Welcome to Fabulous Furniture Friday Feature! Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to Stephanie, owner, Caledonia Vintage Marketplace. Take it away Stephanie! I started looking into getting an antique booth about 8 years ago. I found a shop that was 40 minutes away that had a huge amount of foot traffic and a large following. I wanted something to do to express my creativity as I was feeling a little stifled as an ex-professional artist-now stay-at-home mom. I researched vintage design trends and found what I thought was my idea and expression of shabby chic. (Totally different from how I would describe that design trend today! ) I hunted, collected, and gathered for months until I got my small booth. I did pretty well for a new comer and ... View Post
Chippy Blue And Vintage Green
Let's talk about Chippy Blue and Vintage Green. As you know those are two of the colors in my signature paint line. Lately I have had a few questioning the difference between the two colors. When I created this paint line I wanted really soft muted pastel colors. Chippy Blue represented my love of chippy paint, and those amazing old vintage blue pieces we find at the flea markets. As for Vintage Green, besides finding those old vintage green pieces at a flea market. My inspiration for Vintage Green was also an old chippy piece I already had. So today I thought I would share a project with these two colors side by side. I've had this little bench for several years, and since going through and purging I stumbled upon it once again. Yes it was hidden in a sea of...stuff. I ... View Post

Projects Purging And Ramblings
Have you ever been ready to start a project, only to have a detour? Yes this post is all about projects, purging and ramblings. Mostly those detours are when you are searching for products or piece for your project. And let me tell you I am not patient went it comes to waiting. Wow that doesn't sound nice does it. But it's reality, and I am keeping it real. Once I get an idea in my head, I am ready to start. But it doesn't always work out that way. And there are times that the idea that I had in mind doesn't go as planned. Yeah I have many of those projects that never really make it on my blog, and I don't want to share them. Not because I am embarrassed, well I guess I'm sort of embarrassed. So where am I going with all of this rambling? I guess I need to share what's been ... View Post
How To Paint Roses, Birds And Leaves
I am no painting artist, I mean I am an artist. But I wouldn't call myself a canvas artist by any means. A few of my favorite artists are Cindy Austin from My Fractured Fairytale, Cindy Ellis, Christie Repasy, and Rebecca Nelson from A Gathering Of Thoughts, Gee Singh-Newbanks. These women can paint roses and just about anything like nobody's business. But today I thought I would teach you how to paint roses, birds and leaves. Now all of those amazing and talented women that I listed above would probably laugh hysterically if they knew I was teaching how to paint. But here it goes anyway. To paint a rose, or how I paint a rose it's very easy. First I take a lighter color, usually white or ivory and squeeze a little on a paper plate. Today I am just adding it right on top of my ...

Welcome Home Summer Tour Balsam Hill
I am thrilled to be a part of the Welcome Home Summer tour with Balsam Hill, myself along with 24 other blogs. Today I wanted to share my reveal of my porch. Well, it's sort of a reveal, I am still waiting on curtains I ordered so it's not a full reveal just yet. But you can still see the transformation. Let's look at a before photo first. That photo was taken last summer, before I painted the floors or did any real decorating. I was told the wood deck floor needed to fully dry out before painting it, so I waited and waited. Until this year :-) And here is my screened in porch this year. As you can see I added a pop of color in this room with my chairs,that shell art and these new floral chairs cushions. (And if my curtains were here, those are turquoise, I am so bummed they ... View Post
