About Me:

I'm a full time Blogger and a former shop keeper/Antique Dealer (at Lucketts Store). My style is Vintage, I love mixing old things with new. I've always loved decorating and now that I've closed my shop space, I'm having so much fun working on projects for my own home again!

Favorite area of home improvement:

I love decorating with vintage and antique finds!

fabulous Cherry Idriss Fabric at Hobby Lobby and I wanted to make something beautiful with it, but still keep the pattern in tack.
