Junk stores in the desert

There is no restore or painting job today! 

I am happy to share with you wonderful pictures while we were visiting Moab, Utah and Colorado. As I did in my post while driving accross Route 66 (click here if you missed it) we stopped by two gorgeous places: junk and antiques stores! I so much love them! 

The first place was in Moab, a souvenirs store. We did prefer the outdoor rather the inside because of the junk stuff standing there, obviously abandonned but maintaining its character, irrestibly vintage! Old engines, tractors, rusted pieces all over... 

The 2nd store was even more genuine! The owner was very friendly and happy to see visitors from abroad. His store was originally (and still) a beans supplier but turned into a vintage store as nearly everything was for sale: coffee, kitchenware, car plates... and oh by the way one of them is now hanging on my headboard. Enjoy the tour...

Nightstands: milk and chalk paint

You can read in my blog I often use milk and chalk paint for many of my projects. As for the pantry kitchen table for my bedroom, I have used both on the same piece. I just love milk paint! I love the texture and the antique style it provides on any piece of furniture. 

My bedroom makeover

I have followed the exact steps as for my guest bedroom makeover: painting white walls, converting, repurposing and refreshing furniture on a budget.
