Happy Monday, Friends! If you've ever repainted decor and were less than pleased with the results, I can relate and so can my thrice-painted EAT sign. Today's 15 minute fix proves that the third time is a charm...
Happy Monday, Friends! Most of my kitchen decor is pretty consistent year round, but I do like to add a few seasonal accents here and there. As promised, today I'm sharing spring and Easter decor from my vintage kitchen...
Hi there, Friends! Don't you just love to breathe new life into a thrifted find that's seen better days? For today's post, I'll show you how I refreshed some retro canisters that I scored during my thrifting adventures...
Happy Monday, Friends! Today I'm sharing a project that has been on my to-do list for some time. I'm not sure why it kept getting pushed to the back burner--do you have any of those projects? Well, I am happy to say, I finally tackled painting my breakfast table in the kitchen...
Hi there, Friends! I'm sure you've noticed that my vintage kitchen is one of my favorite places to create whimsical vignettes and today I'm sharing some fun accents for Valentine's Day. Maybe you don't usually decorate for Valentine's Day, or aren't a dishaholic like me, but would still love to brighten your kitchen a bit. No problem--the idea is to find new ways touse what you already have! Come on in for a visit...
Greetings thrifty friends! Today I am featuring charming Vintage finds for the kitchen. I adore Vintage lines of all varieties and how cute is this anthropomorphic stitched tea towel?! It is right at home in my kitchen and is already hanging on my refrigerator door.
Greetings Friends! When I was a little girl, I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house. I have fond memories of sitting in her kitchen & drinking what she called "coffee milk". Today we refer to it as a latte and it is still how I prefer my coffee. Another sweet memory from Mo-maw's kitchen was her vanilla wafer layered banana pudding which she served from colorful Pyrex dishes. Still another recollection is riding with her and my Aunt Stella to Purple Heart and the Sand Dollar which were my first thrift store experiences. These trips were made that much more exciting by my Aunt Stella's reckless driving! Let's just say Aunt Stella was not the little old lady you get stuck behind and wish would speed up. More likely, she would be the one to swerve in front of you for a parking spot! Fortunately, I survived these trips unscathed. It wasn't until I had children of my own that I returned to my thrifting roots.
Believer, herb gardener, dishaholic, lover of dark chocolate, Southern girl, and thrift store junkie. I’m passionate about finding beauty in imperfection. Join me as I hunt vintage treasures and transform thrift store finds. Check out my home and garden projects to see how easy it is to create a beautiful home without spending a lot of money!
I adore decorating and gardening but as a single parent have always needed to do both on a budget. Thrifting-- my all inclusive verb for shopping resale shops, thrift stores, estate and yard sales is not just my hobby but rather a lifestyle. It supports my habit of collecting Vintage dishes and Pyrex and over the years has proven invaluable for decorating and re-decorating. I am passionate about transforming and repurposing cast away furniture and love furnishing my home with pieces that have their own history. It has saved me more pennies than I can count and is the perfect solution to almost any dilemma. Your child comes home from school and informs you that he must dress like his favorite super hero TOMORROW? Your daughter can only wear modest knee length skirts to respect the local culture on her upcoming mission trip? Volunteer to host the next ladies event but then realize you don't own enough matching glasses? The answer to these questions and so many more: THRIFTING! Last, but certainly not least--thrifting is all about re-cycling, re-imagining and re-creating; the best way to shop green!
