the chicken incubator table
Jeff just looked over my shoulder and said, “I bet no one has ever had a post titled the chicken incubator table before.” Well, Kriste and I filmed a Design Ramblings yesterday and I started editing it this evening only to find that we had two short clips of the video we filmed and that […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
Good evening, everyone! My mom, Kriste, and I worked super hard today to try to get the rest of my pieces painted for Lucketts. We got a ton done and, at three weeks out, I’m further along than I’ve ever been. I still have a lot of upholstery, slipcovers, sewing, etc. to do and I […]

My furniture does not get the first-come-first-serve treatment. So, even with a bunch of other pieces that have been […]

A couple of years ago, I was upholstering a channel back chair and I found the end of my rope with my $150 run-of-the-mill sewing machine. Don’t get me wrong. That inexpensive machine has served me so […]
the china cabinet on my doorstep
Usually I have to hunt for my furniture, but lately a few pieces have been finding me. That was the case with this china cabinet… An antique store owner who I’ve shopped from a few times stopped by my studio a few weeks ago. He knocked on the door. “I have something in the truck […]
design ramblings |episode 18 | succulents
I turned the camera on and pressed record before Kriste and I even knew what we were going to talk about. Kriste suggested something spring-related. Something about flowers… I chimed in, “Let’s talk about succulents.” So, that’s what we rambled about this week… (In case you haven’t been watching to the end of the videos, […]
