Summer Outfits with Walmart
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Walmart. As always, all opinions are honest and my own. I’ve worked with Walmart here on the blog for several years, sharing things from their home and craft department, but this time I was asked to share items featured in their fashion department. My days mostly consist of painting, […]
latest antique & vintage finds
Over the weekend, I felt the urge to get out of the house and explore a bit. My mom and I have hit a few local stores now and then, but with renovations happening and lots of work to do, I’ve been home a lot lately. I needed to go to the grocery store to […]
Antique European Mould Rack
When our kitchen renovation plans were in the very early stages, I had in mind that I wanted to find an antique plate rack.

1970 kitchen renovation | custom-built range hood
As I’ve shared throughout the 1970 kitchen renovation series, we hired out the large projects and decided to do the painting and finishing work ourselves in order to make everything fit into our budget. Jeff and I built a custom range hood for our PA kitchen (you can find the plans and tutorial HERE), so […]
furniture follies
A couple of weeks ago, on the high of shopping at the Lucketts Spring Market and finding some great pieces for our kitchen, I spotted a charming pair of chairs on Facebook Marketplace. Right away, I got those butterflies when I find something special. They are unique, and adorable, and would be so perfect for […]
