My New Favorite Blog

This Young House is such a wonderful blog I happened to stumble upon while looking up how to paint a table on the web. I am so glad I did! I not only got some great tips on how to paint my yucky black dining table, but I found so much information on tons more projects. Take their house tour and you will discover how much sweat they put into making their fixer upper home into a lovely, chic to die for home! These are my three favorite rooms they redid, but they also did the bedrooms, bathrooms, front porch, and back patio. We are talking a head to toe makeover. I only dream of being able to do what they have done. We want to own a home so bad, but have no idea where we are moving to right now. So hopefully one day soon we will be able to. You must also check out their handmade wedding they put together that was held in their beautiful backyard. It is amazing how frugal they were, and how beautiful it turned out.

Just My Style

Everyone knows that I have a love for midcentury modern design and mostly anything vintage, but I also love a little bit of shabby chic thrown in the mix sometimes. I love the feminine quality it brings to a room, and the lived in cozy feeling it portrays. I also think I love it because when I was a little girl I wished for a lacy, fluffy, pink, girly room, and I was never able to have that. I found a group of flickr photos from Tammy Manets "Home and Garden Inspiration" set in her photostream and I found some pictures that encompass just how much modern and shabby chic go together. All these rooms are beautiful and even though I love shabby chic, I don't like the "I am at my grandmas house" kinda shabby chic look, but just enough to get my point across. I guess what i mean is " a little shabby chic goes a long way". I still like to keep the whole look clean and simple.
