certainly more cosy than our last. but i like it cosy and my thrifted vintage pieces look more at home here.
i'm busy displaying the collections. the milk glass has a new spot as does the Pyrex. i'm trying new little vignettes on nearly every flat surface: counter top, book shelf, timber ladder. bringing pieces that have been stored away out to be enjoyed.
i'm keen for new ideas.. i would love to see & hear about how you display collections throughout your home
coming up... milk glass display.
Wishing you joy, peace, and happiness in your new home. Looking forward to seeing your post about your milk glass display.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to your new home Zara. Don't forget to send me your address so that I can add to the stuff you need to find a home for. I know you'll have it looking gorgeous in no time x
ReplyDeletep.s. sre you working at a different hospital? Good luck with your new job too if you are...
Have fun finding places for everything! Unpacking is sort of the fun part of moving, until you get near the end.
ReplyDeleteYour new house looks lovely :-)

Oh my, all that blue china....I am collecting it at the moment, and finding it difficult....the Meakin, the Grindley and Johnson Bros, all go together, but I had to pay $5.00 for one plate the other day, its not going to be cheap as I thought..............yours looks lovely all stacked there...you have quite a collection...
ReplyDeleteOh Zara your new home looks so lovely. All of your treasures look very much at home too.
ReplyDeleteI've been bringing out a few of my old treasured white pieces lately. I am enjoying the calm they bring.

Hi Zara, Well, haven't you been busy this past week! I'm so impressed how quickly you've got so much china back where it belongs, and so many things already having their own space in your new home. I love that Johnson in the thistle design, you have a sizeable collection now!
ReplyDeleteI hope you've got some breathing space to settle in before you start your new job. x
Your collectables are looking so well settled already, pretty pastel plates. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy times ahead in your new home Zara. It's looking lovley. I adore the snippet of your milkglass in the top photograph. You have SO much now!
ReplyDeleteWe have the same Zaranne bunting hanging at the entrance of our house! It's a little wet and bedraggled this week but nonetheless still there.
ReplyDeleteYour ceilings and Johnson ware make me a little breathless!
The ceiling is awesome, Zara! I can definitely feel the vintage theme of your little cottage, especially with the vintage luggage piled up. I love it! I’ve seen this vintage bathroom mirror that has wall candleholders on the sides that looks perfect in the bathroom. It sounds a little creepy, but it does look great and would probably fit your new home. ;] -->Avril
ReplyDeleteI just love old homes, and I'm a little envious of the decorating fun that you are going to have! Pressed metal ceilings too. Hope you are settling in well to your new area Zara x
