On acres of the
seeded grasses
The changing burnish
heaves;
Or marshalled under
moons of harvest
Stand still all night
the sheaves;
Or beeches strip in
storms for winter
And stain the wind
with leaves.
--from Tell Me Not Here, It Needs Not Saying by
A.E. Housman
Picture 1: Light bulb
cover (.50 cents at a yard sale) and Edison ‘squirrel cage’ filament antique style bulb.
Picture 2:
Upcycled yard sale
jewelry tree into a church candelabra with shabbos candles held in with tacky
wax (in the candlemaking section of your craft store).
Picture 3: Chandeliers
stripped of white paint, patinated with Jax antiquing polish and small smears
of black Rustoleum paint.
Picture 4: Angel wings fashioned from heavy gauge baling wire and oxidized with Jax antiquing polish.
I love using vintage accessories to show off the contrast between black and white. Industrial and hard vs. romantic and soft is elegant, practical, and leavens when your shabby romantic interior feels too “puffy and ruffly”.
Until next time, stay shabby!
