French Vintage Decor Book Anniversary + Giveaway
It’s the one-year anniversary of my book, French Vintage Decor, that includes 70 DIY projects and I’m giving away a signed copy of my book along with a paint kit!

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since my book, French Vintage Decor, was published! In June 2018, after a year of incredibly hard work, my baby was born (and now I understand why authors say their books are like babies!) Although my book isn’t a great fiction novel, the 70 DIY projects in it were very time consuming and my house looked like an explosion had happened between Michael’s and Home Depot.
I still have most of these projects throughout my house and love each of them. Some I sold because adding 70 projects in a small house was a challenge.
I’ve recently shared a video on the update I gave on my favorite project – the Trumeau mirror!
I’ve also recently shared a video on how to make the Plaster Dipped Flower Art project from the book as well.
Projects my blogger friends made inspired by french vintage decor
I’m so grateful that I many of my blogger friends helped promote French Vintage Decor and many friends also created their own projects from it as well! Check the list below to see all the projects that were made!

Vintage Gold Paint & Paint Kit with Fusion MIneral Paint
One of the most exciting things to come out of publishing this book is that I was able to create a custom gold paint with Fusion Mineral Paint called Vintage Gold. We also put together a Vintage Decor Paint Kit that can help you create a good portion of the projects I made from French Vintage Decor. It’s the perfect combination!

I’ve enjoyed your book very much and have done a few of the projects. But I love the revamp on the Trumeau Mirror and it will be my next project.
Thanks Donna!
Hugs, Jamie
Hi Jamie – your book is so beautiful. For me personally I really liked the framed mirrors and concrete pots. I have a few vintage ones that I want to try working on, and working with cement would be a totally new experience.
Thank you, Terri! There are so many things that can be made with cement! I want to try more soon!
Hugs, Jamie
I love all your projects!!! I hope I win because I will do something beautiful!!!
I tried to leave a comment for the contest…but…it wouldn’t let me do it! I have successfully completed the flowers with plaster and framed art work. I haven’t tried your paints as of yet.
Very interested though. I would love to try to make the updated Trumeau mirror next. I lack confidence in my ability and quite honestly out of comfort zone to do this project. The more I read your posts, you make me think more and more I can do it! The best part is if I don’t win, I will buy the book!
Thank you for your wonderful inspiration to make me try something new.
Janet
