The Bright Side of the Kitchen|

We finally finished the other side of the kitchen!!

We hung the wallpaper (a task that had my husband known how difficult it would be he may not have taken it on - thanks honey!!) and we put up the bead board and chair rail and painted it along with all the trim!!

Now all that is left to do is sew the valances, I purchased yellow and cream gingham to make the valances out of with my brand new sewing machine! Hopefully it goes well!

Wallpaper and bead board:
Breakfast bar table that my dad made us using old legs off the table that the house came with. It has wheels on one end making it easy to move around the kitchen.
Coner of the kitchen near the dinning room. The shelf shows off the tins nicley with its fresh coat of paint! And the antique wash stand now pops off the wall!
Now onto the next project... sewing the valances for over the kitchen windows! Hope it goes well!

DIY Vintage Greeting Cards |

Why not use vintage photos of yourself / your family growing up to make greeting cards out of?

For example here is a picture of myself dressed as a piglet and my brother dressed as a cheetah for Halloween and I used this photo to make a card for my mom.

Simply find some of your old seasonal photos (Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Birthday etc.) and scan them into your computer. Then you can simply print out the photo to use on the front of a homemade card, or you can write your message right on the image using a program on your computer with a text option.

Here is an old photo of my brother at his birthday that I made into a birthday greeting:

And here is another picture of my brother that could I made into a note card that could be used for anything:


And here is a photo of my dad & brother building a snow man when he was two that can be used as a Christmas Card:


Vintage photo cards are SO popular right now - so why not make your own for a fraction of the cost and have more meaningful cards at the same time!!
