(OMG – I have the best readers ever! Thank you for the empathy after my blue post yesterday.)

It’s time for another party! Congrats to the winner of last week’s Linky Party: Allison from The Golden Sycamore! She shared a gorgeous secretary in light blue. Amazing work, Allison!

Thanks for all that participated last week. It’s super easy to enter a picture so don’t be intimidated. We all want to see what you’ve been up to.

Here are the rules.

1. Please post a picture of your painted piece of furniture, vintage home decor accessory or interior.

2. Post a permalink (the link to the post), not the link to your blog.

3. Contest ends Friday morning at 12:00 a.m. I will post my fav next week.

Winner announced next week!

…Favorite Things Friday – Seltzer Bottle

January 18, 2013 By christen 2 Comments

When possible go vintage. Check out these awesome seltzer bottles that can add color & interest to your kitchen.

Etsy is a great place to fine items like this as well as barn shows and flea markets. My personal favorites are the blue/green ones.

Curiosity Vintage on Etsy is selling them for $68 a bottle, which is not a bad price for something old & special.

I give you permission to decorate out of the box.

3 Days to the Home & Remodeling Show presentation. Chalk Paint demo and I’ll be giving away 4 cans of Paris Grey Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Also, the winner of the 2 free tickets it Lorna Lee Orick! Email me offline and I’ll tell you how to pick them up! cbensten@blueeggbrownnest.com

…4ft dough bowl

October 18, 2012 By christen 5 Comments

My friend, Kristen, whom I met at Luckett’s Spring Market recently posted a picture of her amazing & very large dough bowl. I have one myself, but it wasn’t vintage and it was not big. So, my OCD took over and I went on a mad hunt for an extra large, extra old dough bowl. Check out what I found.
