Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?…Vintage mirrors, mirrors with beautiful details, character and charm, of course! For those of you that have been following along for a while, you know that I LOVE mirrors! I try not to discriminate against new mirrors, but I much prefer that good, old vintage charm. Just about a year ago, I hung this mirror gallery wall… But soon after, I decided to build a faux fireplace, and hang the mirrors there…. Which I have loved to decorate throughout the seasons. But then, I found a new mirror. A big grand mirror, perfect to adorn my faux fireplace mantel.…

Top Shelf Clearance Challenge ~ May
Happy Monday, lovely friends!! I hope y’all had a lovely Mother’s Day weekend! I am so excited for our monthly clearance challenge! Per usual, I waited until the very last minute to go out and search for some clearance items for this challenge. I was able to find a few things from Michael’s and Hobby Lobby. From Michael’s, I found a little unfinished wooden drawer thing, and a darling terra-cotta pot. I love terra-cotta pots!The pot was originally $12, but it was 60% off, with an additional 20% off coupon, making it a little less than $4. And the little drawers were originally $10, but because it was missing three…

Happy Thursday, my friends!! I have been so super busy the past few weeks. But, one thing is for certain, I can hardly wait to get my hands dirty, and get working in my flower beds. It’s always so exciting to have beautiful flowers blooming around my yard. This is my favorite time of the year!! I just brought in the last of my spring bulb flowers.

Yay for flower season!!! A few of my…

How to easily create a chippy, vintage looking, finish on your painted furniture
Happy Thursday, friends!! It has been such a busy week, with very little time to work on projects. But, I did manage to quickly give a piece of furniture, that I have in my kitchen, a new and very chippy look. Her she is pre chippiness…It is a vintage piece, so having a chippy finish only makes sense, right? I started by applying this stripper….I used a chemical stripper because I feel like it works so much better for this technique. I have tried to used the “citra-strip” but it didn’t work at all the same. As I started to scrap the first layer of white paint off, I found…
