A few weekends ago, I was lucky enough to be able to haul some new pieces of furniture home. One of the dressers was perfect for a new brand of paint my parents bought me to try out this past Christmas. Since most of my customers prefer shades of sea glass, I decided to give it a go. Here are the details of how the Maison Blanche Painted Dresser came together.
This past weekend I was listening to the weather report. The estimated temperature was a balmy 96 degrees. If that wasn’t hot enough the weatherman added one last note, “It’s going to feel like 105 degrees.” As soon as I heard the report, I got out my vintage Pyrex tea pitcher and decided to make sweet peppermint sun tea.
The same day my mom and I worked to complete the neutral inspired chair transformation for Loblolly Manor, we started working on a set of chairs for one of my sisters. She bought these chairs at a recent yard sale for a whopping $10 and while I was at her house a few weeks ago she asked me to give them a coastal inspired makeover.
One of my favorite features of the bedroom is the headboard we made from an old mantel. The mantel was a steal at $10. This is how we made my mantel to headboard dream a reality.
We’ve heard it said so many times shop your house first to give your spaces a fresh look. I wasn’t sure that was always possible but in the past few weeks, I’ve been completely amazed at the “free” transformation. This bathroom makeover is no exception.
We’re entering into a busy tourist season at The Pickers Market and this Duck Egg painted entry table will fit perfectly in my coastal inspired booth.
Have you ever been in a thrift store, an old barn or even a yard sale and completely fallen in love with a dresser? Then you pull out the drawers and this obnoxious odor hovers just under the tip of your nose. Here are 7 tips to help remove smelly odors from old dresser drawers.
I’m in the midst freshening up some of my favorite spaces at home. I still love the direction everything is headed with warm neutrals and varying shades of white. I recently had the opportunity to review a Weatherwood stain called Reclamation so we built a cabinet to hold my growing ironstone collection.
When I was creating a summer inspired front porch, I kept thinking about World War II. Something about the way everyone banded together for a common cause makes me feel really blessed. I know there were overwhelming sacrifices. Victory gardens, flour sacks, simple ticking, using things I already had at home and strengthening friendships became my inspiration.
After a spring season where the dining room table was set with pastels, eggs and bunny plates, I’m ready for my summer inspired dining space to feel relaxed and uncluttered.
While I was changing out spring décor for summer décor in the living room, I started thinking about how to create an easy summer tablescape in the kitchen. I’m in love with the cabin inspired summer mantle so I wanted to play off that inspiration with an easy summer tablescape.
Every year, my parents would let us go to sleep away camp. I never forgot those carefree days of hiking, horseback riding, crafting and swimming in the lake. These fun filled memories became the motivation for the cabin inspired summer mantel.
