I shared a post a few months ago about some of the projects I’ve done with burlap ribbon from www.burlapfabric.com. Well, today, I’m giving you the opportunity to win some (or something else that catches your eye!) Burlapfabric.com is giving away a $50 credit to spend in their online store. So, what kind […]
say hello to “Linen”
It’s time to introduce another one of my Milk Paint colors. Whew! Painting twelve dressers in all twelve of my colors has taken longer than I thought it would. I want all of my pieces to be special, but especially these pieces that will act as the “online swatch” for each color. After this piece, […]
Where to buy grain sacks…
I received a ton of comments over the weekend asking where I buy my grain sacks, so I thought I would share. Unfortunately, I don’t have one magic hookup, but I get them here and there as I find them. I’ve bought a bunch from Pete, my fellow vendor at Lucketts. He doesn’t always […]

If you’re very, very observant, you may have noticed that my dining room table top looks a little different. That’s because I finally broke down and refinished it. Again.

So, when I acquired this pair of chairs, I knew I wanted to use a grain sack to cover them. The […]
Laying Kitchen Tile

When it comes to tile, though…that freaks me out a little. I think I feel confident enough to tackle mosaic tiles in a small bathroom or […]
shadowing, veggie burgers & surrendering to curls
This post is a little bit all over the place. A tip about hand painting lettering on antique-looking signs, a little peek at the kind of food I’ve been eating as a vegetarian and some info on how I’m wearing my hair lately. Some bloggers have a schedule (and I really admire those people), but […]
