redoing...

Its time for some de-frouing....
I want to de clutter, cut back,
just a few treasures...
more of a romantic farmhouse look, ok, with a little frou...
I am starting in my kitchen where I have a long soffet over the cabinets....


just to much frou frou,
started changing out the hinges...finally found some at a hardware store that was going out of buisness, you don't realize how expensive those are until you need alot of them.
I decided to take everything down and just start all over...



kept the vintage white baskets, some flowers...


one plate that I love...


a couple of linens,
and put them in this great vintage galvanized chicken nest box...



I love it!
I think my husband thought I lost my mind, I know my boys did..hahaha.
I am finishing the hinges and then I am going to do the other soffet.

  12. Both looks are beautiful but I must say I love the after! You've got wonderful collection of vintage finds! BTW, I received my package just after saying goodbye to my golden retriever. Needless to say, it arrived just when I needed to lift my spirits. Every piece is a beautiful treasure...thank you!
