Green Velvet Crush DIY

If you can't tell I am honestly obsessed with old & vintage!   I have been on the hunt for the perfect pieces to paint or just vintage up.  Here in the big city it is hard to find old items or furniture that is not marked up insanely because it looks "vintage" so I take to the online garage sales.  I have purchased a few pieces already online and have made great contacts who now send me pictures first of any furniture they want to sell.

So let me introduce you to my new piece, my metal green velvet bench.

Isn't it a beaut???  I love the green velvet.  If you ask my husband he might give you a different opinion ;) 

So I do like it the way it is but my chalk paint personality came out.  I couldn't resist my white chalk paint.  The contrast of white and the vintage green is going to be gorgeous!!

Pretty in Plum

There is nothing more fabulous than fall according to me ;) I love sweaters, boots, bonfires, the leaves falling but most of all the warm tones of Rose gold.  I wanted to warm up my look so I changed my usual silver to Rosegold and filled it with a purple/plum Swarovski embellishment.

This is the first piece I started with!  I paired our textured oval link chain with a rosegold linkable locket.  The large plum embellishment next and the final piece...the mixed metal tassel.

I am also a fan of layering so of course I couldn't leave this beautiful piece all alone...

The medium Rosegold locket is really an eye catcher.  Simple yet spectacular. No crystals needed on this one.  I paired it with the ever popular Natalie chain and finished it of with a medium plum Swarovski embellishment.

Put them together and you have a plum spice latte that can compete with the best of them!

 Cheers to you and another fabulous weekend and week full of fashion, fall, jewelry and of course bubbly!

Who doesn't love to sparkle?

I am bursting with glitter and just can't wait to show you tomorrow what South Hill will be launching to complete our holiday line!  

Are you ready? Ready for the holidays?  The decorating?  The baking?  The *gulp* snow?? Follow my journey through christmas as I prepare to do more DIYs and inspire my home with vintage chic for 2015!

Crafting my vintage display

I love showcasing South Hill Designs at various trade shows and vendor events but what excites me is the fact that I get to design my booth!  Vintage is and always be my theme, so today I took to a few projects to really bring more vintage to the stage.

I have been looking for the perfect necklace display busts and just haven't been in love with any colours so I decided to refresh some that I had purchased from Michaels craft store!  They are PERFECT!!  With a little paint these are now EXACTLY what my table needed to tie the South Hill colours of white and grey together!






You are probably extremely curious as to what supplies I used to refinish this bust!  Well the good news is its very easy and the supplies are all available at Michaels.

I used Martha Stewart Multi surface Satin paint on the fabric of the bust.  I used an $0.89 foam brush to lightly coat the fabric.  

For the top piece and bottom stand I mixed a little of this black chalkboard paint into the white multi surface paint to create a grey. Martha Stewart does carry a grey but it is more warm with a brown undertone.

I found everything needed 2 coats to get my desired effect!  I can't wait to show you the table display with these beauties in it.  

Do you love?

The season has changed and its time to "fall" for rosegold.

Well Michael Kors set the trend for rosegold and South Hill definitely jumped right on board!  The leather wrap has a rosegold metallic finish with simplistic logo studs!  You can now also get a pair of just the stud earrings to compliment your full look!
