A recent find prompted a change in the living room.
I am sure you remember that I originally had my vintage wood baking rack in my kitchen.
But after I found this door I knew I would have to move the vintage rack.
You know how it is….you find something and in your mind you know the perfect spot for a new found treasure.
At first I added the baking rack to my dining room but it just did not look right with the pieces I already had in that room.
Next stop was the living room.
As soon as I put this rack in the living room it fit perfectly with the style and decor I have in this room.
It actually looks better in here than my kitchen!
It has a little bit of a farmhouse industrial feel to it.
And since I moved it I also had to change what I had on this rack too.
I could not keep it stacked with piles of dishes.
Oh yes forgot to mention, you notice the sewing machine is not here.
I moved my antique sewing machine to my studio…for now.
I will share that room again soon!
Hmmmm I think I could very possibly have a tour of my home weekly as it seems to change….often!
Okay back to the rack ….I just added a few items keeping it simple.
My cedar salt branches,my favorite candle sticks and a new piece I found.
It is an old sewing box,I love the faded fabric.
Did you notice that quilt on my ladder?
I found this recently at a goodwill store.
If you follow me along on instagram….and I hope you do……..you saw this quilt.
I was asking if anyone knew how old it was.
Some think maybe it is early 1900’s and a friend of mine who is an antique dealer seems to think it is from the 20’s or 30’s looking at the fabrics.
This is absolutely gorgeous!
I was shopping for things for my online shop coming soon….but I think I need to hold on to this for awhile.
It’s a lovely fall day here today and I finally added some fall decor to my porch.
I will be sharing that soon!

I loved it in your kitchen – but WOW it looks gorgeous in your living room too Anne!!!
( can’t wait to see it in your bedroom – because we know it’ll end up there one day too right lol ??? )
XOXO
I love that old style rack in your living room! It’s perfect there. I also like how you styled the shelves. I would love to have one of those racks! Isn’t it nice that you can just roll it from room to room? I know all about moving things around, so anything with wheels is a bonus! LOL! I bet you’re having fun looking for things to put in your online shop.
Lovely quilt. Love the shelf in your room, my sister has one too!
Everything looks so beautiful!
Everything is just so pretty. Love the baking rack and the ladder.
Love it in your livingroom and love the dear old sewing box!
Hi Anne
It looks fabulous in the living room. I have a big door project I am working on this week. I am loving this weather we are having to be painting. Love the quilt. You get so lucky at the Goodwill.

Very nice! OMG, ! am also drooling over that wood-frame leather chair. I want one or two!!!
Anne- The piece looks great in its new location. It is fun to move things around, isn’t it? I’ve been doing a bit of that around here, too.
That quilt is most likely from the LATE 40s/early 50’s. I recognize MANY of those fabrics. Those prints came from chicken mash bags. My Mom always went in to the feed mill and picked her own bags out rather than let them just load up anything. Once the bags were emptied and washed they were used to make clothing. I still have some quilts made with some of those same fabrics. My mother and grandmother pieced them when I was little. xo Diana
Ooops wanted to add. Some of those fabrics might be older but people kept their clothes until they wore out and then cut out the “good” pieces to save for quilting. I think it is a real combination of years of fabric and the quilt was probably put together in the late 50’s…maybe even early 60’s.
Your vintage rack looks great in your living room! I love moving things around to. It is wonderful that the style of your home flows so nicely from room to room so you can change things around as much as you like!
I adore that vintage rack you found Anne. It is so versatile and seems to work in every room you put it in.
Is that a slipcover you have on your sofa? I think I remember reading that in one of your past blog posts. I have never seen a slipcover look so great! I need to cover two love seats in my living room and was wondering if you would share your source. I haven’t had any luck finding any that look and fit right.

Love the change!
Getting ready and excited for lots of changes around here…makes it easier to close down our campground for the season!
You found that quilt at Goodwilll?????? Wholly crow… what a deal!! Congrats to you on this treasure, Anne! And the one piece in the room that my eyes had a hard time looking away from was the leather cushioned chair. Where, oh, where did that beauty come from? Love it as well as the rest of the room. Thanks for sharing!
I like what you did with the door and also the vintage rack looks lovely in your living room and your living room is gorgeous.The quilt you got at goodwill is beautiful,what a great find!
Looks beautiful in your living room! I love the vintage rack with all of your treasures! The whole room is wonderful!
love the rack. That’s exactly what I would like to build for our future sunroom.
Anne,
What a beautiful, beautiful room! Thanks so much for sharing and for inspiring me today!
Happy day!

Love, love, love that quilt. Your baking rack is wonderful in the living room.
I laugh about a weekly tour because that is how frequently I switch things around from room to room.
I would say the quilt is from the 30’s. why? because I have some of that same fabric. not original, but reproduction fabric. mercy! you are a luck gal!! keep that quilt!
I think it looks beautiful in your gorgeous living room! I love your good will quilt! What a great find.

Hi Anne, Beautiful changes! I would agree with your friend about the age of the quilt being 30’s to 40’s based on the fabrics and the pattern. It’s called Dresden Plate and was a very popular pattern. Love your blog!
Your changes look great Anne! I am still drooling over that rack.
Your cottage is beautifully decorated, I love the primitive ladder and its fresh color, the flowers, the light … all!
Curious to see the porch!
Happy WE
