Hi all, I hope your having a wonderful and relaxing week.
I wanted to show you another gift I got for Christmas. I have been wanting one of these sinks forever and found one in a fantastic on-line shop that I found through Lulu at "DustyLu". The shop owner has the most amazing style and the most wonderful French and European vintage treasures for sale. Her name is Debra Hall and her shop is called "Debra Hall Lifestyle".
Vintage European Wall Sink Lavabo from the 1920's.
I love the chippy green paint on the sink basin.
I think this would be beautiful filled with fresh or dried hydrangeas!
If you haven't stopped by Debra's shop, do so now, I know you will love her treasures. She also has a blog where you can see a tour of her beautiful home full of French farmhouse antiques. I could look at her photos for hours!!
I changed a few things around the house the day after Christmas. I'm always ready for something fresh and clean after the craziness of the holidays.
I really need to finish upholstering the arms on this vintage settee in the New Year. And I think I'll change out my bucket chandie for a small crystal chandie. The bucket light would look great in my boys room.
I love these vintage wicker wine bottles. I would love to have a collection of these, but they are so expensive now. I remember when I lived in No. Cal, I found 2 of these for $18.00 a piece and I never got them. I could just kick myself for passing these up!
Have you done that, passed up something you wished you wouldn't have?
Well, I can't wait to start the New Year!! I actually woke up early this morning and walked on the treadmill. Yoga starts next week, and I'm more than ready for that too!
Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement and again for your prayers!!
I wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Sincerely,
Love to find new places to visit, thanks Melinda!

Your sink is just lovely Melinda and well done on your walk this morning. I have been in real holiday mood doing no exercise and eating way to much food! I hope you Dad is better, I will keep him in my prayers. All the best for 2012, enjoy your yoga. xx
ReplyDeleteI just love those French wall sinks. I am on the look out for one too at the right price. I almost bought one last year at a flea market and I wish I had gotten it. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Melinda,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see your post! Wow, talk about eye candy, that sink is perfect, now I want one.
I also have a couple of those vintage wicker bottles, I found mine at an antique flea market in Sandwich, Illinois. Grab 'em when you see 'em because they are hard to find.
Happy New Year to you and your family. xo Rhonda
Hi Melinda~ Wow- the goodies never end!! I love that sink..I think dried hydrangeas would be perfect.If you need some, I have a million!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!! They have those bottles at the Rose Bowl. They are usually about $40.00.
