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!

old cape cod...

Did I ever tell you where I met my husband?

I spent my summers growing up "down the cape",

in a sweet, tiny cottage with two of my cousins and my Nana.

Our parents would come and stay on the weekends and the best memories were made...

Jim and his family lived up the street.

We started "going together" when we were 15 and have been together ever since...

When I saw an old framed map of Cape Cod at the shop (thank you Robin!) I knew it would fit in perfectly somewhere in my living room makeover that I started last Fall...

The living room is still not quite finished and ready for the final reveal, but I thought I would share my small entry way.

A little tribute to where our story started.

We spend our summers now not too far from where we first met!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the holiday weekend!

weekend project...

My husband brought home a pile of perfectly weathered old wood he found curbside a while ago.

I love how he thinks of me during the day!

We used some for a headboard for my son's room.

If you missed that post you can see it here.

I want to use some for a new top to our old desk in the den as we continue to make over the space...

He put one piece through a planer, but I am leaning toward keeping the boards as is.

Do you have a weekend project?

Thanks for stopping by!

27 years later...

Yesterday was our 27th anniversary!

We spent the day with great friends down the cape with a little shopping, lots of great food and even more laughs!

We even went out on Jim's boat for a late day cruise down the Cape Cod Canal.

Thanks for a great day Jim...love you!

vintage inspiration from our white show...

I would love to share some vintage inspiration from our White Show with you all and Debra at Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday.  Take a peek in Mary Ellen's spaces.

Her displays inspire me and I know they will inspire you too...

This wonderful old doll found the perfect home (and with a sweet extra outfit too)! 

Inside the shop Mary Ellen's displays delivered as well, from her gardening space...

To her french inspired treasures...

Treasures that were all highlighted by a wonderful vintage prom dress...

Love this message for the treasure hunter in all of us who long to shop the brocantes in Paris someday...

Thank you again Mary Ellen for giving me the chance to be part of this wonderful shop!

I had a few minutes during the hustle and bustle of Saturday morning to catch up with Chris from Tutti Chic...

Go take a peek at her beautiful blog to see all the fabulous finds she brought home from the show!

(How did I miss those sconces!)

We had three fun filled days in the sun with the tent over flowing with white treasures.  Now that the tent is down the remaining treasures have found their way into my fellow Shop Girls' booths.  Take a peek at our website to see their displays!

I know it's been another long post but I just wanted to wish Jim a Happy Birthday today!

Thank you so much for letting me follow my dreams...I love you!

Thank you all for visiting!

I have lots more of the show to share, so have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see you next week!

booth makeover...

Are you ready?!!  I know you are sitting down at least so let me just remind you what my booth looked like before...

I tossed a few ideas around in my head and on paper and the wait was driving me crazy...

So, after an early day of fishing (a cold one too) and after putting the boat away for the season, Jim met me at the shop after my shift and we got to work ~ well, he did at first...

I have to tell you, I could not stop smiling and even Jim gave me one...

I am sure you feel the same way ~ it is the little things in life that melt my heart...

With my new beautiful walls up it was time to feather this little corner...

After a few hours and many, many glances at the clock from Jim I was done...

As you can see the ol' typewriter found it's home on the desk I made over and I staged it with the numbered chair...

I just love the way things are popping against the wall with glimpses of the vintage sheet music...

I love the way the back wall came out too ~ I wanted a mix of words and mirrors...

I was going to use the shutter in a different way but I think it looks great as a shelf...

I am thrilled with the way it turned out!  I have two more doors ready to go for the last wall and am in the middle of finishing the last one.  I also need to figure out what I want to use for shelves ~ I do have a great old pink plate rack that needs a dreamy white makeover.  I am so looking forward to seeing the whole space complete...

Thank you so much Jim for all your help and support in my shop adventure!!  I also want to thank Kathleen for hosting White Wednesday today over at Faded Charm ~ I hope you all have fun browsing all the inspiring wonderful whites everyone shares today.  Thank you all for visiting today and if you are ever by The Wrentham Country Store stop in and say hi!
