Some of What I'll Have at Vintagepalooza

It came up fast but this Saturday, the 15th, is Vintagepalooza  and I wanted to tempt you with some of what I'll have for sale.

I'll have this fabulous garden table.  It could work inside or outside on your porch or patio.  Six can sit comfortably around it.  On top is a dough bowl with boxwood spheres and on the bottom shelf a small lazy susan.


My favorite furniture piece for this sale is this re-purposed file drawer section.  The raised panels suggested a Union Jack design to me.  I did a Union Jack variation in tones of black and gray.  I added some vintage iron legs from my stash to raise it up.  It could  be a side table or a buffet with file storage.

Front


I cascaded the pattern to the back as well as onto the front.

Back Side
I just had to share the before.

Before

For Mid Century Modern fans I'll have a brass bar cart, metal faux bamboo glass-topped table, side chair with chevron fabric, bar ware, a green demi-john with peacock feathers, and gold pheasant salt and pepper shakers.


I always love caned pieces.  I have the rails for this single bed which would make a perfect day bed.  The one-drawer night stand matches the bed.  The vintage metal wall sconce has been re-wired and has a plug.   No need to call the electrician.  The book ends are architectural fragments.  Scrolly ironwork can go inside or in the garden.


I always have to have some nature-inspired items for sale.  I filled a cloche with shells and placed it on a Pottery Barn pedestal.  The shell on a stand is faux.  The turtle shell and antlers are authentic.


I was so excited when I found these rubber stamps in their original box.
 There are 89 letters and symbols!!!!!


All things Frenchy next.  The Robin Hood flour sign is enamelware as is the canister set.  They're resting on a ledger book within a scale.



I'll have my shabby stools that got their face lifts.



This vintage vanity has curvy cabriole legs.  I recovered it in a creamy Belgium linen with braided trim and nail heads in the corners.  Check back later for tutorial.



Gotta love that leg.




I hope to see all you DC area readers on Saturday.

I've pulled together some more vintage finds to add to my stash for the upcoming sale--
this weekend-- at the 



I'll be selling this bistro set.  Perfect for the garden.  I found another bird cage and a swirly piece of ironwork.  I may turn this chippy carved frame into a chalkboard.  I'll have a selection of empty frames for sale too.




Lucky me, I found a swivel-seat stool and a heavy metal step stool.  I also will have these pop-out vintage cameras for sale and a cute little turquoise camera that has its original box and instruction manual.  Love the diamond shape in the window and the dental molding on the pediment.  I bought this walnut dresser drawer because I loved the blue inside.  I've been stacking books inside drawers and using them as small bookshelves.  The thick book with tabs is the largest unabridged dictionary I've ever seen.  The pages are marbleized too.



I love the color and pattern on this window.  I made some more chalkboards from vintage door panels, painted a mirror pink, a bamboo table citrine, a selection of architectural fragments and sewing machine drawers an assortment of colors, and another empty frame in a color I call Minty.  The vintage wire planter and the spring chair are a deep turquoise.  The floral quilt is vintage and would make a great table cover for a garden party.


Hope to see you at the Market.   Yea.  Can't wait.  Don't miss it.
My booth with be in the Main Entrance Field.  Please say hello.
