Oh my what a week.Yes I am happy to have a new computer. But it is a different operating system than we had before.Windows8 hmmmm not liking it at all so far. You know how it is learning something new and unfamiliar. It can be very frustrating to say the least. Okay.....deep breath...... Before my computer crashed I took a field trip to one of my favorite places to find really cool vintage items. I always enjoy visiting the owner Teresa Wendt. This is my favorite booths,she always has lots of great chippy pieces! Many of my recent chippy finds have come from her booth. The great thing about this shop is it is so eclectic....like I am! It has a little bit shabby chic, and primitive too! Isn't this piece amazing! I just love the ... View Post

One of my recent outings I came across this chippy green primitive ladder. Can you believe I actually saw this weeks ago but I passed it up! Well that was before I brought my door home. When I first spotted it I had no idea where to put it. But after I placed this door here I hated seeing my light switch. This ladder is petite and could be used anywhere,but this is the perfect spot in my house. I love the color and chippy patina. You can see I added pedestals for my pumpkins.One is a cake plate and the other is a candle stand. Oh so much better and I don't have to see my ugly light switch. Okay I know I am not the only one that covers up light switches and outlets....right! Because I love the chippy patina and I did not want to cover it up I only added ... View Post

A recent find prompted  a change in the living room. I am sure you remember that I originally had my vintage wood baking rack in my kitchen. But after I found this door I knew I would have to move the vintage rack. You know how it is....you find something and in your mind you know the perfect spot for a new found treasure. At first I added the baking rack  to my dining room but it just did not look right with the pieces I already had in that room. Next stop was the living room. As soon as I put this rack in the living room it fit perfectly with the style and decor I have in this room. It actually looks better in here than my kitchen! It has a little bit of a farmhouse  industrial feel to it.   And since I moved it I also had to change what I ... View Post
