Farmhouse White Dining Room Table
I have been thinking about painting my dining room table top for ages. I never actually went through with it, though. Partly because of time, but mostly because I was a little nervous about painting it. Yes, I was actually nervous about it! I have never had an all-white dining room table and I honestly wasn’t sure […]
yardage required for upholstery
When I share upholstery projects here on the blog, I’m often asked about how much yardage is required for specific upholstery projects, so I thought I would share how many yards of fabric you common reupholstery jobs. Before I give those estimates, I’ll say that there are ways you can save on yardage required for […]
Eulalie’s Sky Dresser
If you watched the “prove yourself wrong” video, you already saw how this dresser turned out, but I wanted to give it a proper before and after post. Here’s the before… This piece really was a pretty one as is, but I needed a piece to paint and crossed paths with this one. I decided to […]

First of all, thank you so much for the amazing feedback on our latest video project! Just like the “yellow dress and the dresser” video, it literally popped in my head and then happened so organically. I am very much someone who does their best work out of inspiration, not on demand!

Sometimes I like to enjoy my pieces for a while, but I was really glad this one was scooped up right away. The buyer loved it when it was just a chalked […]
second landscape dresser | part three
I really should’ve thought of a better name for this dresser than the “second landscape dresser”. Well, I’m still working on getting those creative juices flowing. This happened after Lucketts last year as well. I was just totally drained and it took a while to fill that reservoir back up. It’s filling, though… Slowly filling. […]

I’ve mentioned my distain for the task of doing laundry on more than a few occasions here on the blog and even in my book. It’s not that it’s a horrible, draining, back-breaking task, but it’s never ending. You finish and there are already dirty clothes piling up in the hamper. It’s never done. And […]
