another keeper
Thanks so much for all of the feedback on my horse. I’ve decided I’m going to keep him. You’re all a bad influence. You know that? Or maybe a good influence. I know I’m going to be glad I kept him. Maybe we’ll have a “name that horse” contest to win ornaments from my Christmas line […]
if wishes were horses…
You know those things that you see in magazines and spot in antique stores and pine after and always keep in the back of your mind? Well, one of those things for me has been an antique rocking horse. I’ve seen a few in magazine homes, perched on an elegant buffet or the top of a French armoire. […]
painting my room at Lucketts
I had an amazing day. It was busy, but I had a successful shopping trip and had dinner and a movie with my hubby. That’s a great day. I’ll share some pictures of some of my latest favorite finds in the next few days. As some of you know, last Thursday Mini and I set […]

I’ve struggled over the last year to know what to drop, what to outsource and how to best prioritize. The […]
resourceful or ridiculous?

Even my basement sparkles…and not because it’s clean, unfortunately. I also began working on my feature furniture pieces for the Lucketts holiday open house today. I started pulling apart […]
the art of styling
When I first started my business, I would paint a piece, pull out my camera and snap a picture of it…just right where it was. Usually the lighting was poor, so I used a flash. I would send the picture to my web designer and ask her to put it on my site. I didn’t […]
