A Favorite Find: Julia in Portland, Oregon

Here is Julia's Dresser that she bought for $150 in an antique store in Portland...


It was already painted in two tones of greige...isn't that awesome when you find something you love and you don't have to do anything to spruce it up! She also purchased the mirror at a thrift store around the corner from her home. This just goes to show that you don't have to buy new to get incredible furniture!

Since Julia has recently moved to Portland, she hasn't styled her bedroom yet. So here's an inspirational image of a bedroom for her fabulous dresser....

Fresh Quince in 2011

Come January 1st, Fresh Quince will have a new design! I have been grappling with different images and have finally chosen something I love, so pop on over in the New Year to see my fresh new design. Here's a tiny sneak peek...

Also, I have been following a blog called Ish and Chi for quite sometime. The blogger, Viv, has a feature called Fashion Friday, where she photographs herself in gorgeous new attire. Below are some of my favorite outfits...





Stunning, huh??? Anyway, she has inspired me to create a similar feature, but instead of clothes bought new, I will focus on my second hand items. Starting next Wednesday on my What to Wear Wednesday's, I shall photograph myself weekly in all of my consignment, vintage or second hand clothes. I want to share how I have created an entire wardrobe out of used clothing with a few newbies here and there. I hope it will inspire you...remember great style does not have to be bought new!!!

Lastly, I would love love love to hear from you all next year!!!!! A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from a subscriber named Therese who wanted to share her most recent Craigslist find. I was so happy she shared because she bought the most unique and gorgeous bed frame on Craigslist. So, I decided to create a weekly post on Monday's and feature all of your favorite Craigslist, second hand, gotten out of the trash, vintage or antique finds. It doesn't matter where you found it or what it looks like, if it is special to you and your favorite, then I would love to share it on Fresh Quince. So, I hope you all look forward to My Favorite Find posts on Monday's. Here's a sneak peek at Therese's head board, which will be the first item featured starting Jan. 10, 2011...


Please send your favorite find photos to me at freshquince.danielle@gmail.com or you can reply via my e-mail posts. I seriously can't wait to see what you all have found!!!!
