farm table & hitchcock chairs
Another piece is finished and ready to wait in the wings until the Lucketts Spring Market in May! It seems so close, yet so far… Anyway, the finished piece is this antique farmhouse table… …and, though they are not 100% finished, these antique Hitchcock-style chairs I purchased last fall… For the chairs, I decided to tape […]
my favorite craigslist search terms
If you haven’t picked up on it, yet, I am an avid “craigslister”. It started with one dining room table about 9 years ago and it has become my go-to place to browse for furniture and other miscellaneous things. I love that I never know what I’m going to find. I love that you can weed […]

the counter, portraits, and color wheels
Thanks so much for all of the feedback on my craigslist counter. I know when I ask about painting or not painting a piece, I will always get a lot of comments and opinions! I usually have a clear idea of what I’m going to do with a piece, but I just knew I loved […]
