Reware VintageIt’s been a quite a busy season, but as it is wrapping up and winding down, we’ve definitely been getting in the holiday spirit over here! We’ve been decorating, crafting, cooking and enjoying the snow here in Michigan. I thought it’d be a great time to show you how our home is decorated for Christmas! [...]
March is National Craft Month, and so why not learn a new craft to celebrate? My friend Amy and I took a one-evening class on making silhouettes at The Community House in Birmingham, Michigan and had a lot of fun. The craft was a pretty comfortable project (especially with a glass of wine) and our [...]
While quite a lot of our Christmas decor is put away for this year (not really toddler proof), we do have some of our favorites out and getting us in the holiday spirit! Our Christmas blocks from Uncle Goose A vintage handmade wreath passed down from my father
This weekend I am working in our vegetable and herb garden! This will be our fourth year with a garden, and I’m hoping this will be our best producing garden yet.

I found this set of cards at the thrift store one day, with a booklet to [...]

A little room remodel took place this week in our living room! Inspiration started with the purchase of this amazing vintage couch – a find at the Royal Oak Garage Sale on my birthday last summer. 1970s, velvet, and ridiculously comfortable. Mirrors on the armrests?!? YES INDEED. I made the pillows myself, out of the [...]
