This past weekend I was able to visit some antique stores while visiting with family in the Duchess County region of New York. I hit the jackpot. 

First up are these adorable chalkboard labels. They are going to look great in the mudroom, don’t you think?

Next, the hand. I know it looks a bit strange now, but there is going to be a great explanation behind it, along with a coat of paint.

I picked up four rolls of wallpaper, 56.37 square feet each for a total of eight dollars!!!! Not just any wallpaper. Waverly textured wallpaper in a gorgeous pattern. Keep your fingers crossed that it is paintable. It doesn’t say much on the label but I plan to try it anyways. Maybe a slight glaze, nothing too heavy so that it doesn’t warp the paper. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m still deciding what to use it for.
