Vintage Finds From Land Of Cotton Antiques

Lord knows, we.DON'T.NEED.any.more.furniture!!! But we found some wonderful deals on our visit to Dothan, Alabama's Land of Cotton Antiques.  You may recall, that's where we found this sweet blue table for the lake house.



We went back the other day, and on this visit, my husband found two pieces at great prices that he really wanted, so we stood there in the store and decided where they would fit in the house.

This cedar drop front secretary caught his eye, along with a vintage tea cart.  According to the lady in the store, the tea cart is from the fifties.



 Price:  $145.00


I've had this chair for about 10 years.  I bought it at consignment for around $10.  It matches the desk quite well.




He also chose this vintage tea cart.  It has no wheels, and I don't see where it ever had any.  Usually they have two larger wheels on one end.

The green marble top goes well with the wall in the dining room, so we placed it near the windows.

It has 2 drawers, and a removable tray, and is also a drop leaf table, so a great deal for $50.00.

The colorful tea towel was given to me by a sweet friend several years ago.  The tea service belonged to my husband's mother.


I was shopping for a small table to use as a night stand in the front guest room.  The one I bought fits the space perfectly.

It is a drop leaf table with a place for magazines at the bottom. It fits perfectly between the bed and the vanity.

I bought this doily.  It has a place needing repair, but a book covers it nicely until I can mend it.

Wouldn't this small table look great in cream with a graphic on the drop leaf?  It is a candidate for a makeover.

The desk replaced the white desk I had here, and the chair replaces the pink & white one.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
