H. Miller Studio</a>, formerly of CT and now recently relocated to Berryville, Va.  I only wish my photos did these pieces better justice.  The mirror above is a beautiful combination of modern and antique and I'm in love with the two simple gold wire sconces that flank each side.  Peter H. Miller, the artist and craftsman behind these pieces, creates period appropriate and historically inspired hand made, carved, water gilded artisan frames for paintings and mirrors in the same spirit and techniques used by American frame-makers in the early 20th century and their European predecessors. Here's a close-up of a custom frame he was working on during the festival.  He mentioned to me that there are only a few people in America working with these same techniques.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhezUEi0w_SQzEny-8DuF_N091vY558Sf7pwKTG1HP6XJ_mfhX7t_T5AL7_feYs5L7CkW0dRy_b919ZZBUYruVW29mBJnGbGueabkLXeG2pc9GCOhSIDOEo4iyBTldh42evuVI5ybZAm91/s1600/DSCN5689.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I found a lightweight 20"wide X 24" high mirror ($25) and attached it to the original mirror with eye screws and picture hanging wire. The cabinet still opens as widely as it did before because the mirror just clears the wall.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6W32_nRsGxnxwqHFPW3zjQAMsRiHMajDctG6-GY9Y7XausKiZmO_lEsqmw8_JEt_JlcKNT5aAm67YpGU6_zNvUnGCynOqMaGEbcztDGFJ3FO7eBI2aDKDKee3jFyxFs_PzZADzYHxmJY8/s1600-h/atlanta+144+(2).jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311375391043033218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6W32_nRsGxnxwqHFPW3zjQAMsRiHMajDctG6-GY9Y7XausKiZmO_lEsqmw8_JEt_JlcKNT5aAm67YpGU6_zNvUnGCynOqMaGEbcztDGFJ3FO7eBI2aDKDKee3jFyxFs_PzZADzYHxmJY8/s400/atlanta+144+(2).jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br /><br />I'm happy to report that 5 years later, it's still working beautifully.   Hope you have a great weekend.

Hoarding & A Mention

Okay, so I have this antique booth and technically when I'm out at the flea market or estate sales or thrift stores, I'm supposed to be shopping for the booth. But honestly, things haven't been moving too quickly at the old booth lately, so what's a girl to do when she spots a really cool mirror at the flea market?<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiKz7MBIn09lYnYkw03LovLvYi_wCEssJwtqOwS37Aw1lf6GL13qNzNfLsaLyoDDVQpjPoDt8Vn0TPiMdtt0YNG-E1EBJUyqVLPdmuj7pTkvdbtXpHXdQZzJpD5qsBAhg9jWDvU5APXAWR/s1600/IMG_0245.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiKz7MBIn09lYnYkw03LovLvYi_wCEssJwtqOwS37Aw1lf6GL13qNzNfLsaLyoDDVQpjPoDt8Vn0TPiMdtt0YNG-E1EBJUyqVLPdmuj7pTkvdbtXpHXdQZzJpD5qsBAhg9jWDvU5APXAWR/s640/IMG_0245.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Please excuse my goofy expression.

Especially when I have the perfect spot for it (this is my mantra even when my house is chocked full). I had to do some engineering on the back, but I think it looks great here. And I think I'm going to leave it white/cream. I thought about gold-leafing it, but I've got a lot of brass/gold going on in the room so I'm going to leave well enough alone. Of course, I've had plans to paint this ugly built-in black for some time now . . . and this clinches it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You see this is a problem spot in my house. My circa-1997 house builder decided it was a nifty idea to have this built-in niche to hold a television. The problem? Most of today's flatscreens are too wide for this space, and a small TV would just not do for my husband. Thus, we have this situation at the back of the built-in . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRzWYkqphiuKlE-mGK_TXA6BP89j_wadT1wYb0FdiZCvAmVT5xQwSMzjGcMXmz6DFJjs5liFLi-BfnzV48T3H1qREP-S39MFcLCrxKlufFSPkUslRgTEKX8euB1nBg3o5iIzHxYYPKdCHH/s1600/IMG_0555.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRzWYkqphiuKlE-mGK_TXA6BP89j_wadT1wYb0FdiZCvAmVT5xQwSMzjGcMXmz6DFJjs5liFLi-BfnzV48T3H1qREP-S39MFcLCrxKlufFSPkUslRgTEKX8euB1nBg3o5iIzHxYYPKdCHH/s400/IMG_0555.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yes, I realize these could be relocated by an electrician, but then the wall would have to be patched and repainted, and it's just too much for my feeble brain to handle.

I thought so too!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I also found a pair of yellow mid-century lamps at the flea market that I will reveal at a later date.

Well, they do. And when I stumbled across it the other day, I left a comment telling them about the Worlds Away chandelier in my dining room, and they were nice enough to share it on their <a href="http://worldsawaymemphis.blogspot.com/2011/06/our-memphis-friend.html">blog</a>. So nice! Thanks, Worlds Away. I love practically every item you've ever produced, so this is quite an honor.</div>
