Bella Blue Painted and Crackled Hutch

Hello, friends.  I've got a furniture reveal for you today.

Potty talk ~ Toto toilets and a giveaway

Hello, friends.  I hope you're enjoying the fall weather in your neck of the woods as much as we're enjoying it here on the ridge.  It's been so fabulous lately, and the forecast is amazing. I've been decorating for fall and made our first batch of chili for dinner last night.

I've also been sprucing up some of the rooms in our house lately (go here or here to see some), and one of them is our guest bath.

Update: Go here to see the completely remodeled guest/hall bath.

It's slated for a complete remodel in the next couple of months, but we went ahead and changed out the old toilet a couple of weeks ago.  Why not just wait?  Well, here's why:

Sneak peek

Hello, friends.  I've been busy working on projects and planning for some upcoming projects and don't have a full post,  but am going to give a little sneak peek of something that I just finished yesterday.

It's a small China hutch that got a facelift with some interesting paint techniques and waxes.  I'll have a full reveal post coming up soon, as well as some other fun stuff.  

I just wanted to keep in touch with everyone and let you know that good things are coming!

I hope everyone is having a great week!  

Thanks for dropping by.

XOXOX,

Angie

Bella Rustica Road Trip

Hello, friends! Two weekends ago I headed a couple of hours west and attended Bella Rustica, a pop-up event where all kinds of cool vintage items were for sale.  I bought a few things for myself, but saw so many great creations.  I thought it would be fun to share some of what I saw.

This greeted us as we entered the outside booths.  They won 1st place for best booth, and it was well deserved honor.
