A few new nuggets

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Y'all know I'm an MCM girl in an MCM house. And we got selected to be on an MCM home tour in the spring, so *&@! is starting to get real. We found this amazing sculpture at an estate sale last weekend. I had actually begun pining for it when we went to the open house a few weeks back. Lo and behold, fast-forward a few weeks and it is part of the sale. I thought it would be wildly out of reach, but I think the estate sale company priced it quite low because they knew it was going to be a hassle to move. Thankfully DBF has Army buddies who made short work of the whole operation. It's concrete, about 40" tall and I have no idea how heavy.

The little swag lamp was just the shade when found on FBM a few months ago. It's ceramic of some kind, textured, with a flat gold wash over it. We got it rewired and hung today. Every little nugget counts!

Congrats on being on the tour. That's quite exciting and a bit of pressure, I would imagine.

Great finds!

The statue looks so simple at first glance, but I keep going back to look at it again and seeing something more each time.

That's a great piece.

The local MCM home tour is usually the same day of the Mustang show, so I've never been able to go. Although this year they postponed it due to the hurricane, and I missed it! Ugh.

Fabulous sculpture (and lamp) and the placement in the garden looks as if it was meant for it.
