I knew Vanessa’s kitchen before I knew Vanessa, which is not that uncommon in the blog/Instagram/Pinterest world we all inhabit. You might recognize this little gem… Yep. That’s Vanessa’s kitchen. So, I’ve been stalking the Vintage Whites feed on Instagram and pinning from the Vintage Whites blog for a while. Leaving hearts and comments on occasion, but […]
living & dining rooms | Christmas 2015
My favorite rooms to decorate for Christmas are the definitely the living and dining rooms. It’s hard to believe how dark these rooms were when we first moved in over nine years ago and now how light-filled and fresh they feel. For Christmas, I just add some fresh greenery and a few wool pom-poms. That’s about […]
gingerbread-ing it up
Would you believe that I have never made gingerbread houses or cookies from scratch? Ever?

master bedroom Christmas decorating
I don’t decorate every single room in the house for Christmas, but our master bedroom is right off the family room, so I like to bring a few festive touches in the room. I decorated the room pretty much as I did last year. I don’t feel like I have to keep things the same, […]
slipcover series part 4 & reveal
Well, I finally finished the slipcover for my mom’s room makeover! Slipcovers aren’t my favorite and catching every step on film slows my progress to a crawl, so it’s taken me much longer than usual to get this thing finished. I gave myself a pep-talk and threw some air-punches in the studio and I made […]
painted primitive cabinet
Does this cabinet look at all familiar? How about now…? I bought it to sell at the Market on Chapel Hill and I originally didn’t paint it, because it had a pretty patina. But it didn’t sell and it felt like a bit of a black hole, so I decided to lighten it up with […]
