Since I did the office/studio furniture shuffle in February, I’ve been sitting on makeshift desk chairs. At first, it was a Fench cane chair that worked pretty well, even if it wasn’t the best height or the most comfortable. But, I could slowly feel the cane seat loosening and it finally punched through (which was awesome for my self-esteem.) So, … Read More
restyled hutch
I have never really been drawn to the color of Jadeite, to be honest. It just wasn’t a shade of green I particularly liked. But, my tune has changed when it comes to that color! After using the Pioneer Woman “jade” pieces in my green and white summer tablescape last month, I bought a few more pieces and decided to … Read More
wet bar refresh
Sooo…we have this wet bar in our basement family room. It’s nice to have a little fridge down there for drinks and a place to put a coffee maker, etc. for guests (the guest room is right off the basement family room). But, I have to admit, I haven’t really been treating this wet bar like it’s a part of … Read More
artist’s guild, an engineering set & ironstone
I wanted to share a few more of my Gold Rush finds today. One of them is so simple, but it’s one of my favorite finds of the day. While I was touring the old schoolhouse/music hall, I found a stack of statement pads. The top one had been nibbled at and was in poor condition, but the rest were … Read More
custom seashell art
I decided to do a loose beach theme for the boy’s bathroom because it’s a classic decorating choice. Also, both of my boys love the beach and have fond memories of family trips to my uncle’s Myrtle Beach condo. My oldest son would live in the surf while we were there. I also have a ton of shells that have … Read More
how to make a custom shower curtain
As I shared in boy’s bathroom refresh, I made a custom shower curtain out of a curtain panel from Calvin’s former room in our PA house. And, as promised, I’m sharing how I did it! This is one of those sewing projects where you just need to sew a semi-straight line and you’ll be okay. For this project, I used … Read More
boys’ bathroom refresh
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Walmart. As always, all opinions and words are honest and my own. Believe it or not, there are rooms in this house that have been furnished, but are otherwise untouched. I haven’t painted the trim or walls or intentionally decorated them. One of those rooms was the boys’ bathroom. And, it was probably the … Read More
French Market Basket
I love French market baskets and have bought several over the years, but most of them have been sold. I have kept three for myself, though. I like to use them on top of tall pieces of furniture to fill the space visually, add some texture, and provide some storage for rarely-used bulky items. Before setting out for Gold Rush, … Read More
