upstairs bath progress
I finished the wall paper mural in the upstairs bath last week and I’ve been bursting to take a picture of it to share! I’ve just been really busy and didn’t have the chance until yesterday afternoon. The bathroom still isn’t done, but it’s far enough along that you can get the idea. This bathroom is teeny […]
design ramblings | decorating a small space
I just finished putting up the wallpaper in our upstairs bath, which is teeny-tiny, so decorating small spaces has been on my mind. When I selected the mural from Anthropologie, I know I was breaking a “decorating rule”. The one that says, “you shouldn’t use busy patterns in a small space.” The funny thing about […]
Lucketts VIP Giveaway
The Lucketts Spring Market is just weeks away and, as I shared last week, it’s going to be a little different this year. Instead of just a two day, Saturday-Sunday event, it’s going to be three full days, Friday-Sunday, with extended hours!

design ramblings | the painted furniture trend
Several readers commented on the fact that I didn’t paint the frame of the checked chair and the chair with the toile back. I was planning to write about that earlier in the week, but I realized that much of what I was going to say (write), I had already said in this episode of Design […]
French chair makeover
I have a lot on my plate for the next couple of months and my mind has been churning trying to sort and prioritize. When I hit these busy seasons, it helps me to get things checked off the to-do list, so I decided to get going right away on things this morning. Before heading […]
