fall is creeping in...and i love it! the smell, the breeze, the need for longer sleeves, and i even spotted some red leaves this weekend too! hubby and i spent time at our local flea market this weekend! i love these days together!
oddly enough...the vendors had exactly what i am always looking for, but i was not in the market for those things this trip! we did come across...just "the find" we were searching for! an old wooden ladder!
there are many times that i dream up crazy ideas when it comes to decorating. some work and some i can't get to work outside my head and others i wonder if they are border line crazy and my supportive husband takes the challenge of making them feasible! the ladder is one that started in my head and we were so surprised to actually find one that would fit what we needed it for...now lets just hope it actually works for what its intended!
we stopped by lowe's on the way home to pick up some paint for it and handy man hubby set to work getting it cleaned, sanded, and layered in a fresh coat of paint!
he did a fabulous re-do job! it turned out perfectly! it will be a unique addition to the little man's room all loved and cleaned up nice by his daddy!
...our unexpected find was this antique cradle. not that we need a cradle {because i LOVE the one we found last year}, but with the unique look of this piece, its fabulous spindles, and its shocking price...we couldn't pass it up! the question was more along the lines of "will it fit in the car"? not too sure what we'll use it for yet, but i'm leaning towards adding wood to the bottom {instead of the slats that came with it} and using it to hold the little man's toys! ...any other creative ideas ladies?
hope your weekends are turning out breezy and cool too! i just love this time of year! of course, it also means the little mister is making his debut soon...8 weeks and counting!!!

love your finds! can't wait to see them in his room!
What great finds! I have an old ladder in my basement leaning against the wall holding blankets. It's not a totally creative idea for it but it's cute! I can't wait to see what you will do with yours! I love the cradle...very beautiful! I also think the idea of putting toys in it is a fantastic use....I can't think of a better one! Excited to hear about your little man...soon, soon, soon!
i can't wait to see the nursery!
you could put it in another part of the house so he can be near you while you're working in your office or in the kitchen or something.
My in-laws live in Pittsburgh! Where is a local flea market? I would love to go to it sometime when we're visiting. What a BEAUTIFUL cradle. I am so glad I found your blog again! :) Kelly
