The table my vintage silver pieces are sitting on was a curbside find I painted, distressed, and still need to put a finish on.
That's right, I found it in the trash. Here's the before.
I'm also painting frames, and working on this small chandelier.
Here's the before on the chandie.
I'm not done with it yet.
The boxes my angel wing bottle is sitting on,
were an estate sale find. Vintage brass stencils.
Lots of them.
I love the graphics on these.
I picked up these weathered finds while hunting and gathering this weekend.
I love this vintage handmade little chest. Not sure how the previous owner used it.
I'm planning to turn these two industrial pieces into a desk. A weathered door on top, maybe.
This piece opens. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet.
There's so much more I have to get to. My abyss of a garage is starting to look crazy again. You have no idea how much I've managed to accumulate AFTER I did my Spring cleaning. Ugh. Back to work.

I have never been to an estate sale nor do I yardsale. I am definitely going to have to rethink stopping at a few. I love that handmade chest and I know you will do something amazing with it. Those industrial pieces will look fabulous with a weather door on top. Fabulous!!

Love that table from the trash and all the silver pieces, the frames, that chandy is so great! I love it all! You are so creative and talented and it shows in each transformation you do! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Leena

Everything in your post looks great--but those frames and little chandelier really catch my eye! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you, you found so many great things!! i am a wee bit jealous. I know you will do great things with them. Di@Cottage-wishes
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all those great finds, Rosemary! I love the frames. Those table legs look like they could be used to make something interesting. Great tote! I'm going back for one I passed up the other day that was about the same size.
ReplyDeleteGreat treasures! I love the chandelier.

Who throws a table like that in the garbage! Lucky for you that they did but you must have felt giving them a slap on the back of the head. lol ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds there Rosemary! I can't believe someone had that table out for trash, great makeover! Love all those vintage silver pieces too!
ReplyDeleteGosh, why can't I ever find good pieces of trash like that on curbs around here???? I saw something the other day that was a weight bench and some speakers. Boring! Love that round table you found and are redoing.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that table..the finish isjust perfection
ReplyDelete!
I go thrifting a lot and never see the great stuff you find. Even at garage sales or estate sales. Those brass stencils are a very unusual find.
ReplyDeleteYou find the most incredible things...good for you Rosemary....I cannot believe someone threw out that pretty table....and love those brass stencils!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME finds - especially the table from the trash - wow!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic finds! I really love that huge tool carrier!!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Rosemary, you have an amazing eye for finding treasures in the trash! LOL! Only you can take all of these items and turn them into something fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou got some good goodies there. I have no doubt you know just what to do with all of it too.
ReplyDeleteBliss
Hi Rosemary your vintage finds look much like mine :)
ReplyDeleteI too have a collection of silver and silver plate that I have been adding to from thrift finds and tag sales, also your vintage stencils, I have some that I inherited from my grandfathers paint box of paint tools, only mine were overly used and love way too much, the age tells its own stories.
Keep inspiring all your beauty.
Xoxo

Hi Rosemary, Those brass stencils are such a great find! I know you'll get plenty of use out of them. You have a good eye for finding treasures.
ReplyDeleteGood eye on the metal pieces that you'll make into a desk. It's going to be fabulous. It's all so fun. I commiserate with you on the junk piling up. I spent all day rearranging mine. Projects await. That's for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of yours!

What great finds Rosemary! I love that chandy!!
ReplyDeleteOh, such lovely treasures you now have. You have a natural talent for bringing out the best in found objects! xo's Pam
ReplyDeleteLove the brass stencils and my Joe has some of course. You scored on so many levels here. Love what you did with the chandelier. xo, olive
ReplyDeleteLots of cool finds. I can't believe anyone would put a Victorian table on a curbside left for trash. Oh well, lucky you!!!
ReplyDeleteYou find the best stuff Rosemary. I think you need your own reality show so we can all come on your picking trips! I love the chandy:)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna be so lost without Rhoda's (Southern Hospitality) thrifty Monday link party - where else can you find people who love thrifting as much as you do?
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and I love the table that you refinished. I think I'm most "green" over the vintage brass stencils. Have fun with them.
Beautiful finds, and how cool to have found that wonderful table for free!! I love the stencils and the chandelier as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Rosemary...wish my neighbors would put out a neat table like that. Thanks for sharing at my party.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
What great finds. I am just loving what you have done with those pieces. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Love that roadside table and silver!
ReplyDeleteYou found a Victorian Eastlake table in the trash??!! Seriously girlfriend if I didn't already love you I'd have to hate you! Lol! One of these days Rosemary I want to go shopping with you!*winks* I think you live in the best part of the country for "fabulous" And all those brass letters!!......*sighs* Vanna/your jealous friend
