In just about a week I will be flipping my decor over to the Autumn theme, Vintage School House. I think I have most of the decorative elements lined up. I'm still on the hunt for a vintage map, a small green demijohn, and some new barstools for my kitchen (mine are $5 tag sale finds that are starting to show their age and wear). One of the big things on my list for the new look, and hopefully several after was a set of antique oak school house chairs. If you recall, I had another set this past spring. I really enjoyed refinishing them, and know they went to a loving home, but I kind regret letting them go, and had been searching for more for myself ever since. I've finally managed to assemble a set of five. They are all slightly different, which I love, but suit my dining table (early 20th century oak library table) perfectly. I'm planning to paint them all white...but maybe keep the kelly green armchair as it is. Such a pretty color, and the paint is in perfect condition. What do you think? Should I paint it white too??
So here are some pictures of vintage maps and demijohns I covet, my new dining chairs, and this fabulous vintage leather bag I scored at the flea market on Sunday for $4.

I already have a large one that I got at Brimfield in July. I'm hoping to get a smaller one at Brimfield in September to put next to it on my sideboard in the dining room. |

Two fabulous maps. This room definitely has the vintage school house vibe. |
|
So these were the two chairs I picked up last week to complete my set of five. I paid $25 for the pair. I love them, especially the arm chair. |
|
Uggghhh I can't wait to get that air conditioner out of the window! |
|
I think the chairs will really add to the school house feel once everything is all set in the space. I have to get them painted in the next week. I'm still toying with what the centerpiece will be, possibly a couple antique silver plated trophies overflowing with gourds... |

gorgeous supple leather vintage purse. It's sooooo soft! |
