Bathroom & Vintage Pyrex

Guys, this is why I've been absent from blogging for a few days.

I've been trying to get this bathroom finished for a few days now and ran into all sorts of problems. I need to do some touch ups because the paint is peeling in places (ugh!!) and my edge lines are much less than perfect. But it's mostly done and I love the color! 

Today we have some serious yard-saling planned for the morning. Going to be on the lookout for some treasures. I've decided to hunt for an old fashioned telephone to use on my old fashioned telephone table. I asked the employees at Somerville Antiques Center if they could estimate what decade my piece is from, and they said the fact it is wood as opposed to chrome indicates 1940's, but the vinyl seat would indicate more the 1950's. They told me to check under the vinyl to see if there is an original fabric, which would confirm 1940's but had just been recovered. Which makes me think, when I recover it maybe I should go over the vinyl instead of removing it - to preserve the history, you know? Still thinking about the colors for it, but I'm pretty sure it's going to go right here after removing the quilt rack and shifting things around:

So to keep in the correct time period as the table, I'm going to look for either one of those old black phones or the fancy French style ones. It would be great if I could actually use it for my landline, we will see what I can find. 

Last night I took a stroll through the Friday night events in Downtown Somerville, and despite my lack of interest in cars, it was pretty cool to see all the classic cars lining Main Street, and the guys standing next to their cars speaking all proudly about them. That's when I wandered into the antique store and asked about the table, and I also went digging for what I look for every time - vintage Pyrex. They have a ton but most of it is either in complete sets or just boring patterns. I've been looking for small individual pieces to use as accents in my kitchen, specifically to match some of the pieces featured in this poster from Pocono Modern:

This was the first piece I found a couple months ago:

Last night I found three more!! I wouldn't have typically purchased all three at once, but it's been so hard to find specifically what I am looking for. 

The last one is not actually on the print, but I've never seen one like it and it was very reasonably priced.

I need to figure out a good way to display them. I was thinking for them to go across the top of my cabinets, but I still need a display method. Maybe small cake stands? 

Have a great Saturday everyone!!
