The Prop Closest

We have wonderful friends of ours, a food stylist and prop stylist (power couple, right?). They live down the street from us in the city and upstate, lucky us! We recently got together with them for a fabulous dinner in their lovely city brownstone, they’re also doing a big “edit” and need to get rid […]

Finished Porch

I’m finally finished! The painting, the staining, the sweat, the tears! It’s complete, our porch is finally finished! With the exception of lighting being installed, but don’t tell anyone. If you’ve been reading our blog from the beginning, the porch floors were finished in November. With the crazy winter we had I wasn’t able to […]

Overdyed Rug

In case you haven’t noticed the overdyed rug trend is huge right now! I see them at the very high-end to the moderately priced option, of course the ones I fall in love with are way out of my budget! If you google “overdyed rug tutorial” you’ll find some interesting tips but not many. I […]

Bathroom Sideboard

I spotted this Sideboard table at a local garage sale in town. This treasure was rescued from an abandoned farmhouse down the road, it’s solid and in perfect condition. I actually loved it in “as is” condition but the green didn’t work for the bathroom downstairs. This is a very simple restoration project that I […]

Rooster Lamp

I found this gorgeous antique rooster lamp on ebay that was imported from France. Have I mentioned I love anything French County? I purchased them as a pair of and found this […]

Vintage Sewing Stool

I scored this sewing stool at a local garage sale last summer for $20! It sat around for a few months but I finally found time to bring it back to life. I reupholstered it using vintage grainsack fabric from etsy.com and used Miss Mustard Seed’s exclusive milk paint for the legs. Not sure where […]

Side Table

I found this simple accent table on Joss and Main (my latest online retail obsession) for a bargain price of $75. It served as a great blank canvas for me to beat up a little. I decided to distress it with some lovely Milk Paint, thanks to my favorite DIY gal Miss Mustard Seed.

Vintage Finds

Nothing stops me from antique shopping. Look what I found during our trip to CA last week, vintage grainsack (obsessed), milk glass rooster, small transferware plate and a fabulous metal tray. The shopping never ends!

Happy Friday!

Is anyone else over this Polar Vortex the east coast has been hit with for the past month!? Spring is just 54 short days away but until then here is something to brighten up your day. My Milk Glass collection is quickly growing, these vases are so beautiful, come in many shapes and sizes and […]
