BRING ON THE NAVY!

Since we have finished the kitchen reno, I have been repainting the rest of the house and changing things so they match the colours of the kitchen.  I am loving my new grey walls and white trim, with accents of navy blue,  rather than my old mossy walls and cream trim that I had throughout the house.  It feels clean and fresh and is a nice change.  It is expensive to redo everything and change out things just because they "don't match", but those that know me, know I am a scavenger and love to "thrift", so it hasn't been too much really.  These are a few of my cheap finds from the thrift stores.  

I am strictly keeping to my grey, blue and silver theme.  I have found pretty jars and pots for my makeup in white and blue.  
 More silver and navy.
 Found these fab plates and put them on the kitchen wall.

 I repainted the guest room and found this tranquil picture that evokes the feeling of rest and peace.  I want my guests to have a good sleep and come back often.
 I found this grey and blue bedding too.   Didn't photograph well, but it looks great all together.
 I found a navy duvet cover, bedskirt and shams for my room.  It was a bargain at $25.00 - for kingsize! The throw pillows are sumptuous velvet in navy pinstrips and royal blue.
 How lucky was this?  What are the chances?  Anthropology too
 I am a sucker for ceramic pottery and found these gorgeous pieces for next to nothing.

These were my best finds yet!  Nearly new Natuzzi leather sofa and chair for $250.00!  I was so excited to find these.  They were the inspiration for all the blue.  You just never know what you will find on any given  day.
