How to Choose The Right Paint for your Project

1/19/2021

0 Comments

 
We've come a long way from the days when your paint choices were mainly oil or water...or perhaps you know it as enamel vs. latex. But long before the first sealable paint cans were patented in the 1860s, people formulated their own whitewash solutions from salt and hydrated lime, and milk or casein paint from milk proteins. Suffice it to say, pigment plus minerals have been a winning combo that have stood the test of time.

So which paint is right for your project? Let's take a quick look at both milk paint and chalk mineral paint.

What Do You Do With a 60-Drawer Card CAtalog?

1/12/2021

1 Comment

 
The obvious answer: you haul it home, of course.

If you know me, you know I have a thing for anything with drawers and cubbies - the more, the better. (And a rather serious vintage mixing bowl fetish....but that's another story.) I've traveled hither and yon across the mid-state for card catalogs, usually just the 18-drawer stacking cabinets. hefty, but manageable, especially if you remove the drawers.

​L
ast week, a grand-daddy of a cabinet came my way, and to be honest, I'm still not sure how two of us actually loaded it in my Armada. Adrenaline, baby.

Now the question is, what to do with this 400-pound beast?

How to Choose (and use) the Perfect Top Coat

1/5/2021

0 Comments

 
Once you're through painting or staining a piece, the last step is to seal it with the right top coat. Should you use wax? Or a water-based polycrylic? Or maybe an oil-based polyurethane? It's not exactly a secret that we are HUGE fan-girls of General Finishes products, including their top coats. Here's a rundown of their water-based sealers, and some recommendations on what-to-use (and how.)

For the love of vintage linens

1/15/2020

0 Comments

 
It's January, and that historically means "white sales" on linens. There's something to be said for starting the new year with fresh, crisp new bed sheets and soft fluffy towels. But there's also a place in our hearts for vintage linens - from aprons and tea towels, to crocheted doilies and hand-stitched quilts. Often these mainstays come to us with some stains and tears, but they've stood the test of time. Here are some tips for cleaning and refreshing them so they can continue to serve us and the generations that will follow us.

Dressing your dresser: 7 styles that are on trend right now

11/26/2019

0 Comments

 
What is on top of your dresser? Tell the truth: we've all piled random "stuff" on our dressers from time to time. Maybe yours is piled high right now. But as a functional piece of furniture, dressers serve a dual purpose: they provide storage (preferably IN the drawers, and not ON the dresser), and they help communicate your personal style via the items you choose to place on top, as much as the style of the piece itself. That's a tall order to fill for one piece of furniture, so let's take a little of the pressure off, and walk through some ideas for how to style your dresser's top to reflect you.

Sweet Dreams: Equal parts inspiration, translation, perspiration and motivation.

10/22/2019

0 Comments

 
Customers and friends often ask us if our homes are as beautifully decorated as the shop. We get a chuckle when we hear their speculations, because it's the age-old paradox: the cobbler's children have no shoes; similarly, we have little time or energy left over to pour into beautifying our own living spaces. But occasionally, we do both get an itch to change things up on the home front, and at the moment, we're both working on updating our bedrooms. With this installment, we'll start walking you through our makeover processes.

Midsummer: Are we there yet?

8/8/2019

In the South, things heat up early and stay blistering hot for a long time. Midsummer is typically recognized as the start of summer, but this week marks the midway point through summer.  No matter what you call it, we're still a long way from true fall weather.

3 Tips for Vintage Vendors

7/25/2019

0 Comments

 
At least once a week (and sometimes more), someone asks us if we have any space available in our little log cabin. Most of these inquiries are from customers who are inspired by what they see, and dream of having their own space in a shop...someday. If you're dreaming of having a vintage business, here are a few tips we've learned along the way.
