Mid-Century Pink: I love that LaToya is going to do a 1950's Housewife challenge! How neat is that??!!

By gum, by golly: Tasha makes the most amazing things. She is so inspirational and really embodies the vintage spirit by making many of the pieces of clothing she wears!

Vixen Vintage: Solanah has such talent when it comes to knitting-swoon! This is by far my favorite piece she has made-it just makes you want to perfect your own knitting skills! Wow-weeeeeeee

Retro Gran: It warms my heart when people put the effort to remember how wonderful dads can be, even television ones!

The Fiercest Lilliputian: There is no denying that Emma is a beautiful young woman. But just like many of us she needed to be brave and face her fear~she does so gracefully in this post.

Va-Voom Vintage: Brittany's tutorial on how to take a thrifted sweater and duplicate an outfit that one of the characters in the film The Help wore. What an outstanding job she did!

Celebrating {Father's Day} the Vintage Way

Father's Day is this Sunday here in the states. It is a time to remember all the dads whether in memory or by gifting him another tie for the office. Either way, in a society where many father's are absent either because of choice or by design, there are many father's out there who do an outstanding job at tending to their loved ones. 

I was raised primarily by my father after my mother's passing and he is one of my favorite people I have ever known. He has taught me it is okay to be imperfect, that being different is the best way to be, and that life is a journey. It is safe to say that I am a daddy's girl and I still am and yes I still call him daddy.

When I met my husband, within two months of being with him I knew he would be a fantastic husband and father. He set out to have only one child, but three babies later....hehe He defiantly is the type of father I believe every child deserves.

He isn't perfect, he isn't my dad, he isn't a super hero. He is exactly as he is-gentle, kind, fun loving, sweet, nurturing, responsible, and loving, All the things he was before he became a father just amplified three times! And I love every bit of it.

Today we decided to celebrate Father's Day for my husband since technically mama mistakenly booked a massive vintage event for the family to attend and yes, I didn't realize it was on Father's day! ekkk! But it's okay because now we have three days to tell him how much we love and adore him.

My husband is a simple guy. What makes him happy is having us safe, paying the bills on time, having a good meal, and drinking a nice cold beer. So, I figured the best gift for my hubby would be to take him out to a place he has been yearning to go to for ages! 

We went to the Manor Oktoberfest. Delicious food and scrumptious beer-perfect combination for my hubby. And you cannot get any more vintage than celebrating Oktoberfest (it began in 1810) and the closest we have gotten to so far is by going to this restaurant hehe

The bunny crew~hubby and the little ones 

I aimed to wear a pretty dress for my hubby because call me old-fashioned but when a woman dolls herself up for her loved one, its a special gift they are giving to them. Well, because of the impending rain I decided to wear my Freddies of Pinewood jeans (purchased on ebay for half the price!) and top (gifted by my Swing Sister). Hubby was pleased as punch and that made both of us happy. Score!

Of course it ended up not raining much but I think I still rocked the vintage casual look. What do you think? Do you have a go-too vintage look on bad weather days?

What plans do you have for Father's Day?

Bunny's Outfit

Top and Jeans: Freddies of Pinewood

Navy Cardigan: Old Navy

Handbag: 1940's Embriodered Fabric Purse: Vector Vintage

Accessories: Earrings, belt, bracelet, and scarf: Purchased in MO

Top 5 Favorite Posts from Bunny's Victory

For your reading pleasure, I thought I would share a few of my blogs top posts (of the moment because it changes often hehe). Just some background information for those of you who may be new to reading my blog~before I became Bunny's Victory I was The Musings and Adventures of a Pinup Mama. When I first began my blog I was trying to find my identity, place, and voice in this wonderful and beautiful world called blogging.

It took some time, patience, and lots of work but I eventually did and then I changed my blog name. I think it fits me better, don't you? So, because I switched blog names and addresses I know that many of you may have clicked on older posts, you may not have been able to read them and for that I am sorry. So, I included some older posts as well that I consider some of my favorites. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!

My Vintage Home: Making Progress....

Happy June everyone! Gosh, I feel like I have been away from blogging for the longest time! Eeek! I don't like being away for this long! But I do have a good reason! The painting process in my home began and we are now mid-way through. 

I feel as though painting is the foundation. Once you have that done then you can clean, organize, and redecorate. Of course we have met some challenges; rainy days, hot days, hubby's work schedule, my dad's schedule, etc. A project that I thought would take two weeks is now going into its sixth week. But the foyer, living room, kids bedroom, and bathroom are painted. We just need to finish the moldings in the dining room and hallway. I was going to leave our bedroom and kitchen for the fall but I decided to do our bedroom this summer as well. That will just leave us with the kitchen and front lawn to deal work on come September. The fall is usually super busy for us anyway so this way we can focus on those areas and it won't be as overwhelming.

A part of creating a home with your loved one is to compromise. Our home originally was painted with simple shades of cream and white and I yearned for some color. So we compromised-light colored walls and dark curtains and decor. That way hubby has his light colors and I get the darks that I love, plus it creates a fantastic contrast giving the home more depth and warmth as well.

For the foyer we choose a color by Behr called Full Moon. We added a beautiful shade of grey curtains to the foyer which has given it incredible contract. The the living room, dining room, and hallway were painting Sterling. Which is just a shade darker than Full Moon but it has made such a difference. It is like a light grey/blue and not heavy on the eyes. I am so pleased with the way it is turning out! Whoot!

We originally worked on the kid's room first. Their playroom still needs to be decluttered, organized, and set up for them to play in but their bedroom is about 90% completed. It was painted a shade of light blue and as you can see from the photo below-all three little bunnies sleep in a row!

I have to still hang their decor-their belly molds (each one has one), frames, and this super cute garland where you can clip on photos of their artwork. I chose sheep so I can put it over their beds and help them sleep. Cheesy I know but I couldn't help it! I will add a few more touches as time progresses to their shelves, but so far it is on its way to being done.

The curtains and wall you see above are from my foyer and a frame I purchased at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for the living room. Painting and redecorating is a challenge but trying to add something vintagey to each room has proven to be uber tricky! Hubby isn't a fan of things that are old and so we compromised and he agreed he wouldn't mind retro (new) decor here and there. Trouble is what to get and where to get it!!! Gahhhh!

So, that is what I have been up to so far! Do your spouses/partners have a hard time with  your love of vintage in your home? How have you compromised?
