Five Star Frou-Frou #52...

http://distresseddonnadownhome.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/friday-finds.html
 
Hello all, and welcome to Five Star Frou-Frou #52! Thankyou all for linking your lovely posts last week. It was so hard to choose a favourite, that eventually I went with a theme, and decided to feature those based upon beautiful vintage finds.
 
First off the rank was Donna at Distressed Donna Down Home who went bargain hunting and found lots of pretties from lace gowns to this adorable upcycled Shoe Form, seen above.

Next, Joy from A Vintage Green, found some equally gorgeous pieces, including these kitchenware items which are just the sort of thing that catches my eye when I'm out trawling garage sales and thrift stores. Love them all!

And finally, Vintage Eve's shared a fabulous post on the history of Spode fine china. Spode rank amongst my favourites in beautiful dinnerware, and this is a real insight!
 
Thankyou all. Please show our features some blog love and pay them a visit.

Five Star Frou-Frou #47...

Paint an old dresser with a mirror black and add glass knobs for an old Hollywood look and feel in our master bedroom! @GrandmasHousDIY 
 
Hi everyone and welcome to Five Star Frou-Frou, where we share all sorts of froth and prettiness. I hope you'll enjoy this weeks features!
 
This week I've chosen a few glam projects. I fancy a bit of glamour in my life and these all really appeal to my sense of drama and style!
 
First off, is Tarah's fabulous dresser makeover. How refreshing to see something glossy and black and fabulous. I do love the French Provincial look, but something about this striking piece really caught my eye. Thanks Tarah!

Next I chose Tammy's Vintage Desk Accessories.
 
Again, the stark palette, is soothing and yet stylish at the same time. 
 
Finally, Dawn used a favourite standby of mine, a bit o' metallic gold, to glam up an old umbrella stand. Love it!

Hello all, and welcome to Five Star Frou-Frou!
This week, Amy from A Day of Small Things was a runaway with the tally for most clicks. She showcased her divine collection of vintage patchwork quilts. I don't know about you, but I am green with envy!
Three coats of white paint made the old cabinets look new and a carefully selected tile allowed us to keep the old counter tops in order to stay within budget. | A Chat Over Coffee
 Next in line was Leigh from A Chat Over Coffee. Leigh has been renovating and the results speak for themselves. Clean lines, and a new elegant look for her kitchen, all on a budget.

And finally, Gina at Victorian Wanna Be shared her stunning collection of replica Titanic dinnerware and genuine Titanic flatware. I think for any of us, the memories of the lives lost on the Titanic, remains a poignant one. I found myself wanting to reach out and touch the plates and beautiful silverware to see what stories they would tell. How special.

Thanks to all for sharing, and please make certain to make our guest features feel special by visiting and commenting.
