Cast Iron

Cast Iron has become a staple in today's Home Decor scene.  Adding just a few pieces to your Shabby Chic, Colonial, Cottage or Farmhouse Home helps to accentuate your overall decorating theme.  I've recently added a line of cast iron pieces that are sure to emphasize the beautiful look that you've worked so hard to create.

For more Cast Iron pieces, visit my website, SecondHandNews on Etsy.com

I have been so fortunate to find a friend who deals in antiques and has just supplied me with a whole lot of vintage goodness.  Check back often as I'll be listing several of these beautiful pieces daily.  Today I listed a gorgeous early 1900s Folk Art piece; Oval Metal Rooster Tole Serving Tray and an early 1900s Wood Clothing Brush.  Thrilled to be adding more rustic relics throughout the week.

Fleur de Lis Travertine Tile Coaster Set

These were super easy and super fun to create. I picked up a gorgeous set of Ivory Travertine Stone Tiles from the local Tile Shop and added black vinyl fleur de lis decals that I purchased from santasgiftshoppe http://www.etsy.com/shop/santasgiftshoppe?ref=ss_profile. Next I attached four circular felt pads onto the back of each coaster to protect the furniture from being scratched (I have a seven year old that likes to play with everything as though it were a demolition car). And finally, I added a protective seal to each for long lasting durability. There you have it Mon Ami, instant French Chic! http://www.etsy.com/listing/79663044/fleur-de-lis-coaster-set

Stackable Shabby Cottage Chic Trinket Boxes

Love the way these turned out. I picked up three balsa wood craft boxes, attached a brass rose applique to each and then painted them all a soft Cottage Robins Egg Blue. The finishing touch - lightly disressing with some course sandpaper. Instant storage containers!http://www.etsy.com/listing/78752856/shabby-cottage-chic-robins-egg-blue

These adorable nautical numbers I transformed with a little paint. Resin Starfish and Clam Shells, painted a soft Robins Egg Blue. Perfect for Shabby Chic and Beach Cottage Decor. By themselves or grouped with others. Even use them as a paper weight in your home or work office.

His and Hers Mr and Mrs Matching Tea Towel Set

http://www.etsy.com/listing/78574084/mr-and-mrs-matching-set-of-dish-tea

This started out as a Bridal Shower Gift and I had so much fun creating this set that I have since added it to my shop offering. I purchased a set of gorgeous waffle weave Food Network dish towels and a set of incredibly clear and defined digital images from Graphique (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Graphique) as well as a package of Avery iron on transfer paper. I downloaded the images, printed them on to the transfer paper, ironed them and presto, instant Bridal Shower gift. I absolutely love the way that they turned out and hope that the Bride to Be is just as thrilled.
