This was my awesome (cheap!) find at a funky local antique warehouse, now hanging in the downstairs bathroom ( no sink or toilet yet, but HEY, we have an awesome cheap mirror!) and accompanied by sconces I found online. In the process of restoring and moving into this old house I have really come to appreciate the warmth and charm in old things, especially home furnishings. The fact that you can do it for a very reasonable price makes it even more rewarding and the hunt is half the fun.
Where have I heard that before?
Some of you have asked if we’re on target for a July 1st move in. It looks as if we’ll push it back a week, move-in date the 7th, because the floor finishing is quite a project. They’ve just finished “nailing” and are going over it with a sanding machine. There are several more steps and drying time in between.
Love that mirror and it is perfect with the sconces. I love watching the progress being made on your house. Reminds me of when we built our house and it gets so exciting close to move in day.
Quite a long process doing wood floors but so worth it in the end.
Do you have far to move? Or do you live nearby so that it will be a bit less painless in getting your household belongings there? Every time we move it's 1,800 miles!

If you like the warmth and charm of old things, you'd love me! Love that mirror.
Beautiful mirror and sconces. Looks like they belong together.
It must be fun to go shopping for your house.
Having old stuff around is comforting. Sometimes I imagine who may have originally owned our (insert name of my latest favorite find here), and how it came to be in that junk shop, or where ever we got it. Now we LIVE in the ultimate old thing … this great big old house. Soon you will, too. Can't wait for your big reveal, and I'm seriously enjoying your story of the journey.
