I WANNA live there Wednesday # 135

Good morning all !

I found a site - oh wow - did I find a site !

These houses are not for sale - they're used for films !

( how many sentences can I end with an exclamation point? Probably a full post's worth ! )

All images are from JJ LOCATIONS and may just be my new favorite site to visit - you have to check them out .........

There are too many to count - and they're all gorgeous - but here's one I particularly loved !

They're a little mixed up in order ( this is not a real estate listing after all ) just serious house candy !

























































There's another one I'm drooling over but it'll have to be another time :)

You all have a wonderful Wednesday everyone !
Hugs,
Me

TRACES of Tracy !


For those of you that read yesterday's post HERE - you know that I went to pick up the cutest little cabinet from Tracy.
The moment I stepped into her house my eyes were darting all over the place !
Is that a gorgeous gallery wall or what?
I love all the architectural details - just beautiful !


We connected right away - I can't tell you how much we had in common ( and by default so did John and her hubby Trevor )

In fact I felt SO comfortable that at one point I jumped up on her sofa to snap a couple of photos !

I could hear John in the kitchen

John says - OMG -  I think she's moving things around in your living room !


And I was because I absolutely had to show you this darling little frame ...............


Which is a small lamp !


Ain't she sweet? ♫♪♫♫
( now I ask you very confidentially - ain't she sweet ? ) ♫♪♫♫

I thought of slipping it into my purse and then remembered I didn't bring my purse..............

A sewing machine table transformed to fit a large tray


LOVE the stencil !


A beautiful tapestry hangs in her living room


Her coffee table - which reminds me of my little Farmhouse Table HERE


Sorry for the state of the photos - this is just to show you that it turns into a dining room table



Really - it just goes on and on - these are just Traces of Tracy's Treasures.
I think I should start a series - Tuesdays at Tracy's and just go over for tea ( with my camera and a very large purse ) once a week !

Anyway - the purpose of this post is to show you something else I bought off her


Her brother built a shelving unit into an antique frame - I LOVE this !

There were 2 of them ( think I'm going back to get the other one next Tuesday - seriously LOL )
The one I took and another one that had some of the ornate pieces broken off................
I didn't mind that at all - it simply added to it's charm for me.............

Tracy's husband Trevor says - Well you don't want that one - there's pieces missing
Johns says - like an expert - No no Trevor - it's like buying a car with 3 doors - it's a " thing "

We had the most wonderful time with the both of you guys -
So..........what are you doing next week?
Feel like some company LMHO ???

We left and............

John says - You have positively no decorum
John says - You act like a lunatic - you're completely out of control no matter where we go
Suzan says - PULEASE - she's a kindred spirit - and as crazy as I am - I can sense these things..............

You all have a wonderful day everyone - I'm trying to decide what color to paint that frame !
And frantically trying to finish this China Cabinet that gave me a few problems with " bleed through "
I'm a day late ( and counting ) but it's oh so close to being done !


Hugs,
( I don't suppose any of you will be inviting me over for tea anytime soon LOL )
