Vintage Home Favorites A New Feature
Hey friends!
Im starting up a fun little feature here on Our Vintage Home Love! This feature will consist of things that we love, that could be anything we think youll love, too, that will make you smile, make your life easier, mundane tasks more enjoyable, or a recipe that we are crazy about and would like to share. I will blog about these things every other Friday and Im really looking forward to it, cause when I find something I love, nothing makes me happier than telling everyone else about it so they can, perhaps, enjoy it, too!
To kick off this feature, I want to blog about something that I just bought that I am crazy about! Sasha, over at Lemonade Makin Mama, makes and sells these adorable Wine and Cheese bags in her Etsy Shop and I just had to buy one after I saw them on her blog. I just love her blog. She is a tremendous inspiration to me and she takes the most beautiful photos, not to mention how incredibly talented she is. Well, when mine came in the mail, I jumped for joy when I opened the package. It is so adorable!
I just love it so much! The lining is bright and cheerful and makes me so happy just looking at it!
I use a lot of wine in my cooking and I also LOVE cheese, probably more than what is considered normal, and so I will use this a lot when I visit the liquor store. I dont know about you but I love to have something special like this to make very mundane activities a little more fun. I dont necessarily like to go to the liquor store but being able to take this adorable and stylish bag and use it, will definitely make it more enjoyable and I love that. And of course, Im looking forward to taking it to the Farmers Market.
The bag easily holds 3 bottles of wine with room to spare. And I cant stop looking at that cheerful lining on the inside! This bag would also be so much fun to fill with goodies for a wonderful fall picnic with your family or friends. I love it so much that Im actually spiffing up my laundry room, thats right off the kitchen, where it will hang and look so lovely.
You can order a bag for yourself by clicking here! I also ordered her EAT napkins because I found the perfect little vintage basket for cloth napkins at a flea market for a quarter!! I cant wait! Sasha makes beautiful things so make sure you check out the rest of her shop, too!!
Have a great weekend everyone! The winner of the mini bread board set will be randomly selected and announced tomorrow so check back!

Vintage Pieces in varying colors!
I scored about 4 vintage dressers from the 60s.
All solid wood and in pretty good shape. I tried some different colors
this time and this is what I ended up with~ (Pardon my garage staging!! I am out of room!!!)
This guy is made from solid Elm! Have never seen elm before. So I sanded off the old stain and
found this gorgeous solid wood top! I think I put a light shade of walnut on it and used tung oil
to finish it off. Did a custom mix of my own chalk paint in different shades of blues.....Something different!

Next one is a MCM dresser. Same thing. Sanded off the ick, redid the walnut fronts and top.
This one I used an oil base glossy white paint. About 4 coats! Its hard as nails when it dries!! Gave it some racing stripes for something different.
Ok...and #3 is a different looking vintage dresser in Coral!!
I had this oops paint for over a year and made some chalk paint with it.
Mod podged some frabic on the inner drawer fronts
I used a darker shade of coral on the inner door both for contrast and because I used
every last drop of the other shade on the body!!
Shhh....still have to wax the sides! I soooooo hate waxing...... |
ok....So there you have my vintage three!!! A little something for every taste!!!
