diy idea | Tin Foil Furniture Makeover

You have to see it to believe it! This gal silver 'foiled' her nightstand in the truest sense...with regular old household aluminum foil!!!

So impressed with the results...

Read her step by step process here.

my space | Union Jack Dresser

Do you remember I was starting a redo of my bathroom?

Well I did start in on it with some paint and purging then much to my dismay I discovered a gap in my shower surround (which may have to be totally replaced) and the pipe under my sink decided to come loose causing water damage to my vanity not to mention the need to replace the pipes! Uggh! So much for a simple facelift! Sooooo....onto something a little less burdensome until my handyman father is able to assist.

#2 on the list...my Bedroom!!! I'm in the purge the old and search for inspiration stage at this point so here's hoping no serious issues pop up to deter this project. Fingers crossed...

Anyway, I have two red antique pieces (one I just scored a week ago and will share soon!) I love and want to use plus I was thinking about maybe painting my headboard a deep midnight blue.

Besides that I had no real direction so when I stumbled upon this amazing dresser over at Miss Mustard Seed I immediatley knew what my inspiration would be...

Is that beautiful or what?!? I am in love with this dresser! And the most exciting thing it that I have one almost this exact shape with a mirror on top that needs refinishing.

Now back to looking for inspiration...

Newly Added Vintage ...Fall at the Farmhouse

Fall has officially arrived at the Classic Farmhouse on Etsy !!!

Here's just a sampling of some of the newest goodies added...

Cleaning up the Farmhouse

Lots of things are changing around the Farmhouse these days.
We were in much need of a facelift and projects needed to get done.
One of those projects is our new website!!!

We are still working out some quirks so bear with us if fonts are too big, links don’t go anywhere and things just aren’t cooperating.

 Hopefully we’ll have everything cleaned up and working properly soon.

Either way we are gradually making the move and we've love for you to stop by for a visit.

Also, just posted about another project over there...

Window Treatment Collection

...sorry we won't be posting it here.
Would love for you to stop by and say hi!

Newly Added Farmhouse Style

Gosh have I really not posted since Easter? Where have I been? Working my day job of course...selling handbags is tough work ;0)

Ok so I actually have been doing other things...

like filling up my shop with more vintage, antique and handmade goodies...

Click on any pic below to be redirected to that item.

Lots of other items posted the last couple weeks...enjoy browsing!

PS ~ All items are now being shipped at the new low rate of $5.50 no matter what the item, weight, size or location (within the US)...

and only $2.00 for each additional item.

Quite Flattered

I have spent a lot of time lately trying to refine the photos in my etsy shop so I was super excited and quite flattered to have my primitive Lipton tea tin photo picked as part of a feature on the front page a couple days ago!

Third item down on the right hand side...if you want to see the real item click HERE.

Newly Added Vintage...

Trying to simplify the look and style of my etsy shop (part of my march discipline) and have begun by updating the look of my photos. Stop by and take a peek at some of the newly listed items in my shop!

Cath Kidston Love

Anyone love Cath Kidston stuff as much as I do? Just got her new catalog yesterday and have analyzed every page! I love how it incorporates both her great products as well as fun articles, tips, stories, etc. making it more like a magazine then just a simple catalog.

You can view the new catalog online here or order one to be delivered to your door for free here ...trust me you'll love it too!

Now if they would just open a store in the states...or maybe I just need to take a trip ;0)

Magnetic Organizer Boards

I don't know about you but there's certain bits of ephemera and paper inspiration that I prefer to keep visible rather then just stick in a folder. With so many random pieces things can start to look messy so why not display your stuff proudly with some of these great magnetic board ideas? I'm particularly fond of the silhouettes!
