Do you have a favorite vase…perfect for filling with fresh cut blooms? I don’t really have one favorite. I really love using all sorts of vintage items as vases for flowers around the house. Ironstone pitchers or bowls make pretty vases. Even vintage baskets are a beautiful way to display fresh cut blooms right […]

Welcome to another Repurpose Design Series Reveal Day! I decided not to purchase anything at all for this week’s transformation. So, I headed to the barn and found some reclaimed wood that we got from an old building on family land. My husband helped me turn it into a cross. I painted it in […]

Remember our chippy blue cabinet? When we bought it a few years ago, I always planned on painting the inside…and never got around to it, until last week 🙂 Here’s what it looked like before: With one coat of Annie Sloan in pure white, it’s much lighter & brighter. I still prefer the doors plain. […]

Ironstone…well, it just speaks for itself. Beautiful, chippy, and crazed. Too bad I don’t find ironstone easily around here. I’m thankful […]

Before I plant this hydrangea, I wanted to enjoy it inside for a few days. Aren’t hydrangeas the prettiest flower? My favorite color is purple. Or, maybe it’s white. Well, I guess I like hydrangeas in every color. Have I ever shown you this view from our kitchen? It’s looking into the dining room. You […]

Don’t you just love a great flea market? We first started shopping at Canton Trade Days in Texas around 2008. Canton is our favorite flea market…and where we’ve found the majority of the vintage pieces in our home. These little vintage water wheel buckets came from Canton…I think it was in 2010. The dealer sold […]
