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…

A bucket full of seasonal flowers
Hi friends!! How are you all? The past few months have been a real struggle for me, and I’m sure it has been hard for so many of you too. Recently I decided to push myself to add a little extra happiness into my everyday living, whether it be lighting a favorite candle, working in my yard, running through the sprinklers with my littles, going on a bike ride, arranging flowers, etc. Taking the time to find a little extra happiness to intentionally bring into my day has been so beneficial to my soul. This bucket of viburnum snowballs, fresh from my garden, brings me so much happiness, and brings…

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…

French Vintage Friday – my favorite antique table
Happy Friday, y’all!!! I hope y’all are healthy and happy! With the world being turned upside down right now, it’s been hard to figure out what to post, how often to post, etc. Trust me, I have been busy around my house, and have lots to share. It’s just so hard to figure all of this out! Anyhow, today, I’m sharing one of my favorite pieces of furniture, my entry table. One time while my husband and I were visiting his parents, in WV, we stopped in at a little antique store. That’s when I fell in love with this table. It was love at first sight!! The only problem…

French Vintage Friday ~ vintage recipes
Happy Good Friday, sweet friends!! Can you believe that Easter is just a couple days away! Hopefully it will be a lovely day for everyone, even though it will look quite a bit different for most of us this year. Today, for French Vintage Friday, im sharing something that I love and always get a lot of questions about, the vintage recipes that I have framed in my kitchen. I wish that I could say that these darling, hand written recipes came from a family member, but they didn’t. I found them inside an antique cookbook that I once bought. My grandma was an amazing cook, with lots of recipes,…
