White Vintage Findings

A few vintage finds (the first with a bit of a story) mostly in white with a touch of gold...

This juice glass and server set is reminicent of one my grandmother had.  She was without the server but her glasses were identical in shape and size with a bit of variation in floral pattern and color (her flowers were yellow).  Recently, my parents and I were remembering Grandma's glasses and much to my surprise my mother had located this set and gifted it to me a few weeks ago.  I can hardly wait to host a brunch!

{Adorable napkin rings also 'rescued' by my parents...my husband remarking on how our future children will love to play with  break these}

{Vintage yet modern salt and pepper shakers}

{Have searched high and low for a purse like this! Lovely intricate beading, silk lined}

{And the golden touch to this bunch is a vintage lipstick holder!  Isn't this gorgeous? A great excuse to go purchase 5 new lipsticks, non?}

Have a lovely day. xo, Alicia

As Promised: The Painting

A peek at our new painting that I referenced here.  We are still trying to compromise on where this lovely should be displayed in our house...only time will tell.  For now, it is propped against the wall in our living room.   The antique dealer is convinced we should paint the frame; his suggestions were matte black or a bright red.  I love the detail of the frame and agree it could use some color tweaking, but am hesitant to do anything to distract from the beauty of the painting.

So, what do you think?  Paint the frame? And if so, what color?

Hope you're having a lovely weekend.  We are experiencing a peaceful, delicate snow here in New York.

White Rooster

My mother has been trying to giveaway this old rooster lamp for years:

It's a little bit country in style- okay super country- for my liking (or my mom's hence the donation to me),and since I don't do country or folksy decor, I racked my brain to devise a plan to repurpose this little creature...

So, I disassembled the lamp (he's kind of cute by himself):

And dug out my glossy white spray paint to create a versatile, slightly more modern piece:









{Et Voila! Le Coq}











 Happy Monday! xo, Alicia
