Mint Condition

I'm working on some interior selections for an exciting project that is near and dear to my heart! Hint...there is a lot of black and white. Keep your eyes peeled for the details as they unfold!

This sweet minty bowl was a gift from the mother! Look at those scallops! It reminds me of melting chocolate mint chip icecream. The bottom is marked with the maker's stamp RRP Co. Roseville, Ohio 308.

Spring Forward

Check out these fab repro retro clock timers! Oh how I love beautifully done repro items. I ordered the three colours for the store, but the mint green one may have followed me home...

My, how good it looks with Olive Cart!

Reclaimed Jewellery Frame

My friend Meagan made this jewellery hanging piece from a frame she found on the road and a thrifted crocheted pillow cover. She painted the frame with a mix of Antibes Green and Louis Blue Chalk Paint, waxed it, and then used a staple gun to attach the lace. It could be used for displaying cards and such too! Isn't it lovely? Well, hint hint: Meagan will be starting up a furniture refinishing business soon...

Tub in Mint Condition

I saw this bathtub at an architectural salvage store for $295. Aside from the black mark you can see on the front, the interior of the bathtub is in excellent condition, considering it's probably from the '50s or '60s. Coloured fixtures are either revolting or funky, and used in the right bathroom this tub could be quite the latter. If only I had a tub that needed to be replaced!
