I Am a Thief…
…maybe not in the traditional sense, but I felt a little like one. I just bought nine antique doors (several with hardware), an antique table with turned legs and casters, a stack of molding, and a few cabinet doors for $24.50. Does that count as robbery? (I call it robbery when the movie theatre charges me […]
Fresh Cupcakes
Before we go into my post for today, I want to thank you all for the wonderful comments on my post about design consultations. I am really excited at the prospect and I can’t wait to get to work on one. I must admit…I want to work on them all, but there just aren’t enough hours in the […]
Design Consultations & Design Star
I get a lot of e-mail with design or technical questions about furniture or room makeovers and have even had a few people suggest I offer design consultations.

It Won’t Fit In My Suitcase, but…
I couldn’t resist checking out a Goodwill while I was in Florida. The lure of never knowing what I am going to find was just too great. What if a sweet old lady dropped off a stash of ironstone? Or someone dropped off some cool farm junk? Or I found something I’ve wanted for a while? […]

Anthropologie & An Honor

Treasure Hunting
Whenever I take my three year old son with me to yard sales or thrift stores, I tell him that we are looking for “treasures.” It’s gotten to the point where he will point out yard sales to me as we’re driving around on a Saturday morning, because he knows a cool toy might be […]
Aria Ivory
Ah! Today is Friday and I totally forgot about posting FFF yesterday! I am visiting my parents in Florida and we went to Sea World yesterday, so it simply slipped my mind. Sorry to anyone who “showed up” and found their hostess wasn’t there. We’ll pick it up again next week. I found out last week […]
