Since this is my first post, I thought I would start it with why I want to start a blog. I have discovered I love looking at and following other bloggers that share my love of repurposing, crafting and refinishing.
I enjoy updating or repurposing things I have found at thrift stores or garage sales. My theme seems to be painting things white. I think the white paint makes things so clean and fresh. I’m sure I will eventually find a new color but right now, white it is.
Crafting has also become one of my favorite things to do. I can always find a reason to make something for one purpose or another.
Preserving a piece of furniture or decor, saves a small bit of history. The rich wood colors makes you think of the previous owners and how they used it.
Vintage things have so much history to them. They seem to talk to you. Old scales, furniture, vases, the list is endless.
I love to shop for those wonderful pieces of history, myself. It’s somehow much more meaningful to bring a piece into my home that hasn’t come in a kit from a giant store that requires me to walk through their warehouse to check out. I love to make up stories about the people that owned it before me. Knowing the real story is even better, but that’s hard to find. Looking forward to hearing about all the great things you find and how you repurpose them.
