French Vintage Friday – old blue jars
Happy Friday, friends!! Here in the states, it’s Memorial Day weekend! In honor of Memorial Day, I put together a patriotic mantel display, using antique/vintage blue jars and flowers from my garden. I got these beauties, last year at an auction, for just $5 for the set! Some are more on the vintage side, and some are antique. I especially love the old jars with air bubbles in the glass!  For my mantel, I simply put some viburnum “snowballs” in the jars, with flags. Here’s a little tip, if you want to keep your viburnum clippings lasting longer, dip the ends of the cut stems into alum, before placing…

French Vintage Friday ~ chippy antique bench
Happy Friday, friends!! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing this darling, chippy bench back. I adore the chippy paint!!! My sister had an antique bench in her back yard that she was going to get rid of. As we looked at it, we had an idea…she would take the seat part of the bench and use it as a coffee table in her living room, and I would take the back. I had the perfect place in mind! I’m completely loving it!!! I have wanted to put something there for awhile now, but didn’t know exactly what, until now. It’s always exciting to think outside of the box, and…

The art of flowers
Happy Thursday, friends!!! I’m so excited because today’s post is all about flowers! I absolutely adore fresh flowers, and love to have them around my house always and always! Today, I’m going to show you two arrangements that I made. Both are completely my style, and yet they are so very different from each other. First, a vintage basket full of one single type of bloom, Viburnum, also known as snowballs, fresh from my garden. I love arranging fresh blooms in containers that aren’t necessarily made for flower arranging, such as baskets, buckets, boxes, crates, etc. Gather your fresh blooms, a container, and some sort of vase/container that can hold…

Quarantine upcycling challenge – from bunk beds to day bed
Happy Monday, friends!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend, celebrating all the women in your lives! Today, I’m so excited to be joining some friends for a fun challenge! While it’s been kinda tricky for everyone to get out to gather supplies for new projects, we decided to challenge ourselves and create something using only things that we had on hand. I decided to turn these bunk beds…. Into a daybed…. I’ve been wanting to find a daybed for this room for a while now, and then it hit me…I could make one! I took the beds apart, then cut the inner legs off both the…

Using vintage books in your everyday decor
Hi friends!!! I’m so excited to be joining some very talented ladies today for a fun blog hop, all about vintage books, hosted by the very sweet Cindy from County Road 407. When decorating, there are two things that I almost always add to a space, fresh flowers/greenery and vintage books. Those are my go-to staples of decor. I absolutely adore old books! Their charm and character gives me all the feels! I was planning on sharing a few different areas in my home, in which I have used vintage books to decorate. Then yesterday, on a whim, I decided to clean and refresh my living room. And, turns out,…

French Vintage Friday – vintage world globes
Happy Friday! Today is May 8th, one of my favorite days of the year! My husband and I went on our very first date on May 8, 2002. He picked me up around 8 and we went to see Spider Man. It wasn’t too long after that, that I knew he was the one that I was going to marry. Fast forward, exactly four years later, May 8th 2006, at 8:06pm my oldest son was born. He was three and a half weeks early, and perfect as can be, a healthy 7lbs 4 ounces. It seems like just yesterday my husband and I were going on our first date, and…

bathroom refresh ~ the details
Hi, friends!!! I hope you are all doing well! Today, I’m so excited to share with y’all the refresh that I did in my boys’ bathroom. If you don’t remember, I’ll refresh your memory a little with this “before” picture…. I started by adding thin lap and trim to the walls. Click HERE for the full tutorial on the wall treatment. After everything was painted, I hung a new light fixture. I had to pick a light fixture that would cover this horrendous hole that the builders left behind the original light fixture. I could have always patched the hole, but I like to take the easier road sometimes. I…
