Best Antiquing Tips, a Brentwood Home, and More: Friday Finds

Yesterday I spent some time outside racking leaves around the pond, gathering sticks out of the yard, and choosing a new spring wreath for my front door. I was so excited to see the first tips of my daffodils poking through the ground on the sunny southern side of the house. So I walked around the garden beds and noticed a few crocuses and grape hyacinths were also just beginning to sprout. It’s just what I needed after a week of being sick (I’m okay now).

This little rush of spring fever led to me changing things around the inside of the house – like bringing out my faux tulip bouquets and getting a start on spring cleaning. It felt so good to have some pep back in my step! While I’m in a good mood, let’s take a look at this week’s treasures from around the internet.
