vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Today, I wanted to show you how you can have a simple Mother’s Day Tea for the Moms in your life. You don’t have to go to a lot of work or preparation. Make it simple and enjoy the time with your Mom-because, really that is what it is all about, right?
After Easter was over, I decided to change my shelves. I like to use them a focal point. They are one of the first things you see as you walk in in our home. So it is fun to change them up and move things around. This time was no exception. I am calling these my vintage shelves because the items look vintage. They may not really be vintage. But, it works for me. (hehe)
Actually a lot of these things are either from Hobby Lobby or the thrift store. Score!!
Would you like to tour my vintage shelves?? Alrighty then, let’s get going!!
They are filled with things I love.
On the top you will find a finial that I purchased at HL. Gotta love HL!! I just love the colors and the aged, vintage look. The candlesticks are both thrift finds that I painted with a flat white paint.
The large frame is usually hanging in the TV Room (which is now an office, a reveal on that coming soon!!) The stenciled fleur de lis is a project I hung in the guest bathroom for awhile. For now they look happy on my vintage shelves.
The bottom shelf holds another fur elise frame, along with an apothecary jar, family subway art (sorry, I don’t know where I got it-I found it long before I had a blog), and a silver candlestick that is a thrift find. The door knob plate is also a HL find. Love the color and detail.
I love the feel of vintage with whites, blues, greens, and a little silver. That must be why I like these shelves so much!!
This apothecary jar is a thrift find. I like it filled with dried hydrangeas.
Do you have shelves or a mantel you like to decorate??
These shelves just make me smile!! They have the colors, feel, and style I like.
I hope my shelves have inspired you to decorate your shelves, mantel or bookshelves this week!!
Thanks for letting me share my vintage shelves with you today!! I love when you visit and leave a comment. It makes my day!! It REALLY does!!

Good Tuesday morning!! The birds are singing and the sun is warm. Yep, you can feel spring in the air. Love it!! That also means it is wedding season. That’s why I need/want to share a dumpster dive dresser turned wedding shower beauty. You are gonna love this!!
Isn’t she lovely??? Doesn’t she look beautiful??
After some good old TLC she looks amazing!!
This is how I found her. Yep, right next to our dumpster. Just a shell of a dresser.
Our son was getting married and we were hosting an Open House for him. I knew I needed this dresser. I had big plans.
I painted her with primer. I then dry brushed Teal Lake by BHG to fit the motif of the Open House.
We used her as a drink station for the open house serving fruit water and various hot chocolates. She looked lovely and added ambiance to the evening.
Since Hubby isn’t handy in the wood crafting department, I knew I had to give this lovely away. But, I couldn’t give her away to just anyone. It had to be someone who would appreciate her.
My cute friend Barbara came to mind right off the bat. Her hubby is a talented wood worker and could bring this beauty back to full life after Barbara’s simple and elegant touches.
I made the best decision ever!! Can you believe this is the same dresser?? Her hubby made drawers to fit just right so it could be an actual functioning dresser. Notice the chunky feet that were added. They add character and texture.
After adding a white wash Barbara wanted some glass drawer pulls. They add just the right touch, don’t you think?? Barbara had a vision and was able to pull it off beautifully!!
For a wedding shower she was hosting, Barbara shopped her house and brought out all of her touches to add a vintage feel, and a small touch of color.
I was so happy to find my dumpster dive dresser.
Now she is dumpster dive dresser turned wedding shower beauty!
I arrived to Barbara’s just before the wedding shower started so I could see the dresser and she her magic touch everywhere. Amazing!!
If you remember, Barbara and I went shopping at the floral market last week. After I gave her the floral tips for longer lasting blossoms, this is what I found:
In 80 degree weather, her gorgeous florals looked incredible. They were fresh, full, and ready join the dumpster dive dresser turned wedding shower beauty!!
Thanks for joining me today! I have had so much fun with this post! My hope is that you have, too!
