Dinnerware, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Vintage Housewares Bake Holiday Memories With Retro Style

While summer is all about grilling, fall is all about baking. The onset of the extended holiday season means the kitchen gets a workout with flour-coated counters, mounds of chocolate chips, and spicy scents wafting through the whole house. For many, baking a batch of pumpkin bread or snickerdoodles brings back cherished memories of spending time in the kitchen with mom or grandma.

Angle Shades a Risky Yet Rewarding Choice for Decatur Kitchen Renovation

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty Leave a Comment on Angle Shades a Risky Yet Rewarding Choice for Decatur Kitchen Renovation

Bathrooms, How-To, Style Guides Betty 1 Comment on Style Me Sunday: DIY Eclectic Bathroom

We get excited about seeing your projects — really excited. Last week we received an email from a creative customer whose vintage-inspired bathroom had me itching to take a trip to the nearest antique store to re-do my own front bath. You might remember our featured customer from Friday, Khanh Morales. Khanh was more than helpful with detailing how she took a blank canvas of a studio bath and turned it into a showroom for her antiquing addiction. Read More »

With a self-professed addiction to flea markets, antique shops, and Craigslist, Santa Ana resident Khanh has accumulated all sorts of vintage treasures throughout the years. Not surprisingly, her home is a 1931 English Tudor. A studio was added in 2004 that matches the home’s style and included a half bath that was never completed by the original owner. Khanh recently tackled the completion of this space to include some vintage schoolhouse lighting.
