My Latest Thrifty Finds: Message From the Past
We went to Cold Spring on Sunday, one of our favorite little towns near the Hudson River.
After lunch at our favorite place, Don usually takes L for a walk to the Hudson River, while I have half an hour to browse through some of the antique stores. [Read more…]
Blue Cottage Decor: Decorating Our Bedroom Office Nook
I’m so excited to finally reveal a project I’ve worked on a couple of months ago!
We finished decorating Don’s office nook in our bedroom.
When we bought the Blue Cottage, I envisioned putting a comfortable chaise in that corner and a TV to have a spot to relax and lounge with a good book.
We had both of our office stuff in the downstairs office, but there were literally too many boxes in there to move. So we decided that the bedroom nook will be Don’s “office.” [Read more…]
Hastings-on-Hudson and the Hastings Flea Market
Today was a beautiful Sunday in the Hudson Valley! And I had a great time checking out Hastings-on-Hudson and the Hastings Flea.
Hastings-on-Hudson and the Hastings Flea
A few months ago, Ilana contacted me and told me about the Hastings Flea — a fun fleamarket she organizes in one of the Hudson River towns, Hastings-on-Hudson.
Today was the perfect day to check it out. I had never been to Hastings-on-Hudson before, and it’s only 40 minutes away from Katonah.
Hastings Flea happens every second Sunday from April-November, 10-4pm.
It showcases the Hudson Valley’s incredible talent and taste — the best artists, vintage furniture and clothing collectors, handmade jewelry, and craft makers.
Vintage Trunk Coffee Table Adds To Farmhouse Decor
If you ever see a vintage trunk for sale, buy it if it’s a good deal! bought this lovely vintage trunk coffee table a while ago, and it adds so much to the cozy decor in my living room.
I’m sharing a thrifty treasure I bought months ago at the Newburgh Vintage Emporium.
Do you remember the large vintage trunk I used as a coffee table in our living room, in front of the fireplace?
I wanted to switch that one out to a smaller table and have had my eye on this trunk with a base for many months.
I finally bought it when it went on sale for $150, which is a great deal for these two pieces.

Once I got it home, I wasn’t sure I liked how high the table is. I’m still not sure. [Read more…]
