Salt & pepper shaker display

I've been looking for some antique salt & pepper shakers for a while now. Then yesterday I stumbled upon a new consignment shop, and found a bunch of these beauties- IN LOVE! I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I am crazy, especially when I told him I want to find more & fill up my cabinet at home with them. Why? he says. Why? Because they are gorgeous! The cut glass designs, the amazing old rusty metal tops, what's not to love?!!

Right now I am coming up with some ideas on what to fill them with, or to leave them alone in their antique glory. I'll probably do both, I can't help but experiment. So far I've been looking at ideas for soldering on tops, filling with glitter, pearls, flowers petals. The ideas are endless.

What do you do with your glass collections?

Farmhouse Hutch

This big lady sold in only 2 weeks. I still miss her :( I have never found another hutch like this, at least not in the last 2 years I have been painting furniture. I am a sucker for the open look, no doors make me a happy girl! I bought some beautiful cast iron butterfly knobs, from Hobby Lobby, of course.

This was my first time using milk paint. I chose white from the company 'Real Milk Paint'. I love that it chips kind of randomly, helps make it look more authentically old. However, I am not skilled in mixing appropriately. I will most likely stick to my chalk paint. Chalk paint is just so easy, and hard not to love!
