Well it's the fall and on any given Saturday morning you probably can find dozens of yard sales going on all over your neighborhood. But I think what happens on Sunday is even better! Typically people will either donate or toss out the things that aren't sold at their yard or garage sales, and sometimes they will even put it out on the roadside and just give it away. I like to call Saturday's unsold items "Yard Sale Casualties" and the lamp and the mirror in the below picture were just that! I was so inspired by these two castoffs that I rearranged the furniture in my entryway and they became the focal point of the design. I kept things very simple and clean, with only a few pops of autumn's orange.
(The buffet was free too only it was from my parents. I painted the base and removed the lacquer finish from the top.)
Isn't this lamp fabulous?
This little Halloween bucket I bought in Brimfield last month...what can I say...I'm a sucker for Halloween and anything with witches!!
