Vintage Inspiration # 99 Miss Gracie's House

Welcome to Vintage Inspiration...
the place where you can come and share your love for all things vintage
and stay, to be inspired.

Rene had been blogging for over a year when I started. She was one of my first "go-to" blogs for wonderful vintage white inspiration. Her photos have an ethereal quality, that draw the reader in and create an atmosphere of yesteryear. Each post is not only a chronicle of her life, but shares a "message" on living.

We've seen the transformation of her lovely farmhouse...





And we've gotten to know her through her posts on her wonderful family,
loving marriage, and her deep love for God.



We've seen room by room as she has touched her home
 with a soft kiss of white.



Rene's husband transforms her "vision" into reality...



And we've wished that we could have been there
for her yearly Barn Sales.



And now, she and her hubby have just completed their newest project...



This looks like camping in style!


If you haven't met Rene 
then please take this opportunity to go by and say Hello,
then fall in love with...


We had lot's of great inspiration last week.
Here's just a little.

Kimberlee at the Fancy Shack
shared her new light and bright Living Room Reveal



Jen from City Farmhouse shares her Dining Room Reveal.
(don't you love the grain sack stripe on the bench?)



And Jeannine from the Concrete Cottage painted this great old 
screen door in a damask design and turned it into a real work of art!

A Tale of Two Give Aways, and a Winner


Recently I received an amazing gift box from my very talented friend, Shelly Rollins of Bunglow Bling. I was one of the fortunate recipients of her latest Give Away, and I just had to share all the beauty that came from that package. 





Shelly creates wonderful romantic party accessories; from crowns, garlands, and cake toppers to lace jewelry. Her attention to detail is what makes her one-of-a-kind jewels so sought after.



Just one of her many beautiful pieces, this "Paris" themed hanging cone.






This was such a special surprise, filled with wonderful bits and bobs of lace and ephemera; I gently removed each piece of loveliness.



 Scrabble tiles say it all, Shell.



 Sweet birdie that will be moving into one of my nests.









Please run by Shelly's blog and take a peek on her sidebar of all the pretty things to choose to make your next party honoree feel like a Queen.



And to announce the winner
 of the French Bleu Vintage Give Away...




Congratulations to Honey at 2805
for winning this wonderful Give Away of a $50 Gift Certificate

Go have some fun!

xoxo,
