My Visit to The Old Lucketts Store-Part Two

October 25, 2019 By Meegan Leave a Comment

After sifting through at least 300 pictures, I am thrilled to share My Visit to The Old Lucketts Store-Part Two. It is such a fun place to visit when you are in Virginia. It isn’t far from Washington, DC. Well, probably an hour and a half-ish away. And if you LOVE vintage style, like I do, you don’t want to miss out.

If you would like to see Part One, visit here.

I am actually going to make this series into to 4 or 5 parts. Only because I have so much to share.

My Visit To The Old Lucketts Store-Part One

October 9, 2019 By Meegan 1 Comment

I may have mentioned that we have family that lives in Virginia. I have been blessed enough to have visited them several times, now. I love seeing the grand-babies and exploring while I am there. Everything from historical monuments, gardens, cemeteries, plus lots of antique stores and beautiful restaurants.

Shortly after I started my blog, I had heard about The Old Lucketts Store. But I NEVER thought I would have a chance to visit. Let alone go here more than once in one trip to Virginia. BUT, I did the last few weeks and I am excited to share with you My Visit To The Old Lucketts Store-Part One.

 

Yes, part one, because there is SO much to see. I literally could spend hours upon hours there. And I think you could, too.

DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas

May 15, 2019 By Meegan 6 Comments

The temperature is warming up and I am spending most of my days poolside. You know how I love to be outside and feel the sun rays on my face. It is really nice to be in our new home. Things are coming together and I am enjoying the decorating process. I am also enjoying the fact that we have a REAL porch. We did have a tiny balcony before. I tried to turn it into an inviting space. But, my vision never really came to fruition. I had visions of what I wanted here even before we moved in. Let me share some of my DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas for our new home.

 

 

These DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas can be used on tiny porches and large decks alike.

That is EXACTLY why I am tidying up our back porch and showing you my DIY projects for this space…
