Happy Weekend Cottage Fix Friends! I’m blogging in today with a vintage wicker rocking chair update and some cozy comfort on our sun porch. Do you remember that sweet little rocker I found this past summer at Class and Trash? The one that is incredibly tiny and in need of a seat cushion and a good scrub. I always seem to be bring home things that need to be cleaned — I wonder what that means? So I brought her […]

Salutations my treasure hunting friends! How’s things? I’m checking in today with a few shabby vintage goodies from my road trip last week. A couple of my dearest friends and I went on a road trip to Glen Allen, VA to visit an antique shop we’ve been hoping to get to for a while now. Life just gets so busy you know, but we finally made it. Holy cow — we hit the mother-load of treasure, this junk store is […]

I’ve always wanted a table in my kitchen, something understated and casual. There’s something so old fashion about having a kitchen table, and it seems these days the kitchen table has slowly given way to the ever so popular kitchen island.

Summer is here! It’s hot, my daughter’s been repeating the dreaded phrase “I’m bored”, the pop-cycles are chillin’ in the freezer, and there seems to be a yard sale waiting for me every Saturday morning. A cluttered, junky yard sale on a Saturday morning is my idea of Summer!

Salutations! So … what happens when you buy a largish piano and you have not a single empty spot in the house for it to land? The furniture gets a little rearranging! The buffet was the largest piece of furniture standing between me and my son’s eternal musical happiness — so I moved it into the kitchen.

Talk about one super-sized, spontaneous furniture purchase — a baby grand! We have been toying around with the idea of a piano for a couple of years now. The bottom line is I didn’t want to give up some of my favorite furniture pieces. They weren’t fancy or expensive pieces, I just couldn’t bare to part with them. But, I did. And I am so glad I did. My son has been filling our house with the most beautiful music, […]

The holiday is over, everyone is back to work and back to school. The late breakfasts, long lazy days, and champagne suppers have all come to an end. I’m only joking about the champagne suppers! It usually takes us a couple of days to get into the groove of being altogether 24/7 under one roof. But once we get into the jive of things I think we could go on like that for quite a while. Usually about the time […]
