Finding Inspiration

You can find inspiration every day, every where.
It's no surprise that I was on inspiration overload in Old San Juan. 

The colors were delicious.




The doors were unbelievable, I wish I could transport them to my world.









Not sure if I love the style, the color or the fact that most are 200+ years old.

Cheers to inspiration - hope you find yours today!

NY Bound

When you read this I will be at the airport.  Today I am off to New York.  
Back to my home with my life -long besties.  
Just me and my childhood pals.

My motivation for spending the weekend back in the 'hood, is this guy.

 Please do not judge my stylish hair, circa 1997.

My Godson is now grown and going for his black belt in Karate.

He has worked hard the last 2+ years and has his final test Saturday morning.

I am excited to surprise him, hug him and cheer him on.

I will carve out time to indulge in childhood memories, pizza, adult beverages and I will be attacking this for my friend:

I guess I will be earning my stay!

The shoppe is open
Today - Saturday
11-4
All Maison Blanche Paint & Products are in stock!

Spring in the Shoppe

After spending a week in Puerto Rico, we returned to a beautiful, sunny and warm day in Ohio.  
We spent most of it outside.  
We were certain that Spring had arrived.

So when I spent Monday restyling the shoppe, I had Spring on the brain.  
Little did I know, temps would drop and the snow would return.


 I am loving green right now! 



New items have found their way in to the shoppe.



I'm excited to get in the shoppe today and play with 
the new Maison Blanche LIME Wax in Gray & Black.  
I look forward to seeing you today too!

At least it's Spring-like in the shoppe!

Open 11:00 - 4:00

Chevron Stool

Hello Friends!

We are back from Puerto Rico and back to reality.  
We had a fantastic time in the sun, sand and being tourists of Old San Juan.  
Don't worry, I won't post all about the 85 degree days, Pina Coladas or our sun kissed skin.

One of the pleasures of taking vacation is returning.  
A bit refreshed and recharged and ready to get to work.  That's just what I did.

Paint brushes were flying, power tools in full swing and a bit of creativity were just what I needed.

First item completed was this cute little stool.


We recovered it in the sweetest chevron fabric.  


The cast iron legs are spectacular - making this a heavier stool and dating back roughly 90+ years.


She's a beauty!
Will be available when we open on Wednesday!

Have a great Monday!

I'm Outta Here!

Hello All & Happy Friday!

It's especially happy because I am on a plane.  Yes, I am jetting far south and east and plan to soak up the sun, sand and warmth.  Perhaps when I return I will bring spring with me.

We have had such a great week at the shoppe!  
The energy has been so positive and fun, it's been a joy to go to "work"!  
Thank you All so very much!

Before I left yesterday, I made an attempt to overstock the store with new vintage goodies.  
Here's another look inside.

Remember this baby?  


Here she is completely restyled.  She is wearing Maison Blanche Mardi Gras.
Great shoe storage, perfect for a mudroom.  
It has all the shelves, I just removed a few to showcase the Ironstone.


This fabulous wooden trunk is making its debut.

I added this antique chair to the mix.  It's being offered as found.
A pair of these would be perfect just about anywhere.
Pops of color and more pillows are in the shoppe.

And if you have ever been in my work/class area, then you might be shocked that it's almost tidy.
Maison Blanche Products are stocked and ready for your long weekend projects.  We have sold out of Pecan and have several quarts and samples being shipped.  You can be added to our list and we will call you when it's in (vintagerestyled@gmail.com).  Everything else is in stock.

Our March Paint Workshops, including PAINT AWAY - bring your own piece, is in the shoppe.  
Stop by and reserve your spot.

Have a great week & enjoy your Valentine today! 

Shoppe hours: Wednesday - Saturday 11:00 - 4:00.
