Treasure Hunting

Over the long weekend we went to my husbands cabin and on a cool afternoon my MIL and I went picking to the local Antique barn called Poor Richards.

This barn is so beautiful on the inside! I was in awe and wish all of my pics would have turned out. Sadly I only had my iphone with me, but you get the picture right?

We found a ton of fun stuff and we each ended up with some great finds. This place was so enormous and with a little imagination here is what I found and what it could/will become.

First up, this amazingly tall shutter. I will be using this guy as a Christmas card display. Can't you see it with an adorable It's a wonderful life sign above it??

I absolutely loved this $5 gold and black ice bucket, but decided it wasn't a must due to the fact it was filled with old water, but I did think about it...

Sorry about the fuzzy pic, I'll blame it on the poor lighting!  Okay, they had a ton of mounted racks and I absolutely thought about buying a few and spraying them all white and putting them together on a wall. Maybe someday in a boys room. What do you think??

I was head over heels for this birdcage. The size was huge and if you hung a chandelier inside this would be an amazing statement piece!! Picture Restoration Hardware over sized birdcage chandelier. Sadly the price was a little to much for me to handle.

I bought these two identical lamps for $11 each.  I have a wonderful plan for them that involves large nail heads and burlap. You'll have to wait and see!

These four mint and gold frames were in amazing shape and for $15 for all four I couldn't pass them up. I am thinking about spelling something for the kitchen in the small ones and maybe using the large in my office.

Lastly, I bought these two brass lamps for $10 a piece.

I didn't get a pic of them at the barn, but let me tell you the shades are huge! I am working on some master bedroom renovations and these will make a beautiful addition! As you can see they are all taped and ready to be painted. More on that later. This was such a fun adventure and we left with a completely full car filled with old items we are ready to make our own!!! Has anyone else found any fun treasures lately?
