Marble(s)

No, I’ve not lost mine! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. But not only are all my marbles securely rattling around in my head, but I also have a couple of “marbles” to share with you from the CoziNest booth in Daphne, AL.

If you follow the trends on Pinterest or follow any particular home decor designers, you will see that marble is back with a vengeance. There are marble wallpapers, stationery, office supplies, countertops, backsplashes and the list goes on. Well, I was fortunate enough to find two “marbles” that I’ll be happy to keep if they don’t sell. Here is the before of one of the side tables.

I love them! The top is white marble with gray veining, so I thought the base would be striking in gray as well. Here is the after:

They are in my booth now at Daphne Antique Galleria for $300 for the pair. I will bring them home as nightstands in a guest bedroom if one of you lovely people do not snag them first. If you only need one, they sell individually for $175.

In addition to the “marbles”, here is another fun piece; should you be looking for a new lamp. Unfortunately, I do not have a before picture, but it was old and out of style.

Gold/brass is another thing coming back into vogue, so you’ll find several pieces in my booth. This lamp was blue and pink and gold with an old coolie shaped lamp shade. I think the update is much more fun. First I painted the whole thing black, and then sprayed it gold. I distressed it to bring some of the black through and added the brass-nailhead trimmed, drum shade.

It is a steal at $45. The shade alone is worth $25.

There are lots of booths with friendly owners at Daphne Antique Galleria. So, if you are in the area, don’t forget to stop by. If you are interested in any of these treasures, give them a call or leave a comment for me.
