Fall 2019 One Room Challenge - Week 4: redesigned finds

It’s already Week 4 of the Better Homes & Gardens One Room Challenge and while my brother and contractor Paul has transitioned to working on our cottage bunkie interior, I’ve been doing some serious shopping and redesigning some pretty great finds.

amazing finds from my favourite antique store - antiques on 11 north

Redesigned Finds

Reducing, reusing and recycling - Redesign - is at the foundation of everything I do. I always try and incorporate vintage and antique elements and transform them to achieve a look that has been curated over time. This project is no exception and I’ll be bringing in several redesigned finds for the space including:

• 4 antique quilts from the Christie Antique & Vintage Show

• 2 vintage bark cloth curtain panels (turned pillows) from Kijiji

• 3 painted paddles and oar from Antiques on 11 North

• 2 antique fishing baskets from Antiques on 11 North

• a yellow chenille blanket (turned lumbar pillows) from Value Village

• 2 antique step stools from Antiques on 11 North

• 2 vintage sides tables (now painted) from Kijiji

• an original Rod Prouse painting from Antiques on 11 North

• a vintage Italian tole chandelier from Cookstown Antique Market

• a vintage embroidered tablecloth (turned pillows) from Antiques on 11 North

• and the 4 vintage pillowcases that inspired the entire interior design for our bunkie from our Orillia Salvation Army

This upcoming week is going to be a big one! In addition to painting the bunkie interior I need to assemble bunk beds, paint side tables, sew pillows and layer everything in to be ready for the photo shoot and finish in time for the final reveal in early November.
