Good evening, all!  I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to make my picks tonight, but I squeak them in.  Kriste and I have had a full day of upholstery, sewing, painting and then she and her husband hung out with us for dinner.  We were all laughing and the boys were highly entertained and entertaining in turn.  It’s been a good, full day.  So, here are my picks from last week… This burled campaign dresser by Christina of Phoenix Restoration is stunning.  She totally did this piece justice by giving it a fresh look, but highlighting the original features that make this piece shine.  Well done.   Cami from Tidbits found this table in her grandfather’s junk yard.  I can understand someone not seeing the potential in it, but the faded paint, rusty hardware, X legs and even the warped top endeared it to me.   Lastly, Colleen from

Kriste and I spent our day traveling to Wisconsin!  Trips like these are always so fun.  Tiring, but fun.  So much of my work is done behind the computer, in my house or in the studio and it’s nice to get outside of that bubble.

Julie from Love my Simple Home shared this beautiful pine buffet (and all of those well-styled accessories) from North Found, one of her favorite haunts.  I just love everything about it!   DD’s Cottage & Design takes us to a European container sale at Altelier de Campagne.  It’s
