After researching both sides, studying pictures of people who have it and losing sleep, I finally made a decision. Yea. I like shiplap. Here’s why! Texture I’m all about adding an extra layer of texture to a room. Welp, shiplap definitely brings a neutral texture to any…

How to Shop at a Vintage/Antique Mall
My love for antiques is serious. I had my first antique booth when I was 12 years old. The owner of the store rented built in shelves that were in the aisle. ☺️ From there, my love (obsession) grew.

Dresser Makeover / Chalk Paint Tips
Last week I found a vintage French Provincial dresser for only $40.00. ? I knew immediately it was meant to be for my bedroom. Here’s how I fixed it up!! Deep Clean A lot of times these older pieces have been in storage sheds or garages, so they’ve collected many years of dust and dirt. ? I usually remove the handles and spray my furniture really well with Mrs. Myer’s All Purpose then allow it to sit for a few minutes. (Mrs. Myer’s does most of the work.) Paint I use several different types of chalk paint but for this piece I used my favorite, Old White by Annie Sloan.…
