hand painted bread sign
Let me start off by saying this was supposed to be a tutorial, but it won’t be. The reason is that I mindlessly deleted all of the process photos!! Ah! I try to keep my camera card “uncluttered”, so I delete all files once they are uploaded. Well, I got a little overenthusiastic in my […]
Christmas Dining Room 2018
I shared my dining room tree early last week, but it was before I really had the chance to dig into decorating for Christmas. Last week, I took a lot of time to slowly work on our main living spaces and, in the process, I decided I wanted to rework some things in the dining […]

I only put a fraction of ornaments on our tree and I didn’t have the creative capacity to work through figuring out how this home would best be dressed […]
Dining Room Christmas Tree 2018
Disclosure: This dining room Christmas tree post is sponsored by Balsam Hill. As always, all opinions shared are honest and my own. Several years ago, I pitched my artificial Christmas tree, purchased at a 75% off after-Christmas discount. It clearly looked artificial and shed worse than a long-haired cat. I was tired of storing it […]
