Summer is here and I have started my summer shopping! I happened upon a great garage sale yesterday, and regret not taking any photos. I was totally mesmerized and forgot! There were some fantastic items and I got some great deals! Things I didn’t buy and regret leaving behind were a large wooden blanket box, [...]
Afters and Updates
Hey everyone! I know I have been absent from the blog for a little while, and I apologize, but I have been stretched a little thin over the past few weeks. Getting ready for the 101 Vintage Supermarket has been so busy but the pop up opens today and I am all set up in [...]
Back to Blogging and Vintage Market
Wow, what a brutal few days! There was a DDoS attack (distributed denial of service) on the web host I use for almost two weeks that put my blog right out of commission! So, sorry for the lack of posts! I am so glad I can finally access my blog again! I am almost done some [...]

Shelf Styling

Organizing My Kitchen

Emerald Paint and Two Befores
I spent a lot of time working this week, and it paid off as I am very happy with my lovely emerald side table! This is my almost non-existent entry way which I plan to post about soon. So many headaches around this area of the apartment but I think we have a pretty solid [...]
Krystin Leigh Brinton
In pursuit of a more simple life I decided to do what I love full time. My home is my haven and when I am there I am surrounded with beauty and inspiration. I believe everyone should feel like this in their own homes and through upcycling, updating, and beautifying forgotten and abandoned vintage and antique furniture I create the pieces that will add artistry and originality to your home. I support other artists and crafters by buying most of the hardware, staging accessories and other supplies I use from Etsy sellers and crafters in my community. Everything You Do is A Balloon is me, Krystin Leigh Brinton.
