Christmas Painted Mirror
A family tradition Christmas is absolutely my favorite holiday! The weeks leading up to the celebration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ is full of decorating, cooking, shopping, planning and fond memories. Some families drive into the forest to cut down their own Christmas tree, and make an evening out of decorating the tree together , other families might go see The Nutcracker, or go caroling. Our family has a tradition that I don’t think I have seen anyone else do. It is the much anticipated giant painted mirror in my Mom’s living room. My parents built their home in the 1970’s, and it has…

Christmas Doggy Stockings
D.I.Y. adorable, easy to make, personalized doggy stockings! Step by step! I might be a little obsessed with my dogs, especially because my two children are grown! lol.. The pups don’t seem to mind my attention, as long as it doesn’t involve sweaters or costumes! Since I was a little girl, and got my first dog (Barney) , I have always had one or two dogs, and currently we have 3! I am definitely a dog person. So at Christmas or any other holiday, I have to include them just like anyone else in the family. They get presents, birthday bones, Halloween costumes (which they don’t love, but…

Trash to Treasure Green Desk
What is one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, always rings true when you find a beautiful piece of furniture that is about to be discarded to the dumps, and you can bring it back to a beautiful and functional heirloom. I love antiques, but let’s face it, not every piece of antique furniture is easily transformed. Not the case with this little kidney bean shaped desk that was cosmetically in pretty rough shape. It had lots of water damage, and scratches, and some of the vaneer was peeling back. With a little elbow grease and a new vision for this desk, I was able to…

Crochet; A Craft From the Past
Hello everyone! Vintage Virgie’s daughter here 🙂 Brynna Finley While talking with my mom about her blog and all things vintage, it dawned on us, what is more vintage than a craft I’ve been doing since I was under the age of ten? A dying art form taught to me by my great-grandma Pulido: crochet! With a new skein of yarn and a minimum amount of patience, Grandma Pulido (Nanny, as I affectionately called her) and I went into her paisley living-room and she attempted to teach me the chain stitch (the foundation of crocheting.) We butted heads the entire time. A sassy little…

Vintage Pet Bed
My sweet 4 year old pup, “Oliver” loves to get comfy on my couch, he especially loves the top cushion on the right side. I would fluff and re-stuff that cushion, but he just kept breaking it down until my couch was so lopsided, that I had to get a new one. Needless to say the new couch is not as comfortable for him and I had to find a solution to keep him comfy. I was looking for dog couches and beds that would look nice in the living room, but WOW those beds are really expensive, upwards of $200 to $300! Not to mention I couldn’t find anything…
