controlling the chaos
Let me tell you, it’s wonderful working from home and being my own boss, but it really stinks when my home becomes a storage unit/staging area/photography studio. The story of my house the past couple of weeks has been boxes. They are taking over the front of the house! Plus I had a […]
shopping for tile
I mentioned last week that I returned the beautiful rectangular marble tile that I bought a few weeks ago for my kitchen floor. Well, here’s the full story. That beautiful rectangular tile I bought online from Home Depot was actually wall tile. I realized that after I unpacked it and threw all of the boxes away. I was […]
Patience is a virtue…
…and I know I’m really testing it! I’ve been getting a lot of “will you just sell the milk paint to me already” kind of e-mails and comments over the last couple of weeks. Here’s is why it’s taking so long… I thought it was just going to be ME selling the paint at Lucketts and […]

It was simply a matter of me totally forgetting what day of the week it was. I’m really hoping with the fall and a regular school/work schedule will come […]
my painting chair
Some people have their recliner or their rocker or their rolling desk chair. It’s a spot where they spend a lot of time and they enjoy the time they spend sitting in it. I have my painting chair. I “saved” it out of my Opa’s attic (that’s German for grandfather, in case you didn’t know.) […]
