Vintage Modern Christmas Mudroom

A little modern, a little vintage and a little Scandi!  A vintage modern mudroom gets decorated for Christmas with a minimal  vintage Scandi vibe. Let's be honest,  our house has been decorated for Christmas for weeks, but now that Thanksgiving has passed it's officially ALL THINGS CHRISTMAS!  I'm not a lover of red, so I kept red to a minimum (only in the kitchen) and went with a more vintage Scandi Christmas vibe in the rest of the house.   The neutral minimal decor not only looks greats but will also transition beautifully from Christmas to winter.   The mudroom is probably my favorite room in the house and is filled with some of my favorite vintage finds.  It's also my favorite room to decorate, especially at Christmastime.     ...

Modern Farmhouse Bassett Desk Makeover

A dated Bassett desk gets a fresh modern farmhouse makeover with paint and new hardware! This girl has not only been cranking out furniture makeovers but has also found time to blog about them.  What is going on? haha Last week, I shared a simple drop leaf side table makeover and since I had paint and bin pulls leftover I decided to create the same look on a dated Bassett desk.   I got kind of lucky finding this desk as it has been incredibly difficult to find good quality desks lately.  It definitely wasn't my style, but I knew I could give it a modern farmhouse makeover with minimal cost and effort. ...

Drop Leaf Table Makeover: Before and After

Dated drop leaf tables get a vintage modern makeover with new paint and hardware!  First off, I want to apologize.  If you follow me on Instagram then you may be expecting to see my vintage Christmas decorated kitchen.  In my defense, I had all intentions of sharing my decorated kitchen, but last-minute sales at my vintage booth   at Sweet Clover Barn derailed  m y plans and threw me into "furniture makeover" overdrive.  I can't even remember the last time I shared a furniture makeover , but this quick and easy drop leaf side table makeover was too good not to share.   Drop leaf tables aren't my style, but they are pretty common and easy to find at auctions, estate sales or on Facebook Marketplace (it can be harder to find matching tables at thrift stores).  They are also super easy to update and transform from drab and dated to stylish and modern. ...
