Now that the cutest nephew ever has seen his room (and christened it more than once), I can finally show you guys the big reveal!
So, what do you think?

The largest outdoor antiques show in the us, aka heaven only an hour away. On Friday, I played hooky from the 9to5 (and by played hooky, I really mean worked lots of extra hours earlier in the week so that I could take the day off without taking a vacation day) so I could join my parents treasure hunting for the day. I always go into Brimfield thinking about the car-full of all the amazing finds I'll be bringing home with me and I only end up with a few things in the end. There are so many amazing (and some not so amazing and/or really bizarre) things packed into such a dense space, it's hard to appreciate everything individually. Here are some images to help you imagine:
The treasures that I came home with were:
Vintage fan for $20.
Plastic Marquee "G" for $4
and my splurge at $45 was this cut-glass bowl
The bowl was one of the first things that caught my eye in the morning, but I didn't buy it then. After thinking about it all day, luckily it was still there when I went back.
Did you find any wonderful treasures over the weekend?
This week’s Pin:
Why?
An entryway is your first chance to impress your guests, why not make a statement?!
The space itself isn't overly large or grandiose on its own, however the designer used scale perfectly to maximize the space visually. The large console and oversized frame serve to make the entry feel much larger than it actually is. The pattern on the floor not only draws you into the space, but it's an optical illusion, again making the entry seem more spacious.
This entryway is a stellar example of filling a space to make it seem larger. Less isn't always more, interiors-wise.
In addition to all the entryway's amazingness, that drum light is also calling to me. It's telling me that it wants to be in my dining room. I think it's right, don't you?
