Vintage Chicks Market

June 10th, 2012 | Posted by Leah in Vintage Market - (1 Comments)

Two wonderful ladies, Leah’s mom Marilyn and sister Tanya, were sent on a mission by us! They hit the Vintage Chicks Market in Priddis AB, an hour away from Tanya’s home. Marilyn, who lives here in BC was visiting Tanya, and when Leah discovered this market we couldn’t help ourselves…we had to send them as our shoppers!! Leah spent Saturday morning texting back and forth with them as they shopped. We are so excited about all the treasures they found for us!! Here are some pictures they took along the way!!

 

 

 

 

We are so blessed to have family and friends ready and willing to help our junking  journey!!

Thanks Marilyn & Tanya!!

The Painting Begins…

April 17th, 2012 | Posted by Leah in Projects | Re Purpose Re Use - (3 Comments)

In the last week we have been able to “squeeze” in some time to start working on our projects! It also gave us a chance to use a new style of paint for us.  We started with a small side table, some cutting boards and a paper towel holder.

There are so many fun colours to choose from, but for these projects we chose Vintage White.

You do not need to strip or sand your project before you paint!! So exciting !! Their clear wax was not sticky and buffed up beautifully. We are so happy with how our items have turned out, you really need to try it !!

This is going to be the start of a beautiful relationship with CeCe Caldwell paints!! We are having so much fun using this paint on our projects. It covers wonderfully, is easy to work with and the best part…no VOC’s, non-toxic and no odor. For more information about this amazing paint and a list of all their colors and products check out www.cececaldwells.com.

Happy Junking

Something to Share

March 29th, 2012 | Posted by Leah in Projects | Re Purpose Re Use - (0 Comments)

 Good Morning!! While we are waiting to finish up some projects, we thought that we would like to share something with you.  Leah’s sister, Tanya Fehr, sent some wonderful pictures of things in and around her home.  Tanya has an amazing eye and you can see that through her pictures!!

This barbwire fence surrounds the acreage that Tanya and her family call home.

 

Tanya already had the shelf, so she added some beautiful knobs and created storage for her jewelry!! Fabulous ideas!!

 

 

 

 Hope these pictures inspire you as much as they did us!! Is there a shelf that you might have lying around that could use a transformation? Let us know!!
