Winners and a Before & After
I have been flying through makeovers and have not stopped to take pictures of some of them…stupid, stupid, so I made sure I snapped a before picture of this stool. This before picture is horrible! It was late at night and I couldn’t get the white balance right, but it makes the after look even […]
Guestroom Updates
First of all, today I have the priveledge of being a guest on Chic Modern Vintage, so make sure you visit! I sold enough things out of my guestroom that it was really time to give it some attention. I sold almost everything on the walls and the chair in the corner. It was looking […]
Something For Me
As most of you know, I have been a busy girl making things for Lucketts, for my new booth, for clients and writing tutorials for HGTV.com, so my poor house has been neglected. I’m ashamed to say that there were a few weeks where I hardly cleaned the place. (I did clean my bathrooms, but […]

Ironstone 101
I have received a lot of questions lately about ironstone, what it is, and how to identify it. I am certainly not an expert, but I have been collecting ironstone for about ten years now and I have a pretty large collection (I’ve lost count), so I know it when I see it. I remember reading a […]
