@apartmenttherapy Featured our kitchen again today in an article about Annie Sloan chalk paint. @anniesloanhome is so kind and also produces an incredible product. I love her emphasis on supporting local brick and mortar stores that build community around a love for making things both beautiful and one-of-a-kind. I would recommend Annie Sloan Chalk Paint again and again! 🎨 Our kitchen is getting a little extra love next weekend with an update! (It doesn’t involve paint- I already painted every surface of this kitchen😂) Can you guess what it is?

Is it possible for a couch to be your spirit animal? If it is, this one is mine. 🛋🐾🙈 I found this living room set yesterday on Facebook marketplace for $100. Two hours later, it was on our front porch. In that time, I listed and sold a few pieces of furniture we didn’t use anymore to come up with the money to buy this set that I knew we would love! 🌿 I recorded my first-ever Instagram live to share what goes on in my head when I style a space, so you can check that out for the next 24 hours if you’re interested! I also shared a sweet story about the woman that owned this furniture before us. I’m loving the cozy retro vibes out here in this space, and look forward to enjoying many evenings out here with my hubs and our friends! Check out my stories in the next 24 hours if you’re interested in the story of these pieces or some of my styling tips! (Also I’m in the process of painting this porch white, but if you look closely you’ll see some random teal paint on the windowsill.🤷🏼‍♀️I’ll finish covering it all up eventually!) 🛋 I want to know... what is the best vintage piece you’ve ever scored?

Guys. GUYS. Facebook marketplace really reached a peak today. See this loveseat? (that still has a bungee cord on it from moving it lol) It is a sofa bed. It has two matching tufted armchairs that are still in my car. It looks black in the picture but it is navy and white and in wonderful condition. It has a sweet story. I’ll share the full story in a post tomorrow along with the fate of the yellow couch (not selling- just moving it!) The porch is still in progress but this gingham dream just pulled together my design vision and gave me motivation to finish painting and styling! 😍🙌🏻🛋

If I could recommend one item to hunt for at thrift stores, it’s a trusty picnic basket. I bought this one my senior year of high school and painted the top of it to look like what I imagined a @riflepaperco picnic basket would look like. (My lettering has come a LONG way, but I’m still quite fond of the florals🌷) My favorite meal is good bread and good cheese. It’s our go-to picnic spread! I also loved the combination of our blue rimmed plates and peachy kilim rug. We’re back home now preparing to host an event tonight for the men at our church. What are you up to today?

We’re going on a picnic today! A lot of our dates in college were picnics. (My first kiss, which was with Ben, was on a picnic!😘) We celebrated our first anniversary with a picnic in our backyard just a few days after bringing home our puppy. If it isn’t obvious- we really like picnics. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Just grab a basket, fill it with some cheese and bread and something fun to drink (bottled apple cider for us today), then spread out a blanket and enjoy! The more European, the better 🗺🗼🍽🥂🥖🧀🥐🍇🍓🌿🌷

In case you missed it, I scored this record player cabinet yesterday for $5! I liked the way it looked, and thought it might be good for our record player. When I got home, I googled the name of the label on the back. This exact Lu Van Inc. record cabinet has sold multiple times on the Internet for $100-150! I’m definitely glad I didn’t pass it up after knowing that! My friend Briee and I are going thrifting in another town today. I’ll be sharing our trip on my stories today, so if that interests you at all be sure to check it out! If it doesn’t, keep on scrollin’ and have a great Friday!📻💛👍🏻
