Simple Little Changes...

Well, I survived my garage sale...so hot and humid, but we cleaned out a lot of stuff!  It has cooled down a good 20 degrees now 
and I am loving it!

Thanks to all of you who left your kind comments on my Collections post...I always love reading what you have to say!

A while back I shared our entryway redecorating project.  You might recall our coat rack/bench/shoe storage.  I found the bins at Walmart, but wanted to add a little something... 


Here is what I started with...


I picked up some vintage metal numbers when I was antiquing at Haupt Antiek Market, for a couple of dollars each...they have a curled rim that simply hangs right on the handle edge.



It's a VERY simple change that adds a little something special!  I think they still sell similar numbers in the hardware stores, but even flat numbers could be easily attached with glue or magnets.

Another little change I made was the addition of this fun street sign that I picked up that day, as well.  


I LOVE the color...especially with the globes...


Hope you are enjoying the waning days of summer where you live...I feel autumn approaching quickly!

I am joining~


Until next time...

  5. I was just looking at those bins at Walmart yesterday. I wanted them but couldn't figure out exactly what I was going to do with them (when did that ever stop me?). The labels take them up a notch!
