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.
First up is Country Living’s tips for finding the best antiques. I always enjoy antiquing and hunting flea markets during the spring season. How about you? I plan on visiting Warehouse 55 to find some art for my staircase gallery wall that’s in the works.
While we’re on the topic of antiquing, see how to use those architectural salvaged pieces throughout your home for unique decorating.
Be inspired by this Brentwood home that features a little bit of glamour. I love the light and airy living room!
Looking to give your kitchen a refresh? The English Home shares their best tips for creating that familiar and cozy country kitchen look. I think “bringing the outside in” is the easiest way to give your kitchen a quick pick me up!
Are you feeling crafty? Happy Happy Nester shares how to make pretty spring paper flowers that you can attach to branches that you find out in your yard. What a fun and economical way to brighten up the home!
As you start gearing up for gardening days ahead, consider adding some of these orange blooms to your flower beds and boxes. I’ll definitely be adding more dahlias!
Enjoy your weekend – February will soon be over!
