A New Face on Our Wall

July 22, 2013 by Amber Filed Under: art, living room, this piece has history Leave a Comment

Recently, I went to an antique fest with my mom that we visit every summer. Vendors come from all over and stay for the weekend, bringing their unique and special treasures for us to hunt and find. I didn’t leave empty handed this year. In fact, there’s now a new member of the family on our living room wall.

Our Newest Addition…

I love the history that it brings to the room, with its stature and military background. My husband was in the army several years ago, so it also brings a meaningful quality to the space. My mom thought it would look great beside our secretary desk, which has its own special history. The decision was made, once we tried it on that wall. And here he is…

The colors on his jacket, the frame finish and even his blushed cheeks work so well with the color palette in this room. The real shocker was the price! I almost didn’t even ask, because I thought it was going to be out of my budget and too good to be true. When they told me it was $10, I couldn’t believe it! What a deal! I’m all for trying to get the best deal, but I didn’t even think I needed to negotiate this price down. And I love that I was able to hang it right up, without changing a thing. I will have to keep an eye on it, though… my mom wanted to take it off our walls when I wasn’t looking. 🙂

Have you found any unique, ‘had to have’ pieces lately??

I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades, no matter which way you walk into the room. The glow is so pretty at night and it transformed that original to the home chandelier! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #bhghome #hgtv #myballardstyle #yespb #sharemygrandin #diningroom #livingroom

The chandelier looks so much bigger for this space. The second image shows the before, so you can also compare! Sometimes, you don’t have to replace the whole light fixture. One new, small idea can make all the difference. Thanks so much @frontgate #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #hgtv #bhghome #loveyourhabitat #diningroom
I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive for our dining room fixture. This light was here when we moved in and I think adding the cream shades will make the chandelier look bigger in scale and just give it a new look! Stay tuned… #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #sharemygrandin #yespb #myballardstyle #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #diningroom
Umbrella update… after two years, this @target f Umbrella update… after two years, this @target find still looks brand new! It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside
