Vintage Charm Party #185 and May Feature of the Month

June 5, 2019

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #185!

But first, we'd like to announce our

MAY FEATURE OF THE MONTH:

Drum roll please..... Congratulations goes to

Kippi from Kippi At Home!

My friend Kippi over at Kippi At Home is a real Renaissance woman -- she does it all. In addition to her serious upholstery skills she can apparently handle wood working as well. Once unhappy with the view outside her office, she took matters into her own hands. The result: an awesome trellis creation including plants and solar lights. You can get the actual plans when you visit Garden Screen Trellis. Great job, Kippi!

Are you familiar with the term "whitewash" as it pertains to wooden furniture? The act of whitewashing furniture, while having been around for many years, is majorly trending right now; especially among those who love living with a modern farmhouse aesthetic. According to WikiHow:

Whitewashing is a type of surface covering that is used as a sealant typically on farms for the inside of barns and chicken coops ... [M]any people like the look of whitewash because it’s a thinner paint that allows the natural wood grain to show. It has become a trend to create a whitewash look for household furniture.

May 27, 2019

One way to enjoy potted plants, whether indoors or out, is to use them in fairy gardens. While fairy gardens have been around for many years, they really seem to have taken off over the past few years. And rightly so. I mean, why not create miniature whimsical worlds with teeny tiny figurines and small garden plants?

I resisted the urge for a long time, but the fairy garden bug bit me this spring and I now have not only one -- but two -- fairy gardens. While neither is elaborate, they’re both sufficiently cute and were super easy and cheap to make. So read on for my tips and tricks for how to make a fairy garden on a budget.
