I’ve never been a fan of Easter decor…still not sure why! Instead of decorating with eggs and bunnies, I like to add some greenery around the house. Here are some vintage pieces with a bit of green added to give them some life.

Since I’ve started thinking about painting furniture again, I decided to look back at some of the painted pieces I’ve done over the last few years….clearly, white/cream was the favored color. I used that green quite a bit more than I have pictures to show, and it always sold! People love that green.

I know that there are some pretty strong opinions about painting old furniture. There are some that believe it should be left alone. I don’t always disagree with this. I usually only paint pieces that are beyond help or haven’t sold in their original state (I give pieces 1-2 years to sell and then paint them if they haven’t sold as is).

Some also think that painted furniture is not popular anymore or trendy anymore….well, I don’t really go by what is popular or trendy, so that doesn’t matter to me.

What do you think? And what colors would you like to see? I’ll share my projects in stories this weekend! Stay tuned.

A couple things I'm really into - antique Bibles and chippy wood spindles. Some people might not get the appeal of chippy wood, but I love the character. I've been thinking about starting a new collection, after selling off a lot of my favorites years ago. And the Bibles…
I grab the vintage ones anytime I can!

This sweet sheep print has been waiting patiently for its debut, and I'm so glad it's out now that winter's winding down (fingers crossed!). The giant muffin tin, with its charming patina, is the ideal companion. Ironstone really ties the look together.

More spring decor to come…stay tuned. 💚

Just realized that my last post was from Christmas Day…guess I need to get back to work! Here’s one of those Chat GPT characters that everyone is doing…I guess this one is pretty spot on. I even have an apron like that…and didn’t even put that in my request!
