pinterest project...

After my glamping season ended last October, I began a mini makeover on our kitchen.

Of course, 3 months later I am still not finished, but I am so in love with our weekend project that I had to pop in and share it.

This corner of the room has seen a few different looks since I started this blog...

2010 and my shabby pink phase...

2011 (I still have this sign, I just moved it to another room)...

And now in 2015...

This was my inspiration that I found on Pinterest from

7th House on the Left...

My husband is so handy ~ didn't he do a great job!

Thanks Jim, I love them ~ and you!

Thanks for stopping by today and remember you can follow along with me on Facebook and Instagram as well!

glamping, vintage style...

It has been a very long Winter.

It is almost May 1st, and we really have not seen much of Spring at all.

Today is another grey day and I do not think we will see the sun until Friday (keep your fingers crossed please).

Despite all this I am in a good mood.

You could say I am one happy camper as our camping season starts Thursday!

I am really a Happy Glamper.

While I absolutely love my new trailer (you can see it here), on my wish list is still a sweet old vintage trailer that has been renovated and prettied up like one of these that I have found on Pinterest...

This next one would be way to girly for Jim...

Maybe he would like this one...

But this is my wish list...

You can see more vintage trailer makeovers on my 

Glamping Pinterest board.

Thanks so much for stopping by, hope the sun is out where you are!

pinterest wish list...

It's snowing here today.

I am enjoying the beautiful white view out my window this morning.

With no pressing errands to run and being in between projects for the shop and my nest, I have a feeling it is going to be a Pinterest kind of day!

On my "wish list" Pinterest board I pinned this beautiful white firkin filled with hydrangeas...

I missed out on one (not white) at the shop a few months ago.
I could kick myself.
I should know better since treasures like that go quickly at the shop.
While I was out treasure hunting this past summer with my girlfriends, Sue spied an old bucket that we thought would be a good choice until I found a real firkin.  It is great having extra eyes looking for the stuff you like isn't it!
I finally painted it the other day...

Thanks Sue!

Of course since I had a new vignette in my den I needed to fluff a little more.  

I actually made a new pillow.

Ok, I really did not "make" a new pillow.  I just used an extra valance and "covered" a pillow...

My Mom made these valances a long time ago for her kitchen and now they hang in mine.

Having only two windows, I am happy to finally use the extra one and wonder why I did not think of this earlier!

I would love real pillows made with this material (by a professional of course).

Anyone recognize it and know where I might be able to buy some?

Well, thanks for visiting today!

I am joining Becky for Blissful Whites Wednesday where I am sure I will find plenty of other things to pin today!

You can check out my Pinterest wish list board and all my others here.

perfect day to pin...

It is quite a blustery day outside my window.

As Hurricane Sandy makes her way up the East Coast, this Sandi decided it would be the perfect day to pin.

After I clean the house of course.

Or not. 

Here are a few of my favorites that I pinned a while ago that still make my heart skip a beat.

From my board "don't miss the details"...

My "vintage vignettes" board has quite a few pins from the
Curious Boys...

I'm smitten with them...

Then there is my ever growing "wish list" board...

I missed out on the firkin at the shop.  I wanted to paint it white just like this one.


Last but not least is my "vintage with a view" board.
These views are much better than the one outside my window!
Love this beauty from another Sandi...

This next pin is for my bff.
Happy Birthday Lisa!

Thank you for stopping by today!
Hoping everyone stays safe during the storm!
Off to pin some more I mean clean!

vintage inspiration for fall...

You know when you pin something that inspires you...

Source: mystylishnest.com via Sandra on Pinterest

And you want one, or something like it for yourself?

Well, thanks to a wonderful neighbor and some of my dried hydrangeas, I put this centerpiece together for my kitchen table...

I love the old tree branch handle...

And I love the old, rusty hardware...

Again, here is my inspiration...

And here is my fall version...

I can always whiten lighten it up in the spring!

Sharing with Debra for Vintage Inspiration Friday!

Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!!

Oh...and if you live nearby...don't forget the

Wrentham Country Store's

Vintage Fall Market Weekend!

mannequin love...

If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have seen my "Mannequin Love" board.

I just love vintage mannequins and when I come across one that I especially love, I pin it and name her in honor of the blog where it originated from.

To share a few with you, there is Rene...

and last but not least, Tot's girls...

I have one that I would like to give a makeover to.
Maybe I will decoupage it and dress it up to look like Melanie...

Source: mysweetsavannah.blogspot.com via Sandra on Pinterest

Or maybe paint it black and give it a french look like Yanet (from 3 Sun Kissed Boys when she guest posted for Suzanne over at Meridian Road)...

I just know that this old lady needs a makeover...




Come to think of it, I would love a makeover too!!


I will probably just paint her white and save her for the At Home With White Show at the shop.


Speaking of the shop and mannequins, look at this unique one Mary Ellen just found...

It is original, not painted!


Visit my Mannequin Love Pinterest board to see the rest of the girls.


Thanks for visiting...have a wonderful week!!

wish list...

I am sure all of you have a wish list just like I do.

Pinterest makes it so easy to take a peek at what makes my heart skip a beat whenever I want.

I would love a chippy old white table in my kitchen...

Source: decordeprovence.blogspot.com via Sandra on Pinterest

Of course I would love to display a wonderful vintage treasure on it like an old bottle carrier...

Source: shabbyfrenchforme.blogspot.com via Sandra on Pinterest

Or maybe an old birdcage...

Source: frenchlarkspur.blogspot.com via Sandra on Pinterest

Of course a few of these bistro chairs would look great around the table...

Source: fionaandtwig.blogspot.com via Sandra on Pinterest

And while I am sitting at this table in my mind, I am wearing these of course...

The last thing today that I will share on my wish list is that I wish blogger would fix these problems!!!
I see I am not the only one that is frustrated!
So, while being blocked out of so many of my favorite places I decided to play around with my blog and give it a new look.
Yup, you guessed it...problems with blogger there too.
I am still trying to fix things today.
Let's hope this new week will find things back to normal!
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day!
