Megan’s office makeover | the chalkboard wall
We are so, so close to finishing Megan’s office! Megan and her husband, JT, came to pick up the furniture from my studio over the weekend. Moving that wardrobe was quite a job and it was even a little nail-biting seeing if they could get it in the space, but they were able to and it […]
Basil Pecorino Corn Recipe
I shared this picture of one of our Plated dinners a couple of weeks ago on Instagram and a few people asked for more details on the corn side dish. This Basil Pecorino Corn was so delicious and easy, that I decided to make it again with the summer’s last corn and share the recipe. […]
living with raw wood floors
Back in November of last year, I had finally worked up the DIY gumption to sand down the oak hardwood floors in the front of our house. Once the work was all done, I decided to live with raw wood floors for a while. The polyurethane finish I had applied only a few years earlier was […]

Workbench Revamp

When I was shopping last week, I found this… I dismissed it at first, because it’s a little clumsy, but in the end, the finger-hold handles won me […]

My first year as a vendor at the Lucketts Spring Market was quite the experience. It started raining Saturday afternoon and didn’t let up until Sunday afternoon. Everyone was soaked, booths were waterlogged and it was pretty much misery. Sunday afternoon, though, the rain stopped and I had the opportunity to check out some other […]
