*This week I am pulling out a never-released video from our vault! I am sharing how to easily identify and shop for authentic antique furniture, so you will NEVER be fooled by plywood, glue, or staples again. This video comes from our VIP client library that I have recently been pulling from to share with you every #FlashbackFriday, but this is such a good topic that I had to make a new blog about it!

If you enjoyed this week's content, be sure to give me a thumbs up and comment to let me know what you'd love to see next. I love helping people create hearts in their homes, so if there's a certain project you're working on, let me know how I can help!

We have plenty more exciting summer projects up our sleeves that we can't wait to share with you!

With love,
