Did you spot the metal tray in my post yesterday? It’s actually a set of three and it’s my Designer Pick for Antique Farmhouse today! I like pieces that are versatile and corral little items that might otherwise look like clutter and these metal trays are perfect for that. I used these to style the shoe cart in my studio, but I’m thinking they would be great for magazines, books, oils and condiments by the stove, toiletries, office supplies, craft supplies, as the base to a table centerpiece, or a way to hold plants to protect a table from water rings.  Endless possibilities. Would you like to win a set? Here’s how to enter the giveaway to win the set of three nesting trays from Antique Farmhouse (leave a separate comment for each action for additional chances to win)… Simply leave a comment on this post.

This is a pine, three door cabinet on little casters.  It wore green paint at some point, but has

Kriste and were able to squeeze in some shopping earlier this week on the way back from Megan’s house, to stock up for The Market on Chapel Hill.  It’s coming up so fast!  We didn’t find as much stuff as I had hoped for, but I packed the van full today with some amazing finds when my mom and I hit another of my favorite antique stores.  More on that later. When Kriste and I were out, I did find a few cool pieces for the market.  One thing, though, I bought for myself. You know when you see one of those pieces and you know right away that it’s special?  That’s how it was with this. In the back of the store in an unassuming place by the men’s restroom, there was an old, worn chalkboard leaning up against the wall… The chipped paint, wood planked writing surface, chunky frame and warm
