http://creatingavintagelife.blogspot.com/2012/03/bertha-unveiled.html

Saturday, March 24, 2012. Let me ask my fellow bloggers a question: how long does it take you to edit your pictures? Because I spent HOURS today taking, editing, and organizing my pictures - sheesh, it seems like it should be easier! Anyway.if you remember Bertha, the extremely dirty and somewhat dysfunctional but with lots of potential. Secretary that I scored at an antiques shop:. Then I sold the bookcase in my front room. And suddenly I had all this empty space! I felt ready to tackle Bertha. They are...

Creating a Vintage Life: May 2012

http://creatingavintagelife.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 28, 2012. I saw these beauties at a garage sale, and couldn't grab them fast enough. I had big plans for them.I figured they'd be just beautiful in white, or maybe ASCP Paris Grey. Someone would fall in love with them and buy them to take home and make their own. And someone DID fall in love with them. Me. I had decided to make over my den so that I would have a place to watch TV when I couldn't deal with whatever my kids were watching (they're 20 and 16; need I say more? I just love them!

Sunday, January 22, 2012. Too Soon for Spring? I find it ironic that I started working on my spring decor during the first snow fall of the year. I know it's January, but I'm craving whites and greens with wood contrasts.kind of a la Pottery Barn. Here's what I have so far! Have you made any changes in your decor in the new year?

http://creatingavintagelife.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 23, 2011. Why I haven't been painting furniture - Part One. I have two beautiful tables waiting to be painted. They're gonna look great when they're done! But they will probably have to wait until it gets colder and not so nice outside.a luxury I can make use of thanks to the low VOC of AS Chalk Paint! Do you blame me for making the tables wait? Stay tuned for northwest New Jersey and some gorgeous fall foliage! Mona Kay at Blissfully Refurbished. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Saturday, July 30, 2011. I Am Soooooo Into "The Graphics Fairy"! If you're in the blogging world, you probably know about Karen, "The Graphics Fairy".

Friday, May 20, 2011. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Where have you been all my life? It just goes to show, you shouldn't craft in a vacuum. That's why I love all my blogging friends! Like many in the furniture restoration world, I absolutely LOVE Miss Mustard Seed. Imagine how delighted I was to find that there is a North American supplier right here in NJ! I called and spoke to Patty Seaman of Classic Wall Finishes. Here is the first piece I completed for a client. Here's the before:. Links to this post.

Sunday, September 18, 2011. True work in progress. I am not an interior decorator.no kidding! I read the beautiful blogs of blog land, and I am inspired on a regular basis.and I have so much fun using my home as my personal styling lab!
