vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I have been (once again) moving our furniture and accessories around. And it got me thinking…
How To Add a Cottage Look the easy way.
Yay! I’ve got the Monday Blues and I am excited to show you a few simple ways to How To Add a Cottage Look in a few EASY ways for any home.
First of all, it just takes ONE step to get you started.
Creating a Statement Piece. What does that even mean? To me, it means creating a place in your home that will add interest and reflect your personality.
Gathering the same kind of objects in one place looks like a collection, rather that having them dispersed all around your home, on book shelves, a mantel, or even in a bedroom.
You don’t have to have the most expensive paint to paint your furniture. BUT, you can decoupage, stencil it, add graphics, use craft paint and make your own homemade chalky paint. It’s all up to your own creativity.
You have probably heard me mention my trip to SNAP. It is a HUGE blog conference held every Spring. This past Spring, I WON a ticket to SNAP! I know! It was really a blessing to attend. One of the cool and exciting things about SNAP besides the incredible classes, sponsors, hosts, parties, and roommates is the fact that you also can go on a Thrift Store Field Trip at SNAP.
And was it ever amazing. From meeting new friends, seeing incredible pieces of vintage items, we were guided on the trip by Mandi from Vintage Revivals and Brooke from All Things Thrifty. They are like celebs in the DIY, crafting, thrifting blog world.
Our first stop was with George. He owned ACRES of salvaged, used, worn antiques. I wasn’t in his garage very long before I spotted this:
Oh my goodness…
