It's the most wonderful time of the year... and once again I'm sharing a little glimpse into our home. Feast your eyes on an eclectic and vintage mini holiday tour. This little post may make your head spin... but my house was clean so I couldn't help taking lots of photos of all the pretty things. We are hosting a holiday party for my husband's family this year, so I wanted our home to be extra festive! One thing I tried to do this season was only put out the holiday decorations that I truly … [Read more...] about Eclectic & Vintage Mini Holiday Home Tour

DIY Fresh Baked Pie Window Sign
I have to admit, when I first saw the infamous "fresh baked pie" window sign (from World Market) at my mom's house, I was sure that she picked it up at a local craft shop. It was super adorable, slightly distressed and looked like DIY project that had been repurposed into a sign. But I was so wrong! I really do love that sign and now I see it in so many homes via Pinterest. I decided that it was something I could create my own DIY Fresh Baked Pie Window Sign with one of our rescued … [Read more...] about DIY Fresh Baked Pie Window Sign
Holiday Trimmings: Vintage Toy Trucks
Hello December! Instead of our usual monthly vintage variety show post, I'm going to share a little project that incorporates our curated vintage toy trucks into our holiday home decor. I remember watching Babes in Toyland on TV as a kid (of course, I always liked the 1960s version with Annette Funicello better than the 80s version). My favorite scene was when they g0t to drive around in those little battery powered cars. I always wished I had one of my own! Who didn't, right?!? Well, … [Read more...] about Holiday Trimmings: Vintage Toy Trucks
Furniture Flip: A handsome painted chest
Today I'd like to introduce you to Kellie with Design Asylum and Velvet Finishes- one of our new friends from the Haven Conference we attended this summer where we meet up with other DIY-ers, home decor bloggers, interior designers and more! We were talking with Kellie about our love for furniture painting when she casually mentioned that she developed her own special paint recipe - what the what?!? That's right, she's a super cool designer who also decided that none of the paints she was … [Read more...] about Furniture Flip: A handsome painted chest
Craft Show Prep with My HomeRight Paint Sprayer
The Hobnob Market is now just a week away. From June to November we spend most of our free time curating vintage goods, flipping furniture and repurposing projects to sell at this vintage and handmade market. We usually paint around two dozen pieces of furniture for this market. And while I love transforming an old desk or table with a new coat of paint, it's a total timesuck. I have finally found a way to be more productive with less effort {slow clap}. No, really - I'm not kidding. This … [Read more...] about Craft Show Prep with My HomeRight Paint Sprayer
October Finds
It's almost time to say goodbye to October. I don't know if it has to do with the weather being so dry here in Indiana, but this has been one of the prettiest fall seasons in recent memory. The weather has also been fairly warm and we were able to take advantage of it at the thrifty places we visited this month! While we love auctions, we don't always have a full day to dedicate to them. However, during our fall break, Corey found a little time to waste and came up with some unique treasures! … [Read more...] about October Finds
