Butler’s Pantry Preview & Free Mrs. Meyers
As I shared yesterday, I’ve been working on the butler’s pantry this week and it’s coming right along. I worked on priming and painting it today, but yesterday I took of the doors, removed the glass shelves, and installed bead board and corbels to customize it and make it look a bit more like a […]
the enameled kitchen sink
The boys are in a sports day camp this week and that means I actually have concentrated, uninterrupted time to work! I know so many can relate to the challenges that come with trying to run a business from home while the kids are home all day. I regularly feel torn between doing mom-stuff and […]
repainting the primitive blue cabinet
The primitive blue hutch has been one of my favorite pieces of furniture for several years, but it is a little too primitive for my current home. The shape is simple enough, so I think it has more to do with the color and distressed, worn paint. I have been debating painting it for months […]
cherry picking
I hope you had a lovely fourth of July! We invited some friends over from our church and then watched fireworks from a vantage point near our house.

milk paint landscape mural | reveal

milk paint landscape mural
A few weeks ago, I shared my plan to paint a soft landscape mural in my dining room. The dining room is one of the smallest non-bathroom rooms in the house and it’s square with a large window and two large doorways, making it a little awkward. I feel like it needs something that is […]
tuning into what’s real
A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to go to a private island located in Rainy Lake in Canada. It’s a island owned by our pastor’s family and he invited us and another family to spend a few days there. I was looking forward to the fellowship, enjoying nature, watching the boys experience […]
