Farmhouse Finds

I wanted to share a few vignettes around my house that I put together using some new farmhouse finds. 

First is this unique looking cow plaque.  It is framed in a barn gray looking frame with metal pieces in the corners.  I placed it in my dining room on my sideboard.  Then I accented it with some shed antlers.  I like the pop of gray that it brings to the room and I needed some more artwork in there anyway. 



Next is this vintage shoe mold I found at an antique store.  I placed it in a vignette with a plant and small wicker jug.  I love the patina of the old wood and the numbers stamped on it.


I ordered this cute set of ticking striped tea towels from Pottery Barn a few weeks ago when they offered free shipping.  These are available online only.  I ordered the brown color without a monogram and hung it over a piece of burlap in my kitchen. The second one is in my powder room.


I changed up the vignette on my tea table in my sitting room too.  I like the neutral colors together with found objects. There is a turkey feather mixed in with the pheasant feathers that my husband found while camping in TN recently.  I told him he should've brought me more!  He didn't know I would love it so much.  Ha!


Since I live in the south, I'm very accustomed to finding pine cones in the yard, however, we don't find any that look like this.


These are called sugar cones and I am in love with them! They are lighter in color than pine cones and much much bigger.  I just placed these in this greenery just to see how they would look at Christmas time.  I have them on the mantel for now.


I figured they could be used during the winter months and especially during Christmas mixed in greenery. 

I also wanted to let you know about a wonderful giveaway going on over at the A Beautiful Mess blog.  It's amazing and I think ALL of my readers would love to win it!  So go check it out.

    You have a real eye for putting together vignettes! Those metal corners on the cow picture make it!
    And I love the PB towels! I was in PB yesterday and it's full of goodies!

    The feathers are delightful the way you are displaying them and I like the painting of the cow, with the antlers too. Well done my friend.

    Your cow picture is fabulous. I love it. All of your vignettes are stunning. I have a bunch of those huge pinecones, I need to find that bag somewhere and use them. Beautiful feathers too. I love your mantel and the dog painting is stunning. Hugs, Marty

    Very nice vignettes Kelly. I love the aged look of the cow. I think feathers are great as accents, and you've displayed them beautifully.

    I have a million pine cones in my yard but none like that. The sugar cones are big and bold. Love the shoe form.

    You really are great at putting things together Kelly. I really love the feathers and the antlers. I bought some sugar cones years ago at Michaels but haven't found any more since then. I really like the cow painting and the frame is great. Thanks for visiting me again. Love your home.

    Everything looks so pretty.
    I have a hard time using antlers as my hubs is a hunter and we've had antlers around our house forever. I never thought they were pretty...until I saw how you are using yours. Really nice.
    I love the demijohn with them....
    Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go out to the shed and pick up some deer antlers. :)))

    Beautiful!

    I'm a Southerner too and the biggest pine cones I've ever seen in my life came from my mom and dad's property when they lived in McComb, Mississippi. Amazing!
