grain sack chair – before & almost after
I’m stingy with a few of my finds…ironstone, grain sacks and French chairs mainly. I do part with them, but it’s always tough. If you ever buy a piece of ironstone or a French chair or something made out of a European grain sack from me, you can know I really, really loved it and […]
I want a cow
I’ve never been one to collect original art. I would love to own an original oil painting, but they’re expensive and I’ve never found one I love enough to splurge on. For a long time, I’ve had this picture in my inspiration file. (Home of Leah Anderson, photographed by Isabel Lang) What always caught my […]
Lucketts Buys
It’s hard for me to go to an antique market and not buy anything. At the Lucketts Antique Market a couple of weeks ago, I hadn’t bought anything at the end of day one. I was too busy at my space to run around and shop. The Sunday of the sale was more relaxed, plus I […]
I may just burst
I’ve had a lot of fun new things come my way in the past couple of weeks. I found some great furniture, three large doors that will make amazing signs, some goodies from new sponsors and a very special package all the way from Germany containing these… One of my gracious readers, who lives in Germany, […]
Gaining Creative Momentum
If you don’t like seeing pictures of my living room…avert your eyes. Pictures of my living room is all you’re going to get today. Whenever I finish a lot of work for other people, whether it’s custom stuff (which I really don’t do anymore) or making a lot of things to sell or writing a lot […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Just A Link Party
As this posts, I am sitting in a theatre seat watching the Broadway tour of Beauty and the Beast. I’m probably softly humming along to “A Change in Me” or “Home” right now…enjoying it immensely. Anyway, I was so excited about going to the theatre tonight that I forgot about Furniture Feature Friday!! Can you believe it? […]
Stenciled Jute Rug
I have a lot of wood floors in my house and rugs can be really expensive…especially nice ones. I suppose I could slap down a piece of Berber, but that’s not exactly my style. I found a jute rug on clearance at Hobby Lobby a few months ago. Jute is good…cheesy leopard print is not. That […]
A Winner, the True Value DIY Blog Squad, Thanks & Rest
Sorry I didn’t announce the Vintage Skye Giveaway winner on Monday as promised. I was toast after the wedding right on the heels of the Lucketts Antique Market. I even went to bed last night without posting on my blog. Gasp! I know. I actually get e-mails from people and my mom calls to make […]
