Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #194 and July Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #194
and July feature of the Month!

Thanks to all who linked up last week. And if you're new here, welcome! We appreciate each and every one of you who continue to come back and party with us. We're in constant awe of your creativity and talent. And once again we can't wait to see what vintage goodies, finds and projects you all have to share with us today.

But first, we'd like to announce our

JULY FEATURE OF THE MONTH:

Drum roll please..... Congratulations goes to

Debra from Common Ground

Our friend Debra from Common Ground is a vintage and hydrangea-loving woman after our own hearts. She so expertly shares with us her beautiful hydrangea bouquet in a lovely vignette entitled A Simple Centerpiece For The Garden Room. She uses a wooden ice cream bucket to hold her blooms -- hello? How cool and vintage-y is that?

Weekly Features

It's been difficult for us to choose just one feature each. Your vintage finds, vignettes and just plain creativity have been awesome!

Kathleen's Pick

Rebecca of Zucchini Sisters shares a great DIY tip for recycling thrift store frames that have glass inserts. Using a product new to me, almost like magic she DIY'd one into a frosted mirror! Stop by and check out DIY Frosted Mirror From Thrift Store Artwork to see how she did it.

Cecilia's Pick

Anita at Unique Creations by Anita shared How to Repurpose a Piano into a Bar/Drinks Cabinet, and I am smitten! What's not to love about this fabulous project? Anita admits that it involved a lot of work, but she shared her tutorial and what she learned in the process. Her hard work certainly paid off--visit Anita to see how she did it!
