If you hopped over after visiting Libbie from A Life Unfolding, welcome! Today I'll show you how I blend my timeworn vintage decor with newer finds. When I think of "new," I include fresh seasonal accents, recently crafted handmade or upcycled decor, and new-to-me thrifted or clearance bargains.

Since my holiday tour began in the living room, I thought we'd start in the kitchen today. You may remember this area of my kitchen from last year's spring tour. It's one of my favorite spaces to highlight and to my delight, it's being featured in the May issue of Country Sampler! Thank you, Country Sampler! 

Below is a less-photographed view of my kitchen. While I'm fond of my vintage collections and style, the layout of my small kitchen makes it challenging to photograph. (Picture me alternately climbing onto a step-stool and backing into doors and walls.😉) You can find my easy lighting upgrade here, and see my 15 minute EAT sign upcycle here

  19. It was WONDERFUL seeing your kitchen in a full-view shot, Cecilia! And even some bigger shots of your living room and dining area! Everything looks so nice. I can relate to the 'close-quarters' for camera shots. I have found my 10-20mm lens helps a GREAT deal, and it's not to pricey, at all! ;-) Pinned!

  20. Such a lovely Spring home, Cecilia!! I adore all of your milk glass and the vintage transfer plates on the wall. Everything looks so cohesive together. Pinned!
