The holidays are upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a mix of vintage charm and DIY creativity? Whether you’re decking the halls or shopping for that […]
We Carved Pumpkins with a Pressure Washer: Chaos Ensued!
Now that we’re a week past Thanksgiving and ~three weeks until Christmas, we figured it was time to post our pumpkin carving video here on the blog…ha! To our credit, this did actually post on our YouTube channel on Halloween. We just missed getting it posted over here. We blamed too much holiday fun. 😉
In any case, we had a TON of fun making this video. We haven’t laughed this much working on a project in a loooooong time (and that’s saying something!). But truly – what else could the result be when you try to carve pumpkins with a pressure washer?!?
We hope you have as much fun watching this one as we had making it. Happy Fall and all the things you celebrate this season!
Cheers,
JZ and Daniel
Tablescaping with Vintage Milk Glass
Hey there, friends! It’s hard to believe Fall is already here – this year has flown by! While we spend as much outside as possible in the Summer, cooler temps mean more time with friends and family around the table…making it the perfect time to indulge in the art of tablescaping!
Annnnnnnnd since I recently discovered the absolutely magical world of milk glass, I’d love to share why this vintage staple is a fantastic choice for designing tablescapes, especially as we embrace the cozy vibes of fall. While many often think of milk glass as classic white, it actually comes in an array of colors, from soft pastels to rich jewel tones and even black, making it a versatile addition to any seasonal setting.
I have now dressed up several tables end to end with milk glass filled with flowers–and it doesn’t matter which combo I used–the milk glass truly shined in every setting, effortlessly elevating the décor.
