Well dapper friends, my decorating project is completed.
Thank you to everyone who gave me input and ideas!

I was definately inspired by my favorite magazine
 Flea Market Style and by Country Home Magazine.

To see the before pictures go to this post.
To see the transformation keep scrolling….
                 I loved the look of the frames and I liked the look of the frames with other things
placed in them from this post.
So I did my own version of combining the two to create a look that I havent seen before.
I really like it! What do you think?

 I stayed with the white, gold and black that I have in our home.
Then I added turquoise as the accent because it is
one of my most favorite colors.
 I had the antique mirror with the gold frame
and I had some of the picture frames too.
 I went to some second hand stores to find some more cool frames
 then painted and refinished them to fit exactly what I wanted!
Because I love vintage and because I love children and am going
 to soon be an elementary school teacher,
I took a vintage children’s primer that I had and framed a few of the pages.
I bought the smaller frames setting on the wall sconce
from my friend at BowChique.
I added the wall sconce because I love the look of the
 frames stacked in layers together so I created a space to do this.
I hand dyed the ribbon my favorite dark turquoise color to hang the skeleton key
from a hook that I painted black.
In the white oval frame I just added some decorative paper.
The white doors you see in the mirror
lead to our in kitchen dining area. 
Over in a corner by these doors I put this vintage
chair also done in my favorite color!
This corner is my favorite.
 I purchased the photo of the vintage typewriter from
Catherine Ann Decor and noticed that
 the Letter “T” was right below the number “5”.
I asked her if she would do a custom close up of this for me
because our last name is Temcio
and there are 5 members of our immediate family.
She did an outstanding job and I am so happy to have
vintage looking modern art that has  deep
meaning to me and that I can keep forever.
Here is another view.
In the opposite corner from this on the otherside
of the big front window,
I painted a salvaged magazine rack to look like
 old weathered white paint. 
 I ripped an old trellace from our yard and wrapped my
amazing plant up the wood
so it will grow around it . I love plants!
I also put up another vintage mirror that I have had
for a long time, and I framed the Arizona licence plate
 from an old car of ours because up until 5 years ago
Arizona is where I have lived my life
and I love the reminder of home.

I stacked up some old vintage boxes I already had in my work space….
Then my daughter had the awesome idea of using old wine boxes
pushed together as a coffee table. Love it!!

Antique chest from Great Grandma,
some books that my daughter and I ripped the covers
off of and bound with old string…
add a few more books and a box…perfection!
The table that used to be in front of the window is now behind the sofa.
! FABULOUS !
