tweaking my greenhouse

Hello my friends ~ It has been cold and damp here in Ontario.   Not very nice at all ~ rainy, rainy, rainy ~ So I decided to tweak my little greenhouse

This winter took its toll on my little greenhouse.  The glass broke and it was a mess ~ so Mr. Vintage took out all of the glass walls and we put up plastic.  Now at least I can use this little gem to start flowers and veggies ~

I put up my little window.

Mr. Vintage made a couple of shelves for my pots ~

I just love the look of old clay pots ~ don't you?

Now that it is sunny today, I will start my seeds ~ yay!

And by the way, my girls are very happy that it is Sunny today ~

Maybe we'll let them out for a romp around the yard ~

I think they want to play ~

Momma bunny has been visiting our yard too ~

She's very friendly and doesn't mind a bit that I am outside with her ~

Chico's ready to play too ~ Come on Chico let's go outside and plant some seeds ~

It's finally sunny out ~ Enjoy your day ~!

(((Hugs)))

A new couch and chair ~

Hello my friends ~ it is a beautiful day today.  I have waited so long to do this ~ laundry on the line ;-)

The fairies are loving this weather and things are starting to pop ~

I have been looking for a new couch for my living room for quite a while.  I wanted an Ikea Ektorp couch, but Mr. Vintage was not crazy for it ~ so I continued the search.

Well, today was my lucky day.  I found a couch and chair on Kijiji and it is perfect ~

Here is the chair ~

Here is part of the couch ~ the material is wonderful and they just fit in perfectly ~ Even Mr. Vintage likes it ~ It is an antique couch which was totally redone.  I love the material ~

I am very happy now.  Love this look ~ It was really funny, but the lady I purchased these from was one of my daughter's primary school teachers ~ It's such a small world

Even Chico loves the couch ~ he can look out the window from the arm of the couch ~

I'm very happy with the look.

Have you found anything that you absolutely love lately?

Do tell

(((Hugs)))

We have Easter Bunnies ~!

Happy Easter my friends ~

The table is set ~

The flowers are beautiful ~

We are ready for a wonderful Easter dinner with our family

By the way ~ we have Easter Bunnies~!

Mr. Vintage and I have been working hard trying to get the gardens cleaned out after this long long hard winter ~

Plants are starting to pop

including my poppies ~       ;-)

Well, we got to the back part of our garden and we discovered a little bit of fluff ~

Momma bunny has a nest in our garden ~ shhhh ~ the babies are sleeping.  We just could not disturb this nest ~ so I guess that part of the garden will wait a couple of weeks until the babies are big enough to move around.

Yes, we do have Easter Bunnies ~  we'll let them rest ~

I hope all of you have a Happy and safe Easter with family and friends

(((Hugs)))

Spring and a little Easter Vingette

Happy Saturday my friends ~

It is just beautiful here in Ontario.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing and so is my heart ~

I've been fluffing and puttering around the Vintage household.  I am taking a break from painting ~

My heart is singing ~ Spring is here~! Spring is here~! 

A little Easter vignette ~

Mr. Vintage bought me this Easter Lily ~ so pretty.  Just remember, for my friends who have pets, keep them away from your pets ~ they are poisonous to pets if chewed or eaten and can be fatal.

Mine is up on a tall cabinet, Chico can't get to it ~

I'm now going outside to enjoy this beautiful weather ~

What are you doing today?

Can't wait to hear

(((Hugs)))

Family Room is done ~

Happy Sunday my friends ~

The sun is shining and it is 61 beautiful degrees ~ I love this weather.  

Well, I finished the family room just in time to enjoy this gorgeous sunshine today ~

Well, here it is.  You must tell me what you think ~

I wanted this room to reflect us as a family.   A place where we can sit and relax.  Nothing fussy ~ just like a pair of old faded jeans.

There is definitely me in this room ~

and Mr. Vintage as well ;-)

Chico likes this room too ~ he think's Daddy's chair is his chair ~ hmmmm wonder who will sit here ;-)

I love this fireplace mantel

I brought in my little crib ~ I have longed for a place to put this crib.  Well, now it has a new home ~

I still have a little tweaking to do with this little sweetie, but I will fluff and fluff until I get it just right ~

Well, please tell me ~ what do you think?

We have been enjoying this room for the past couple of days and we just love it.

Can't wait to hear from you

((((Hugs))))

I'm in Love ~

Happy Sunday my friends.  This is my new farmhouse sign for my kitchen  ~ which is now finished.  Yeah ~!

You know where this is going ~

This is the kitchen before ~

It was yellow ~ I didn't care for it anymore

The walls are now Vanilla Sugar and the cupboards are Kitten White ~ swoon ~  I am in love

I picked this little cabinet up at an estate sale.  It is now our liquor cabinet.

I made an onion and potato bin out of an old egg basket and lined it with drop cloth

Mr. Vintage made this farmhouse bench for me ~ how I love that man ~ He makes me smile ;-)

I made a potholder out of drop cloth and stamped a little chicken on it.  You know how I feel about my chickens ~

Our little message centre.  Hmmmm dinner sounds good.  I wonder who is cooking?  

My enamelware utensil holder fits right in ~

BUT the best is coming ~

Whooo Hooo ~ we found a school house lamp and it came from a local school, St. Mary's Academy.  It was torn down quite a few years ago.  Well, we found this at an antique store.  I love it

There you have it.  My kitchen redo,  all nice and fresh and light.  I think I'll be cooking tonight.  I love spending time in my kitchen now.

I am almost done the family room.  So I will share that with you soon

((((Hugs))))
