Vintage White Iron

 Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday

Here are a few of my favorite

~Vintage Irons~

This vintage white enamel iron is my favorite treasures

it has the most wonderful wooden handle

and just the right amount of 

chippy charm

♥

The iron has been a 

door stop 

a bookend and 

a mini vase for some fabulous

white iceberg roses

It is very heavy 

 just imagine the history attached to this treasure

{Love}

all of the

rust

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday

What a fabulous long weekend and
Memorial Day Celebration we had

So Blessed and Grateful

to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave 
♥ 
Time to get ready for summer

and go shopping for a new Bathing Suit !!!!!!

Yikes

{Love}
the bathing suits in the first picture 

with the matching bathing caps
and the pretty white straw hat  and sarong above

♥

Anthropologie has some adorable
new retro style  bathing suits

 Have to be in the right frame of mind 

to try on bathing suits and this weekend  

We were in Santa Monica  at the 3rd street promenade and

I tried on a few 

and giggled and laughed alot

This pink one was cute on 

very pretty color too

it did not come with the belt

This one was

 very

fun and

flirty

{Love} 
 the stripes
but my daughter said it looked like a zebra
not the look I was going for
Bathing Suit shopping
 was more fun than expected with all of the cute suits to choose from

♥

Also Found a new summer project

  this outdoor fireplace

from BHG magazine

New Inspiration for the backyard

White Kitchen Island

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday
♥

 {Love}

The kitchen island
it turned out better than expected

It was a difficult decision to paint over such beautiful wood

Here is a picture of the island when I first bought it
it was a steal at $50 dollars

I always liked its size and the detail

I sanded the wood with a light grade sand paper

than painted a light coat of "Kilz"

then started painting

I used Behr

 Ultra Pure White semi gloss enamel paint

The details really pop with the white paint

even Family agrees it looks great

Yippee

This looks and feels like home

♥

Here it is at the sale

 so happy I changed my mind

Now that I have the paint out

I am in the mood to paint the floors in the dining room

fingers crossed it turns out as good

Vintage White Wicker

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday

This vintage white wicker chair

is beat up, chippy and fabulous
did you know
Wicker it is not just for outside

This chair has been in every room in our house
it is loved

♥
 To me that is the sign of a great piece of furniture

being able to move it from

room to room

Right now it is in the
dining room
next to the buffet
it was in my daughters bedroom
and in the bathroom before that

There is a sense of

~romance~

to vintage white wicker furniture

{Love}

the texture and the

old white paint

Just cut roses from the garden

  they look beautiful in the basket

 with the place mats for the dining table

Vintage Memories

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday

This is the sweetest 

vintage sugar and creamer
set

{Love}

the hand painted roses

I found the set at a thrift store years ago

When I got home I found a small note and some brown leaves

inside the sugar bowl

The note says..

Johnny and Jenny had a walk by the lake

He left for service a few hours later

I do not know who the people are
or what happened but I have saved the

note and the leaves just the way I found them

A Memory Saved for all time
