Deep Down Cleaning & Lemon Oil

I've been tackling some long over due deep down cleaning in our home.

Laundry: Simple and Basic

I've been doing a lot of laundry lately. For a lot of reasons, but mostly because our family of 5 are all present at home, for the first time in a long while. Which is a blessing indeed, but it seems that all the household chores are increased!

Vintage Metal Trays

As I was scrubbing up a cute set of vintage strawberry metal trays for the store last week, I realized I had amassed quite a collection myself! So I thought I'd share it with you today, and how I clean up these summer picnic essentials.

Cleaning My Vent Hood

Somehow when the world outside gets all clean and white, the inside of my house suddenly seems grungy! I start noticing fingerprints on walls and doorways, and fuzz and dust where I want to make things pretty. Not just the normal dishes and piles everywhere...the deep down grime starts bugging me.

Vintage Suitcases: All Dressed up and Nowhere to Go!

Fall is the perfect time to refresh suitcases, not that we are taking trips, but rather using them all around the house!

You've asked for it and now we've got it at Patina General.

House Arrest

I have committed no crime, but voluntarily put myself under "House Arrest".  For the past two weeks(Monday-Thursday, Fridays we've been at the shop) I've done my best to clear my daytime calendar (the evenings were still my usual schedulings) and stay at home to play catch up.
