Garage salen # 9 jaCk's room
Not much to share this week in terms of Garage sales for me. We are leaving for vacation come Monday, and I am busy packing, ironing and list making! I have been wanting to share Jack's room with you all for some time now. Jack's room is filled with treasures both old and new. He has some special antiques that he has picked out himself when going to the shops with us. Hope you enjoy them.
I have some features to share with you as always. First up my friend DIANN. I have watched her garden over the last couple of weeks go from lovely to MEGA COOL and colorful! Of course I would like to believe I have had some influence on this....perhaps I have, I think she told me I did:) But don't you just love these colorful planters...I think she got them for a buck crazy!
Next on the list is.....my friend Michelle, again I would like to take credit for her new fun color choice....I do believe she told me that too:) I swear I am not bluffing or bragging..well yes I am, but who cares!..I just can't help but spread the color love!
You really have to check out her tutorial on this piece. Last but not least this week is
my friend Debbie-Dabble...and yes I am going to take credit once again for her color inspiration on her fun garden finds. Well you see all these colors are great FUN in and around your home...makes old things look fun and fresh. Go check out these awesome blogs, you will be glad you did.
Now onto the weekly Garage salen party #9
The radio here was my Grandfathers, and I have such fond memories of Gramp playing his radio. It still works too.
This we found at our favorite antique shop. In fact Jack spotted it. It was only $6.00 and is all hand made with copper....can you imagine the time alone that went into this?
Boat is from an antique shop, and the little ceramic wiener dog was also my Grandfathers. Jack was named after my Gramps....I am sure my Grandfather planted the seed for Jack...as he was conceived a month after my Grandfather passed away.
Jack is big into Martial arts, at the age of 8 he obtained his black belt after four years of hard work
These where in the middle of his floor as usual, I very carefully moved them aside for my photo opThis day was dreary when I took the photos...although not the best of photos...you get the gist of Jack's old man room.....with all his OLD antiques.
Link going up a bit early, I want to be sure to have enough time to visit everyone before I leave:) Happy thrifting! Linking up to a few lovely hosts! Thanks so much!

Love Jack's room! I think it is fantastic that he picked out so much of what is in there and made it his. That is pretty impressive to have a black belt at his age! I love that quilt with the blues and oranges. Tell Jack he has one rocking room! Have a safe trip and enjoy your family and friends!
Love Jack's room! I wish my boy's rooms were this neat! They are NOT neat people! Sadly!
The ship is awesome and for $6.00? Wonderful!!
Have a great vacation~!

Jack's room is so nice. Love his bedding and his horse lamp is almost like mine. That is a lot of belts he has earned. I love them displayed like that. I will post my finds tomorrow. I have a new laptop and router, but my desk top is not working. No server found is all it keeps saying. May have to call ATT. Laptop works great so I will do a post from it. I have to take pics and load them and figure all this out.
Thanks for featuring my cloche, Debbie! Lol, you did inspire my color choice and continue to inspire me with your use of color! The green you used on your rooster looks like a lovely color... ;)
Jack's room is very nice...the antique copper boat is awesome!
Sorry I don't have anything to link up right now...we're going on vacation this week, too!
Is that a Griffin shield? Griffin was my father's surname. Nice room, full of warm memories for you, a sense of family for your son. (:
Hey Lady! I'm going on vacay too, on Saturday! Be sure and check out my photos from last years vacation. I love Jacks room! Very mature for his age! He has great taste! Love the quilt,lamp,boat,dog,and the way the belts are done. What can I say, I love it all! I'm glad you very carefully moved the legos stuff though, that could be trouble! Sorry, won't be joining the party this week. I hope you have a wonderful time! Enjoy!
What a wonderful room. Instead of the latest craze he has wonderful antiques that can grow with him. Love it! Enjoy your vacation. I will be linking up some finds from today. That Diann and you have me thinking of lime green for my wood planter!!
Love that Jack likes his 'junk'!! He has the cleanest room for a boy that I have ever seen, but I'll bet mom helped out with that. Love the ships. I also love the garden planters...the colors are awesome!
xoxo
Jane
For a boy that age, his room is very neat and tidy. I like his picks from the antique store...Christine
What a darling room and sooooo neat and clean!!! I love the boat made out of thread, I remember doing some thread art in school!
I'm car-less until we sell mine and get something I can actually drive so I'm stranded for the time being:( I have a Goodwill cherub that I bought months ago so I will link that up over the weekend.
Debbie,
Thanks so much for featuring me this week!!!
I love Jack's "old Man" room. I think it is great that you are passing on an appreciation to him of older items that were once loved by someone and now he is cherishing these treasures!!
Great job, Mom!
Hugs,
Debbie

My hubby loves ships and globes--perhaps I show show off his old-man office, LOL!
He has an old ship that plugs in and lights up that belonged to his grandfather.
I stopped by Walgreen's today to get my meds and I thought of you and your hubby and smiled :)

There's nothing like planting your child's roots deep...
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice comments! I'm excited to see more of your great finds!
I have been meaning to tell you that I love that you love color. I like the "white" rooms but could not live in one. I need color! Jack's treasures are neat. Old ships are fun to hunt for. ♣olive
Debbie, somehow I missed your post popping up in my reader. I am glad that I have you bookmarked, as well & decided to come over & see if I missed anything! Such wonderful things in Jack's room and it is very impressive for him to have a black belt! Quite an accomplishment! Hope you have a fun time on your vacation!
Hi Debbie,
Thanks so much for your nice comments on my turquoise chalkboard! See, you are expanding color horizons all over blog land! And to think that I was a formerly nothing but Heirloom White kinda girl! Hope you have a great vacation, and that you are going somewhere cool! We are leaving for a short camping trip tomorrow night, but I hope to hook up with your linky party before that!
Hi Debbie.. your grandfathers 'old radio' is the exact one my mom had of her fathers... whow, brings back such memories...
linking up to your fun party.

I adore Jack's room. It's so awesome that you got him into thrifting and antiquing at an early age. I go to thrift stores all the time with my younger son who is actually a manager mentor for the physically and mentally challenged at GoodWill. We love a bargain!
wow, my boys' rooms NEVER looked
that neat. i was always stepping on
a lego and screaming my head off
in pain.
i love your son's room and how many
special memories you have displayed
for him.
His room is awesome! How awesome on his martial arts too! Wow, I am very impressed! Love the way you display his belts!
Have a Great Vacation, Debbie!!
Hugs,
Coreen
Such a fun room! Thanks for hosting another fun party!
I have always loved yellow, but after this post I know the brighter the better!
Next time I get a chance to out out treasure hunting I will have to bring home yellow!
Great room Jack.
what a great room! love it! my nephew is big into Legos too and they're all over his room!
This is too cool!! I have 3 boys so I'm gathering ideas lol. You did an amazing job.
Deb,
I love the way his books are arranged! And black belt at 8 had me stunned! Wow.
I love the idea of your Gramp and Jack having this connection!! I am sure it's true, too!
p.s. happy vacationing!
Have a great vacation and lots of fun!!
You are so very inspiring to so many! Love your use of bold colors! They always make me smile and buy spray paint!!
Tell Jack his room ROCKS!! He has so many awesome finds and congrats on his black belt!!
Wendy
What a great boy room, just perfect, and a black belt for an 8 years old is so awesome!
Have a great and relaxing vacation Debbie. Thinking of you!
Hey Deb,

I always love to see what your up to! I love the room! and everything else you paint and put together!
Hey beautiful girl..I've linked up with you today...((hugs))
Really cute room. I think he might be just like his sweet Momma.
Have a great vacation!
Jack's room looks great! I love the boats and wow, to having a black belt. I just got back from a little vacay myself and I went to IKEA for the first time. I hope you have a fun and safe trip! Thanks for hosting this party in between packing.
Great pictures! I just won my first (maybe only) BLOG AWARD. I am to share it with 15 people and I chose you as I really enjoy your blog. Please don't feel you have to participate, however, because as I understand it some bloggers don't like to deal with awards. I felt I needed to try it at least once since someone was kind enough to visit my blog and share with me. See my blog to better understand.
His room is amazing and filled with memories of his grandfather, that's wonderful. Hope your enjoying your weekend, and have a wonderful vacation:)
I love your son's room and that picture made with the copper threads - looked like actual thread. Everything looked wonderful and so adult with little boy touches in his room - even down to your grandfather's radio. Hope you enjoy your vacation and come back ready to help us all be creative in our homes. Smiles.

Hi Debbie, Your sons room looks great. You did a great job on decorating it. And Thank You for hosting the partay! Have a great Sunday....Julian
Jack's room is a timeless, big boy's room. I think it's so refreshing!
What a great son to care about such treasures! My dad had one of the 'weiner dog' thingies. I have asked my mother for it when she decides to let it go.
I love Jack's room! What a bunch of treasures he's got w/out looking too old for a kid to be living there comfortably!! So great!
All your bloggy friends' projects are fab too. Have a great trip!
heather
Found your blog irresistible and grabbed your badge! What a treasure trove of fun!
♥Sharon
Thanks for hosting! And I love your son's old man room! I think having those family pieces of your Grandfather's makes it even more special!
Enjoy your vacation!
Hi Debbie, Love Jack's room, it's perfect for a boy and I think it is so nice to have him involved in choosing things that are going to be in his room. It will teach him so many lessons on the value of collecting things that mean something to him and that speak to him, it's not about the dollar value but the senitmental value of things he has collected himself. So smart of you and his dad, I really believe that kids should have a big say in their rooms. Great picks; Jack, you have awesome taste! I hope you have a great vacation!
Hugz,
Kim
Hi Debbie! Oh, what a wonderful room Jack has! Love his taste of all boyness! It's so clean too! :) How sweet to have some things from Gramps in his room.
Look at how you've influenced so many other bloggers! I know your colorness has rubbed off on so many! You influence millions of us. Yes, you do!! :)
Now have a marvelous vacation and don't forget your camera!
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
What a great boys room!! That ship pic was a major find. And I love the belt display. My hubby is a black belt and has a little home studio in our basement. Maybe I should do something like that with all his coloured belts. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Nice shots of a boys room :)
Have a great day!

I LOVE the copper boat art. I found one just like it, but with string missing. It would have taken too much fixing and cleaning to be worth the price they had it at, but your pictures have me holding up home that I'll find another one just like it one day.
Love Jack's room! Hope y'all have a wonderful time on vacation!
Mary Ellen
I wouldn't want to mess with Jack--with his black belt! Wow!
Happy Blue Monday!
I love that ship! I too would have bought something like that in a heart beat. Great finds. Gorgeous room.
Jack's room is gorgeous! How cool! Thanks for stopping by with your always-so-lovely comments. :) Hope you guys have a fabulous trip to the beach!

Oh! So fun to look at! Love that all the things that are special to him are there for him to see daily. Our son also has a black belt and did wrestling in high school...and both my hubby and him love to watch UFC...so our son loves to ask if I would watch him when he does UFC one day...um...no, thank you! Why couldn't he gotten into less contact-type sports...like swimming, maybe? (He did soccer, lacrosse and some rugby too!)
Blessings & Aloha!
Love your posts!
