Another room complete

We have been working on finishing the porch over the summer and today all the pieces came together. One half of the porch will be a sitting area and the other end a mudroom. The sitting area is complete and the perfect collection of found objects and re-purposed items.

A printer type drawer and drop side table that David found at the Swap Shed at our town recycling center.

Vintage crib that we refinished and re-purposed as a day bed. Hanging on the wall are a mix of new and old items including a chicken feeder from our barn and vintage milk bottle caps.

 

The crib before and a vintage advertisement for this style of crib from 1950.

Under the window, a refinished cobblers bench that my mom and I found at a barn sale. A bean pot from the swap shack and three vintage milk bottle hung on a piece of barn wood from our house.

Next to the day bed is dry sink original to the house. By the door we have a old milk can from David's family.

The mudroom end with great built in shoe cubicles and shaker pegs for our coats.

 

Our next project is to refinish this sewing machine from our barn which we believe is from 1895-1900. Stay tuned for photos soon and for updates on the mudroom end.
