| Burlap Luxe Home all Photos Romantic and Rustic I am relentless when it comes to creating from pieces I can re-imagine. |
 |
| I embraced this carpenters saw horse found in a friends junk pile and what I imagined it to be. By adding a scrap of old builders wood to the bottom I created a shelf. I had a perfect piece of old oak wood planked that I knew I could use for the table surface. It had just the right amount of white paint and old to it, all I had to do is add a bit more. Built solid and sturdy making it a rustic piece with authentic charm. |
 |
| Books of design beauty and poetry is never far from reach on my side table. "If you can't be the poet, then be the poem." |
 |
| Timeworn with just the right amount of white and worn. All I had to do is add a bit more old to it. |
 |
| I want my home to feel timeless with authentic rustic French coziness. |
 |
| Best pieces are salvage for there beauty of many years of use. |
 |
| A collective shallow box belongs to my daughter Hannah where she gathers and collects salvage bits of poetry. Inspiring the beauty in what we can redux with pieces salvaged. |

I'd say you have created the desired affect...stunning. Love the saw horse and the chair together. All the soothing ways to create contrast & interest you have developed it in abundance.
Dore, you do timeless so well.
Ohhh it's always a happy happy day when I see a Post from my sweet friend.
Hope all is well with you and Miss Hannah :)

Every now and then I miss one of your beautiful posts. It doesn't come up on my blog roll for some reason. I finally caught this one and it is a perfect post for me. You give me so much beautiful inspiration.
So lovely! I adore all the wood showing through underneath the white!

ADORE, that inspiration box of Hannah's gets me every time. I have one and love what ends up in it.
I love your homeless finds and how you salvage them. I'm hoping for cooler weather to start searching the curbs for such fins.
As always, leaving here much inspired. xo Rhonda
Doré,
With each new blog entry I attentively observe your display juxtaposition, the contast of rustic to your graceful repurposing.
The reinvention of a saw horse into a peaceful white side table sprinkled with your magical pixie dust and staged with those stunning heels.
You tantalize our perception of scale with the lovely lamp base topped off like a crown with a tiny shade almost Alice in Wonderland - thrilling.
I love your silver collection. My Grandmother's silver I inherited I keep polished to gleam. OK let's just say it's the Virgo in me!!! My hotel silver I allow a bit of patina to
enjoy.
XOXO,
Vera
definitely you have given your house the feel you like. It's beautiful.
Dear Dore
The beauty that you give to our hearts is endless. I am always in awe of the talent that you give from the depths of your heart. Thank you for gracing us with such beauty my dear friends!
much love to you my friend

Hope you had a nice weekend:-)

Your re-purposed table is amazing! I bet your friend is wishing she could take it back:)
I've been reading poetry books that I've collected off Etsy and enjoying them also! Your daughters little box of treasures is darling:)
Dear Dore, coming here is like a breath of fresh air. Just as you breathe life back into old discarded pieces, you inspire me with the beauty it becomes. Hope all is wonderful with you, love my friend, Christel
I can just see you in those fabulous heels and that white shawl!
Beautiful salvaged pieces Dore!Love that saw horse!You took a salvaged piece and made it a beautiful piece of art that added so much charm to your beautiful home!

Just lovely, Dore. Simple and elegant, just your style. Some items can stand alone and give a strong statement with no need for adornment. You always manage to find just the right piece to speak for itself. Beautiful!
Hugs,
Patti
Why in the world would anyone have that lovely piece in their junk pile? I guess we all see things in different ways, but I love it! Your photos are beautiful as always Dore and your home...well , just...*SIGH*...stunning!!
Blessings~
Oh...So much loveliness here! I will spend some time scrolling down and enjoying. ~Dori
Unbelievable what you did with that sawhorse. It is so elegant now! Look at the pretty lines, and the way the legs angle out. You took a rough old sawhorse and made it look absolutely beautiful...
Cindy
