on the truck to Lucketts | the furniture
Lucketts week is finally here!! It’s been my focus for so long that it’s hard to believe it’s happening in just a few days. It’ll really hit me when I see my stuff in the tent. Since I have been shopping for and working on pieces for so long, I thought it would be a good […]
look book two & new t-shirts
I have a bit of a reputation for getting things done quickly. I can crank out furniture and whip through slipcovers. But, I will fully admit that I am slow when it comes to putting out a look book. It took over a year to get the first one out and about a year and […]
last minute Lucketts haul
It’s getting down to the wire. I had an errand to run yesterday, so I decided to do some last minute shopping while I was out. The day away from the studio was good for me, anyway. There is still a lot to do, but sometimes I just invent more things to do when I’m in […]
how to make a ruffled bed skirt (with a no sew option)
I had several questions on how to make the ruffled bed skirt I had on the antique iron bed frame, so I thought I would make a tutorial. In addition to sharing a tutorial on how to make a ruffled bed skirt, I am sharing a no-sew option for those who either don’t have a […]

Christmas freelance photoshoots, finishing details for Lucketts, gardening…I’m a little all over the place. (Which isn’t totally unusual for me!) For the sake of starting somewhere, let’s start with lavender. On a whim, I […]
a new seat for the “bamboo” chairs
A few weeks ago, I traded for some furniture and ended up with these two faux bamboo chairs as a part of the deal. They are very unique chairs and I felt immediately drawn to them, but they were problematic. The caned seat on one of them was entirely punched through and the other one […]
the rebuilt industrial cart
I hope you had a good weekend! And happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there. We finally saw the sun in our part of the world, which was nice after a week of gray skies and rain. I’m hoping it gets all of the rain out of its system, so it’s nice […]
a calico, a black sheep & gwendolyn
On Thursday, Kriste, Katie and I all worked together to finish up the second 9 x 20′ mural backdrop for Lucketts. I painted a second coat on the lettering and Kriste added the grommets on the sides, top and bottom, which we’ll use to tie it to the tent poles. (Someone asked how we’re going […]
