Happy Friday to you all! Whoot! Any fun plans this holiday weekend? I’m hoping to get to the pool one last time and get some more done in the family room. Otherwise nothing big planned here.
Today I’m sharing a blogger who is actually a friend of mine – and the funny thing is we live near each other have some mutual friends but only met when we attended a paint workshop together years ago.
It’s so nice to have friends close by who you can talk “blog” with sometimes. :) Angela’s blog is called Unexpected Elegance and her home is beeeautiful. I think you’ll agree. She has mad decorating skills and makes it all look effortless.
Her kitchen (with pot filler!) is so pretty and classic:
And I just noticed we have the same chandelier in our kitchens:
Told you she has good taste. ;) I love every single piece of decor in her home. Every one!
I love that Angela knows how to decorate but isn’t afraid to tackle DIY projects too. You may notice the door in the photo above. She took a regular hollow core door and made it into a Dutch door:
THAT is the kind of stuff I love. Taking what you have and making it an interesting and unique spot in your home.
She uses a lot of vintage finds in her home – she used to sell painted furniture and decor and I ALWAYS found something I had to have at her booth. I love how she used a barn door and some old legs to make this pretty table in her mud room:
She made a small area work really well when she made over that space.
So this one was one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen yet – creating that vintage stamped look on wood by using wax paper:
It makes sense when you go read and it is WAY easier than trying to paint all the words. Brilliant!!
Angela’s style is soft and light with lot of wood tones and it works so well together. Not only is her dining room table beautifully styled, but she made it herself:
She used a beautiful old base and then made her own zinc tabletop. It is SO cool. I’m not sure I’d have to guts to tackle that one but it looks so good I’d consider it. ;)
Lovely right? You can see more of Angela’s beautiful home here. It will be great reading while you relax this holiday weekend – I hope there’s some relaxing in there for all of you!
Have a great one and I’ll see you next week!
