I have many things on my favorite list. It seems like the list keeps growing. I already have a fondness for old chippy tables. In case you did not already know that. But I also LOVE this old barn door of mine. It has come along way and changes quite often. I came across this old vintage mirror. It was love at first site! I love the curved shape and the old wavy glass. Some chips and a bit of crazing it seems perfect for this farmhouse kitchen. I get lots of questions about where I found  this French bottle rack. I found mine on Maison decor you can find that shop HERE Although currently she does not have any in stock. You can also find them at decor steals HERE WHEN they have them featured for the day. If you sign up through email they ... View Post

Yesterday was an amazing day! I am sure you remember I mentioned  Jennifer Rizzo organized a Midwest meet up. Yesterday was the day! We met at Room 363  a beautiful shop owned by Mark Norkaitis. We ate a light breakfast and mingled. Shopped a bit....had lunch..... met at paper source for a card craft. Thank you Sharon Rexford for organizing that! Wish I had taken better photos. The room was a bit tight and hard to shoot photos. I was thrilled to have met some many other bloggers. But I have to admit there were two ladies I was really excited to finally meet.

I  painted the table with  Annie Sloan French linen. A stripe was added using TAPE  and  deco art paint in uniform blue. No ruler was used to make sure the tape was straight  I  just eyeballed it I did not want it to look perfect. I added a French graphic from the graphic fairy using the citra solv technique. Before waxing it I sprayed a clear sealer to prevent the graphic from smearing ... View Post

I have been spending much of my time getting ready for the Vintage Market . My creative space aka studio looks like a tornado hit it. And no I won't be sharing any photos. I will be sharing some of my finished pieces soon. But today I thought I would share my cloche in my dining room. First let me say I cannot believe Easter is three weeks away. Normally I host Easter dinner but this year with the market I have no time to prepare for a dinner. I still want to honor Easter. Even though I don't have lots of Easter decor I prefer to keep it neutral for spring. I wanted to share this. I decided to use that same birdcage I had on my mantle for my dining room table. Those sweet little lambs are finds I bought many years ago. I added that pretty rosary ... View Post
