the doodle book & an empty studio
Just in case Lucketts wasn’t exciting enough, this weekend is also the launch of my newest book – The Home Design Doodle Book! This book was such a labor of love, partly because of the content, but also because it was drawn/written entirely by hand! I had no idea what I was getting into when […]
the last-minute hutch
Going on a shopping trip for “just smalls” is a dangerous thing for me. I just can’t help turning over the tags of pieces of furniture calling my name! There were several pieces that I was able to walk away from and I almost made it out the door without this piece, but I couldn’t […]
La-Z-Boy Design Dash | Vote & Win
A few months ago, I was invited to be a participant in the La-Z-Boy Design Dash this year. It’s a design competition that starts with a sofa and ends with a day and a half of racing to claim furniture & accessories in a showroom to put together an entire space in a few hours that will […]
finished “French twins”
Now is the time when everything I started gets finished. Well, it’s also the time I buy new things that need to be finished, because it’s my biggest event of the year and I have to give it everything I’ve got, but that’s another post. One thing I finished this week was the sibling to […]
grain sack wash stand
Lucketts 2017 is definitely “the year of the hutch”. I have more hutches and large pieces in general than I have in previous years, but I am trying to round that out with smaller pieces that will be easier on-the-spot purchases. This is one of those small pieces that I picked up a few weeks […]
antique crib-turned-daybed
Remember this antique Jenny Lind-style crib I found on craigslist a couple of months ago? Well, I finally got around to sprucing it up and made it into a sweet daybed… The wood was so pretty that I decided not to paint it. Well, and spindles are a complete nightmare to paint as well, so […]
a trunk, a wicker chair & a side table
The studio has been a flurry of activity so far this week. It’s our last full week before Lucketts and we’re making a push to get everything finished, photographed, priced and packed. There are so many pieces that I haven’t even had the chance to share! A market scale, a barrel scale, an amazing clock […]
two-tone dresser
You know I love my blues, whites, and greens, but I can’t seem to resist sneaking one yellow piece into my booth at Lucketts each year. And I decided, this year, it would be this piece… It was a pretty little dresser, but the hardware was a bummer. One of the handles had been most […]
