Obsession: Window Shades...

I never hung curtains in any of my apartments, always custom blinds in a chic design... in my current apartment, I never even changed the standard white blinds that were here when I moved in... they were brand new so I hated to toss them but they are boring me after four years... but instead of custom blinds this time around, I am feeling an update to my window style... perhaps with some window shades??? 

 

 

Have a great weekend!!!

Obsession: The Antique Stove reinvented...

I apologize for the week late delay in posting; I was sick to the point that I couldn't move... but I am back and it feels good... As evidenced by my Etsy store, {Heirlooms NYC}, I love all things vintage and antique... and who doesn't love an Antique stove...

the weekend before I fell sick, I happened on a lovely idea for taking a wonderful looking antique stove that is otherwise not functional and making it into something that is actually quite purposeful...

While the majority of the stove can be used for storage without any tweaking, taking out the major mechanics and placing a great storage basket adds another area for use... and by placing a cut to fit cover on the burners, you now have a great space for displaying your favorite things... enjoy!!!
