{ DIY Brass French Country Faucet }

 Happy Wednesday pals! Today I'm so excited to share something with you guys I've wanted for quite sometime now...A new  KITCHEN FAUCET haha! Did you guess right?! Not many would, unless you're a blogger, interior designer etc.. Little fun fact, I've wanted a vintage brass french country inspired kitchen faucet for years now! We are constantly picking + junkies but never came upon  one sadly..I wanted something that wasn't super shiny but brass nonetheless.  Well, that's when Modern Masters paint crossed my mind...Come see the full makeover below!


 

This was obviously the before! I didn't hate the black but it blended into the copper tinged black granite countertops.  The faucet was distressed with bronzed brass bits already when we bought it from Home Depot a few years back!!

 

HOW TO:

• wipe clean
• take a mid grade sandpaper lightly to it. Wipe again after above step
• Paint { I did 3 coats}
• Seal with clear spray sealant If needed


 

SUPPLIES: 

•Clean rag
•Small fluffy brush
•Modern Masters paint
• Clear sealant 

 

I love how bright & whimsical it is, especially in a smaller space! The bright cheery vintage brass looks great with just about any decor or season. 


 

One of the reasons we didn't want a new brass faucet installed, was because I wanted an aged authentic looking brass...like the vintage pots holding the beautiful fresh flowers!




Side Note: Waiting on some fun pieces for these cabinets!

 



I hope you guys liked this simple DIY sink faucet makeover! It cost less than $20 & about 2 hours of paint + dry time. The end result is a fresh fixture for summer!! 


HAPPY Thursday!

{ Garden Fresh Flower Bouquet }

 Hey, pals welcome back to TQS! I've been craving spring here in Michigan & hoarding new spring decor in every inch of our little cottage since about March! We layed new sod, started weeding, bought 5 gallons of patio paint & bam standstill!!!! Oh, nooo not because we've been having too much fun, but because of MICHIGAN WEATHER  haha. Yup...snow has hit us again! Please pray for our sod haha eek! 

Anyways I've been craving spring & my friend picked the prettiest flowers from her country home! I was having a hard day physically with the vertigo & fibromyalgia + mentally with my uncle passing.  Instantly they brightened our home & mood!!

That got me thinking how a simple bouquet can add not only freshness but charm, decor & brightness to a space...even a messy stove!


Basically, anyone get  grab fresh flowers from one area or another, OR cheat & grab some $5 grocery store pre-made bouquets!

 

A fresh spring kitchen & a long Michigan winter! 


HAPPY Thursday!

{ Vintage Easter Kitchen Counter }

 Well, I'm officially that person who forgets a holiday is in three days...haha! I mean thing's have been  weird, but I can't believe I almost forgot about Easter! Anyways, so after I got home I spruced the house up cleaning & then I found a sign....You see it's normal in our home to find random decor pieces never seen before to be stashed all around the house!! Isn't that normal?.. I forgot I had this sign my mom picked up a few years  back, which was a  total relief! Relief because I have little Easter decor & needed to get a post out!!! Thankfully this piece went well with my other new + vintage pieces! Come see some quaint Easter inspiration below.....



 

Although I almost forgot about Easter, my love for cute bunnies run deep! I've had rabbits most my life..Starting from age 5. When I was attacked by a dog at two years old, I had ptsd from it. To help with the anxiety, we got a pet rabbit- Lucifer!

 

Plus they're just adorable!

 

You know I had to mix in some vintage goods! These gold rimmed  tea set is from my grandma. The rabbit pottery art from my mom. I love pottery art , if you didn't know..


 

I think loving rabbits & Easter stems from my grandma! She loved books & loved reading Peter Rabbit garden stories over tea & butter cookies. Mmm I can taste her Red Zinger tea & hear her old China clattering about...I miss her dearly! 


 

I only have about 10 Easter decor pieces, but somehow always use them differently! Maybe it's time to shop...


 

I hope you liked this Easter inspiration! It's a different spot to show decor but also adds charm to the countertops!
What's your favorite Easter dish to eat or make or style with. Decor or food, I need all the inspiration!


HAPPY Friday!
