Pictures of my home: Living Room

more lilacs! I just cannot get enough of them when they're in season! The prevent the mason jars from leaking water, or scratching the wood of the old radio, I placed them on vintage hankies (which came in my junk swap!) 

The old Singer sewing machine was found abadoned at the auction. The little tintype photo of a baby was also found at the auction- face down in a mud puddle! I love the way it looks on display, and I always wonder who the baby is, who they grew up to be.

The old radio was my aunt's and she gave it to me. I have plugged it in a couple times, and it 'hums' but it doesn't pick up any stations. I'd love to get it refurbished someday.

This is a corner in my living room.

The old ladder was found at the auction abandoned. The blankets that are displayed on it were crocheted by my great-grandmother, the small one at the top is my baby blanket. :)

The old school desk was also found at the auction for free. The sock monkeys were included in a large lot of toys that I bought last year.

The couches were free from my aunt when I moved to MD. The blue shelves were bought unfinished from craft stores and then painted.

The French poster was found at the dollar store, and then popped into a black frame I already had.

And the coffee table (I think you can see just part of it) was found at Salvation Army. It was plain wood, and I painted it red.

These are the shelves on my wall where I display family photos.

I found this piece at the auction on the ground. I think it was part of a halltree. I hung it above the archway from my living room to the hall.
