vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
If you have been following me for any length of time, you know I like thrifting and vintage pieces. I decided to combine the two on my open shelves in our kitchen. I created my own Vintage Style Open Shelves with a few things by shopping my home.

After a few tries of moving and switching things around, I came up with something I am happy with.
There are those times when you have a vision of what you think your home should look like. It’s in your head, but you aren’t sure if you can actually make it happen.
I didn’t move into our small condo thinking, “We need a breakfast nook.” I didn’t know what to do with this space-at all. I knew it wasn’t big enough for a large table and yet we still needed a place to eat. The bar is too high for stools, unless we wanted our dinner plates at shoulders height. Boo-that didn’t sound comfy…
Well hello everyone! It is a cold winter day and I got to thinking about how I am going to be taking down my Christmas decorations in the near future. I won’t rush it, BUT, it is inevitable, right? I gathered some Winter Pine Cone Projects from my blog files and from some of my blogging friends that I thought you might like.
Most of them are SUPER simple and using your own creativity makes it even that much better, right?
