Spring is in the air ~ spring table ideas
Happy Thursday, lovelies!! I just received the sweetest salt and pepper shakers in the mail from Arthur Court , so naturally I put together a little spring-y centerpiece for my table. I could hardly wait to display this little cutie! Isn’t this the sweetest salt and pepper shaker set that you’ve ever seen? It was quite a hit at the dinner table tonight! The only down side, it is so cute that my youngest couldn’t keep his little hands off of it. He kept asking everyone to pass him salt and pepper, he’s such a funny boy! I can’t wait to use this Bunny salt & pepper hanging set on…

Transformed ~ updating furniture
Hi friends!! I hope you are having a lovely weekend! I’ve spent a lot of this weekend out in the garage, doing what I love to do…transform furniture!! I want to show y’all how easy it is to take a piece of outdated furniture and transform it into something that you once again love! Here is the before, not really my style, but I love the shape! I took the the glass out of the doors, and replaced the mirror in the back with vertical tongue and groove paneling. I painted the cabinet, inside and out, with Rustoleum Chalked spray paint, in the color linen white. SOURCE I’m loving this…

French Vintage Friday ~ vintage finger bowls
Happy Friday, friends!! Today, for French Vintage Friday, Im sharing these sweet little bowls that I came across last summer. To me, they almost looked like tea cups without handles. But, I wanted to know more, so I asked my mom what she thought they would be used for. She is always my go-to for information about antiques. She LOVES antiques and knows so much about them. If you could see her collections, you’d die. They’re amazing!! Anyway, she told me that they are finger bowls. What is a finger bowl? It is little a bowl that that they used back in the day. They would be filled with warm…

bathroom refresh ~ the walls
Happy Thursday, sweet friends!!! I’ve been working on my boys’ bathroom for what seems like months, in reality, it’s only been a few weeks. I keep starting, but can’t seem to finish, because I get distracted with other projects. I am determined to get this space completely done by the end of this week! Today, I want to show y’all what I have done on the walls, skinny lap and simple panels… The skinny lap ended up being less than $15! I only used five 2x4s, cut (using a table saw) into 1/4in strips. I used nickels to space each board. I finished it off with a three inch strip…

Happy Sunday!! Can you believe that it’s already March!?!! Spring will soon be here! I’m so excited! Today, I have put together a super quick and easy spring table centerpiece.

Gold Shelf Brackets For Under $10
Happy Tuesday, friends!! I always get so many questions about the brackets that I have used on the shelves in my kitchen, so I thought I’d show you all just how easy they were to create! When I decided to add open shelves in my kitchen, the first thing that I did was scour the internet for the perfect shelf brackets. I really wanted gold or brass. Everything that I loved, cost more than I wanted to pay. Isn’t that always the case?!! But I wasn’t about to stress about it, because I can almost always find a way to recreate what I want, for a fraction of the price!…

Spring Flings & Easter Things
Happy Sunday, lovelies!! While I am anxiously awaiting Spring, I have started to sprinkle a little spring happiness around my house. Starting with this little area in my family room… As many of you know, I am constantly looking for furniture to buy and refinish. It’s something that I love to do! Plus it gives me the opportunity to constantly change things up, which I also love to do! Recently, while scrolling through the Marketplace, I came across an ad for a free chair! FREE! I thought I would surely reupholster this, but as I was taking the covers off of the cushions, I realized that everything was still in…

I wish I could say that I have been collecting vintage books for a long time, but the truth is, I’ve only been collecting for a few years now. I wish I would have started sooner!
