For the love of crates and baskets
Hi friends!!! Happy Saturday! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far! Today, I’m so excited to be joining a group of bloggers for a fun blog hop, hosted by the very sweet and talented Cindy of County Road 407. Today’s blog hop is all about baskets and crates, and y’all know how much I love old baskets, crates, bins, buckets, etc. I love to fill them with flowers, pillows, blankets, books, etc. When placing fresh flowers in a basket, crate, bucket, etc, start by finding some sort of container/vase to hold water for the flowers. For this antique crate/box, I used four glass cylinders to hold the water.…

French Vintage Friday – vintage tureen
Happy Friday, friends! I hope your week was wonderful! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing something that I’ve had for a few years, it was actually one of my first vintage treasures, this lovely Johnson Brothers tureen. I added some fresh flowers to it, for a little added happiness inside my ironstone cabinet. I used “wet” flower foam for the floral arrangement. It was actually the first time that I’ve ever used flower foam, and I LOVED it!! I highly recommend using it! Flower foam comes in “wet” and “dry”. “Wet” is for fresh flowers, “dry” is for faux flowers. It holds the stems perfectly! It was a must…

DIY vintage inspired step stool
Happy Thursday, friends!! Can you believe that it is already July!! I love the summer months!! Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for a little step stool to complete my little stack in the kitchen. I haven’t been able to find anything, so I decided to quickly build one. I started with a few pieces of scrap wood that I had out in my garage. I cut everything down to size, and cut (using a jig saw) a “V” out of the side pieces. You can make your stool any size that works for your space. I knew that I wanted mine to be in the middle of the two…

How to easily create chippy/crackle paint
Happy Monday, friends!! How was your weekend? Over the weekend, I worked on a few little projects. One of them being, this sweet little cabinet… I decided that I wanted it to be white and chippy, are you surprised?!! Using glue and white paint, I gave this sweet little cabinet a new look. I started by brushing some Elmer’s glue on the cabinet. In some areas I brushed the glue on thicker, and other areas got a thinner layer, this helps the cracks to vary in size, making it look more authentic. I left it in the sun to dry for just two or three minutes, before painting. You want…

DIY Angel Vine Topiary
Happy Thursday, friends!! It’s been a minute since I last posted. I missed you all! My husband was out of town last week, and I found it hard to find a single moment to create new content and blog, but he’s home now, so it’s time to get my creativity on!! I created a fun little topiary in less than 15 minutes and for less than $15! I planted an angel vine (bought from Trader Joe’s) into an ironstone tureen. There aren’t any drainage holes in the tureen, so I filled the bottom with small rocks before planting the vine in it. I used two landscape pins to secure a…
