Luckett's Spring Market 2019

Tour of a vintage market booth and vendors from one of the largest and most popular vintage markets on the East coast!  This week has been crazy!  I take that back.  The last couple of weeks have been crazy.  Besides living in a construction zone and being smack dab in the middle of a major renovation, I've also been preparing for one of the largest vintage markets of the year.  Luckett's Spring Market brings visitors and vendors from up and down the east coast for a weekend full of vintage shopping, food trucks, beer and live music.   It's one of my favorite vintage markets and it never disappoints.  I've been going to the Luckett's Spring Market for years ( Luckett's 2015 / Luckett's 2016 ), but this is the first year I've been a vendor and it was such a great experience.  I sold a ton, got to spend a fun weekend shopping and working with my Sweet Clover family and met some amazing and talented vendors.  ...

How to Style the Perfect Entry Table

Basic tips and ideas for styling the perfect entry or console table One of my favorite spaces in our home to decorate is the entry table.  It's the perfect place to switch up our home decor for the changing seasons and a great place to display some of my favorite decor finds.  It's also the first thing you see when you walk in our front door and I love that it sets the tone for the rest of our home.  When we started our first-floor renovation and moved most of our living room furniture to the garage I knew right away I wanted to move the entry table downstairs.  I wanted at least one space that I could decorate and keep neat in the midst of the renovation chaos and mess.  Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post.    ...

Friday Favorites: Affordable Neutral Outdoor Decor

Affordable and neutral decor for creating stylish outdoor spaces on a budget.  Who else has outdoor decorating on their mind?   The warmer weather, longer days and living in a half torn apart house is giving me the itch to spruce up our outdoor spaces.  A few years ago, I updated our front porch and back deck , but it's definitely time for a refresh.   Our black and white rugs were left out all winter and have seen better days and our wrought iron dining set are about 15 years old and drip rust whenever it rains.   Every year I declare I'm going to get new deck furniture and every year I put it off.  I'm hoping this will finally be the year where I pull the trigger and finally order a new table and chairs.  A couple new rugs and some new pots and fresh greenery would be nice too.  ...

Kitchen Update Week Two: The Walls are Gone

Week two first floor renovation update of our small ranch style home.  This week was all about demo and removing ALL THE WALLS! Our contractor made major demo progress and was able to remove all the walls around our stairs, completely opening up our floor plan.  It's AMAZING how much larger our small home feels simply by removing a few walls.   We still have a way to go, but having the walls down and being able to visualize the space is such an amazing feeling.            ...
