This month's sale at Sweet Clover was totally inspired by the Mid Century Modern dresser that I painted with navy and white stripes. I wanted to share some of my nautical mania. Even though the space is staged in a barn, you can still steal my nature-inspired ideas for your own home.
I dry brushed a vintage woven dresser with some turquoise paint. (Dry brush tutorial coming in another post.) I used sea life-inspired accent wallpaper as a back drop for some empty frames.
A driftwood garland joins the two frames. The large oval metal tray is filled with star fish, a wooden spiral machine part that supports some faux star fish, and a vintage English pond boat. The boat was made in Birkenhead, England, near Liverpool.
Framed botanicals hang in a row on a weathered door.
Don't miss my blue bird cage in the upper left corner. I draped one of my scarves over it.
This pair of vintage Italian bentwood chairs were dark brown and missing their caned seats. Now they're perfect for a garden table with their high gloss white paint and new blue and white fabric.
I also dry brushed an old metal ceiling tile. It already had a mirror in the center when I bought it. I just added some old rope for some nautical flair.
Here's a full view of the striped dresser that inspired the whole space.
On top of the dresser are some signed framed vintage maps of Pawcatuck River and Mystic River.
I used a piece of fabric with lily pads as a back drop. A star fish on a pedestal, a large float, and a weathered wood frame, some faux shells, and a ceramic octopus complete the vignette.
More nautical decor---two framed boat lithographs. One of the boats has a Union Jack flag. A piece of faux coral on a stack of books is framed by a vintage frame I turned onto its side.
Here's another sea life vignette on this navy buffet/dresser.
This terrarium is filled with shells, faux coral on a pedestal, and starfish.
A coffee table book rests across the deconstructed stool and supports the terrarium.
I used some rope to join the wooden floats.
My favorite vintage find is this tray with a hand-painted floral design.
What made me love this tray even more is that it has a circle of arrows.
One last vintage find to share: Fabulous metal Chinoiserie garden chairs.
They wear their original chippiness.
If you're local, I hope to see you this weekend. I'm working Saturday.
Or, if you're one of my blog readers I hope I've inspired you to add some nature to your decor.
