the antique clock that finally came home
This story starts all the way back in November of 2018 when we visited Jeff’s family in North Carolina for Thanksgiving. I went to a beautiful local shop (The Mercantile in Knightdale, NC) to do a milk paint demo while I was there. This shop has amazing vendors and I wanted to buy so many […]
deep cleaning | how to clean a jetted tub
When we first looked at our MN home, I was excited about several features of this well-built house, but one unexpected feature that wasn’t on my wishlist, but probably should’ve been, was a deep, jetted soaking tub.

We will be making changes and tweaks over the next few days to make things even easier to find and navigate. Lately, I’ve been thinking about my decorating style and how it’s […]
A Fresh Look & New Prints
Notice anything different? I’m sure you do because my site got a complete overhaul! My business has changed quite a bit over the past few years and it was time for the website, blog, and online shop to reflect those changes. In addition, I wanted to make it easier to navigate all of the content […]
Home Stories | book review
Now, I have to confess right from the start that I am a little bit bias about this book. Months ago, when it was still in the works, I was asked by Kim to write an endorsement, which I gladly did. I had a chance at that time to peruse the book and I absolutely […]
five things | quick & easy decorating ideas for spring
As I’ve shared many times here on my blog, I don’t do a ton of seasonal or holiday decorating. I would just rather spend my decorating dollars on things I can use all the time instead of pieces that have a clear theme or window of time to be used. But, I do think there […]
