Gearing Up.

I'm still here, if you can believe it!

I have been so swamped at the store lately its crazy- and I am entirely excited to say this weekend I will be partaking in the Fancy Flea in Lakeland, Florida. It was mentioned in Flea Market Style Magazine as being one of Florida's top two Flea Markets. Its held twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall- and this is my first time so I am excited and nervous and not really knowing what to expect of it all but mostly excited. 

Subsequently all of my attentions have been on the store and the show, so my house is a total wreck. Im pretty sure my neighbors think Im a compulsive buyer who gets terrible buyers remorse and returns everything, the way things go in and out here!

Regardless, all of this moving in and out has really made me focus on our living room which has never been all that great to begin with. In our old flat, our furniture fit really well. Since moving to our home (and larger living room) it made everything look sparse and dry.


So the other day I was surfing through Craigs List when I saw IT- and it was love at first sight.


Mr. Major and I are going out this Sunday to pick her up! And of course now that I have seen this piece all I can think about is all of the coordinating pieces I have to find now and how the rest of the room is going to flow.

On Tuesday I was in St.Pete when I stumbled across a small antique store so much like mine it was crazy! So I was browsing around and nearly passed out when I saw these amazing Vintage Letters! So on Sunday when we are picking up our new Coffee Table... I might sneak over and see if I can snag one or two for my living room wall!



Here are a few sites I'm taking inspiration from for our new living room. I am really loving the industrial decor thats really in style right now, but I want to lean more towards the industrial Farm side of things which seems a little more inviting and a little less cold then some of the stuff out there. 

















Are you in love yet? I know its not everyone style but this is certainly speakin' to me and Im lovin it!

I hope everything is well in your world!

  1. Much like my own style -- vintage/ antique / farmhouse w/ a bit of the NJ shore!
    My decor already includes much of what you have pictured above. Pleasing to the eye and functional. It will look great!

    Enjoy your time at the Fancy Flea. I am so jealous. Haven't been to a good show in a while. I LOVE the industrial cart coffee table you scored on Craigs List.

    You are too funny - a hoarder suffering from buyers remorse!

    Your Friend,

  2. I love your new coffee table and can't wait to see what you do with it. I put some of mom and dads stuff on a new blog. I just don't know what to do with it. What do you think?
