Kitchen Designs Inspired by 2016 Pantone Colors of the Year
Have you seen the 2016 Pantone colors of the year? I don't know about you, but they scream vintage nostalgia to me! I couldn't really get my creative juices flowing around last year's Marsala color. But this year... I'm totally on it! Admittedly, pastels can be difficult incorporate into your home decor - outside of a nursery or kids room. And while I have seen very fresh uses of these two colors on Pinterest recently, I am excited to find ways to assimilate some vintage modern glam as … [Read more...] about Kitchen Designs Inspired by 2016 Pantone Colors of the Year
DIY Holiday Market Display with Ryobi Tools

DIY Chevron Stairs
From the moment I spied with my little eye this pin on chevron stairs, I was in love. It's no secret how much I adore everything chevron.

Numbers, numbers, painted numbers.
Okay, so you could say I'm a bit obsessed with numbers right now. I'm seeing all kinds of numbered items on Pinterest, of course. It's a really easy way to update something that's already painted. I think it adds a bit of vintage spirit to your home - and in my case, both indoors and out! My mom recently purchased a Silhouette Cameo machine for me which makes it super easy to design a cool number stencil in any font I choose. I absolutely love everything about typography design and this sort … [Read more...] about Numbers, numbers, painted numbers.
Recent Vintage Finds
I'm a bargain shopper. I dig sales. I cannot pay full price for anything. Thus, I love it when I find something old that I think is a good deal - even in an antique store. I prefer to scavenge these type of things at auctions where the prices are usually rock bottom when dealers aren't around, but I think these two pieces are nothing short of a steal! Found this great sign and negotiated an additional $10 off... I loved the green color (sorry, hard to really see in my instagram pic) and … [Read more...] about Recent Vintage Finds
