It should come as no surprise to you, that I found several goodies at Round Top this year, but you won’t believe what I got for $5. Can you tell?
Give up?
It’s the vintage white lace duvet cover at the foot of my bed.
It has lots of pretty details. It’s cotton, not linen, but for $5, I’m thrilled! I had bought some vintage linen sheets from eBay, that had never been used or washed, that I planned to transform into a duvet cover for this bed, but now I can use those sheets for something else.
The duvet cover really has some pretty details.
Here’s what the bed looked like before, and the after.
I also put my bedspread on wrong side up. This side is a creamy white, a nice alternative to the oatmeal color on the right side.
The lamps have also been changed. Notice, I said “changed” which means the new ones aren’t new at all, but from a different room. I actually bought these lamps over ten years ago from Ballard Designs. I merely changed out the shades for new burlap striped ones from Target.
I have always appreciated the crystals that hang on these lamps.
And this lamp, since it is old, is actually metal, whereas most of the new lamps are resin.
I love the scrollwork detail on the base also.
Here’s what the old ones looked like.
(Note to Peggy: Yes I know, the new lamps look “awful” here and would look much better in your house.)
So for less than $50, I have a fresh look in my room. I love it when that happens, and I spend lots of time telling Mr. CH what a bargain I got so he won’t notice the other non-bargain stuff.

The subtle changes you’ve made to this room are so cozy and inviting. Can I come stay? 😉
Beautiful master! The new duvet cover is lovely. Great find……..Happy Halloween! ~ Sarah
What a bargain! That looks like an incredibly comfortable bed. The entire room looks lovely. I’m not sure I would be able to get up! You know in my reality a muddy beagle would find her way on there!
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Okay, inquiring minds want to know! I’m so jealous, I want to come to Round Top one day! We have Scott’s, but it’s different! This is the deal of the year! Wow, it’s gorgeous! It looks great on your bed! This is a beautiful room!
Wow!!! That is a lovely find and is so pretty on your bed. I love shopping for hidden treasure.
Have a wonderful weekend.

That was the $5 steal of the century! It’s amazing what just a little change will do. I especially liked the burlap shades on the lamps with the crystals, such a nice contrast. You just keep Mr. CH focused on the bargains:)

What a great find!!
Going to Brimfield I see lots of tags like that too…I actually saw and said hello to Rachel Ashwell this past May!
Great find! And a beautiful one, too! Can’t beat that price! 🙂 Love your Roos and Rabbit!
$5??? That’s great looking, even at a higher price! But for $5, I’d be over the moon! 🙂
