The Daily Swank – Shop for Vintage Green in Person!
If you happen to live in Sebringville, Ontario or close to it, you are in luck. Today’s Daily Swank brings you a fabulous "Vintage Green " store. May December Home.
This little slice of vintage heaven gives new life to Second-Hand Home Furnishings. I was so excited when I found this store and couldn’t wait to bring it to your attention during Vintage Green Week.
This shops whole purpose is to bring life to other peoples cast offs. The amazing owner and creator Barb McMahon has many great ideas of reusing vintage. I’m just amazed at the way she thinks. Not only does she work hard to create things for you for you to purchase but, she teaches you on her May December Blog how to turn things you may already have on hand into a new something new.
One of my favorites from her blog are these Silver Spoon Hooks The ones in the picture are mounted on old molding with a touch of new paint and of course the vintage spoons.
Talk about a cool idea, I know you’ve seen those old windows in second hand shops and some of those great flea markets you attend. How about turning it into something useful like this "wipe off window". Head over to Barb’s blog for instructions. This a great idea, I’ll be using very soon.
I admit, since I’m in the U.S. I’m taking notes and I’ll be checking out May December Home blog often. I wanted to show you this one last thing. "Almost -Instant Shelving" This carpenter carryall purchased from an auction, is turned on it’s side and becomes and instant shelf. This is a fabulous idea!
I hope you enjoyed today’s "Vintage Green" feature and I also hope you will stop by the May December Home Store in Canada. Please visit Barb’s website for an address and more information.

Great!! I love the spoon hook rack–looks like a perfect use of some old trim molding we have in the garage! Thanks for sharing.
