“Vintage” Christmas Car

November 20, 2014 by Fotini Filed Under: Christmas, decor, vintage, vintage car, vintage Christmas 8 Comments

I have a major addiction to checking the clearance isle every-single-time I’m at Marshalls. I consider this pretty exciting, ask my husband and he probably won’t agree (wink!). The last time I checked, I spotted this adorable vintage-looking car! Better yet, it only had a $7 price tag, score! 
Although the copper and black appearance is appealing, it wouldn’t match with my Christmas decor enough. So I’m sure you know what I did… I painted it white! Not all of it, just the majority of the exterior. I kept the tires and inside the original finish. I used clay/chalk paint so it dried quick and I could move right on to the next step! I grabbed a bottle brush tree I snagged from the dollar store last year and simply anchored it in place using some red and white bakers twine. It’s that simple! I turned this aged car into the perfect “vintage” car to go along with my Christmas decor! Isn’t it just darling?

{ Country Living Fair Recap }

September 18, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: Country Living, Country Living Fair, country living magazine, diy, Editor and chief, repurposed, retro, vintage

A few weeks ago I received an email from Hometalk inviting me to join them at the Country Living Fair Columbus, I was beyond thrilled! Honestly, I never knew or heard of the fair here so I was really looking forward to going! I invited my best friend to join in for the fun, so her and I made a date of it 😉
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, very Fall-like! The fair took place in Ohio Village and was packed full of hundreds of vendors! There was truly something for everyone there! Vintage, retro, rustic, repurposed, handmade, you name it! I died and went to heaven for the day… There was so much to look at, I didn’t know where to start!
I naturally gravitated towards anything vintage and burlap. But there were plenty of items to peek my interest!

My favorite part of the day, though, was meeting some fabulous bloggers that I’ve been following online for sometime! That was really exciting and rewarding to meet them in person! We all had the pleasure of meeting Rachel DeScepper, the senior web editor of Country Living Magazine and Sarah Gray Miller the magazine’s editor in chief! Not to mention, Cari Cucksey from the show Cash & Cari!

The Country Living Fair travels across the entire U.S. so check out the website to see if and when there’s a fair coming near you!

1. I’m not really sure I can explain my immense love for this entire Vintage Americana setup! It’s absolutely perfect!! I highly encourage you to stop by the wonderful Pizzazzerie and feast your eyes on this adorable 4th of July party! She provides all the deats for the printables used (even a freebie!).
2. We all know my love for burlap wreaths, so it’s no wonder why this one caught my eye! It’s absolutely adorable! You can easily use this same technique for dressing up your wreath for the fourth! I think I see a weekend project coming my way (wink!)
3. I love all the vintage details in this lovely set up from my blogger friend Allison at The Golden Sycamore! Head over and check out how she uses true vintage pieces, along with new, and incorporates them to make this vignette pop!!
4. Mmm, mmm, mmm… This patriotic dessert looks divine! It’s nice and light, but full of sweetness! I will definitely be making this one this year! Head on over to Curly Girl Kitchen and check out the full recipe there! Enjoy J
