Mia Bella Vintage



My good friend Melissa at Mia Bella Vintage has a beautiful
older home that her and her husband have been restoring.
They are now in the process of selling their lovely home.

The other week i went up to visit Melissa
and see what else they have done to their home.
Unfortunately i forgot my camera! So i stole these
photos from Melissa's blog.

When i was at Melissa's i only put in one bit of decor suggestion.
I told her the dining room would look fantastic painted a
dark grey.  
Thankfully she was not insulted by my suggestion but
thought it was wonderful!
Here is the before of her dining room colour.
It was a pretty blue.. 
but i thought the room needed a hit of 
sophistication!

She just emailed me about loving the colour she chose!
This is the photo that she just posted on 
her blog.
I love the way it turned out!!



I also stole some photos from her past posts...
she is so talented! She built all these cupboards
by herself!!! This is a peek at her laundry room!
She really is unbelievable and way
too modest.


A sneak peek into the Master bedroom
I love this new light fixture she installed!



This is her kitchen.
Yes she really truly made
these cupboards herself!!
Sick isn't it???
She is also an amazing sewer! That was the real reason for my visit to her home.
She is to give me sewing lessons!
Way to go Melissa you are doing a great job!

Thanks for visiting and stop by Mia Bella Vintage for some inspiration !
