French Chair Makeover

This French chair makeover has to be one of my all time favorites! Almost nine months ago, I found a pair of fabulous 19th c. Louis XVI French gilt wood chairs at one of my favorite monthly estate sales. I love anything made of antique gilded wood and when I saw the chairs sitting outside on a porch area, I knew I had to have them. They were upholstered in very old burnt orange and olive green…

Collecting Vintage Santa Mugs

Collecting Vintage Santa Mugs

These sweet vintage Santa mugs are becoming quite collectible! When I was a growing up, we had a favorite Christmas tradition. Every Christmas Eve my mother would make a large pot of hot chocolate and we would drink it out of sweet little Santa mugs. Over the years, those mugs became chipped and worn, and eventually we stopped using them. When I married and had a child of my own, my mother passed…
