Vintage2Glam is my idea of reusing vintage goodies, and turning them into something Glam. I love taking vintage finds, and make them modern with wonderful colors and a vintage twist..... love to incorporate them into my own vintage inspired art an accessories. Pleased to say that my jewelry was worn my Ellen Burstyn in the movie "GRETA" starring Ellen and Hillary Duff filmed in historical town of Ocean Grove N.J.

Ocean Grove House Tour 2012




What a day! The wind, the rain, and the falling temperatures...... to think just a day or 2 ago the temps were over 100 and today in the mid 6o's.....Well that didn't keep many people from visiting The Historical Society of Ocean Grove 44th Annual House Tour. 

I was a docent for the tour this year as well as last year and must say I really enjoy doing so..... You can work in the morning or the afternoon, you get to tour all the houses or tents and be the first in line,......and you don't have to pay for your tickets....they are always looking for people to docent, maybe next year you may decide to  do so.....contact the Historical Society for details.

the sea was angry today, the wind was strong but still can't beat this view....

what  lovely gardens surrounded this home....

their was a vegetable gardens as well as flower gardens...

just walking from house to house you see so many interesting places.....

it really is a quaint little town..........

I saw so many interesting touches that I can't wait to find the perfect spots in our home to paint.

love how they built this collection of photos.....

so sweet want to paint all our doors....

in this Inn many rooms were wall papered and then details painted right over the paper.....

even on this rainy damp day the covered porch was really enjoyable.....

how could you not love this town........?

check out the size of this chess set....compared to the car above....

just loved this adorable cottage, originally it was a tent that they closed in and was it adorable............soft pale colors  owners surfboard used as art....





































                                                                                    
Even the car matched......


love the details on the porch and the soft colors.....some people just have that magic touch

this is the gardens and even a section painted right on the house..........

love the mix of old and new......

this was the home that I docent at today.....

it was so colorful and charming, you would want to move right in......



next year I will make sure I am available to work again....it was such and interesting day learning about the history of the homes and this town, and seeing how clever people are with their decorating both inside and out in their lovely gardens.
