kitchen backsplash details
If you missed the reveal of my new kitchen counters, you can see them HERE. In this post, I’m following up with some details about the backsplash. I thought it might take a few weeks to have it done, but I was referred to a local “tile guy” who was able to fit our project […]
kitchen counters reveal
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by HanStone Quartz. As always, all opinions expressed are honest and my own. I am so excited to finally share my new kitchen counters! More than one person thought I was a little crazy for replacing granite counters, but they weren’t my taste and we hope to live in this […]
antique finds from cannon falls
I decided it was finally time to start exploring my local area a bit more in search of new-to-me antique honey holes. I’ve been so busy with the house and the kids and just trying to establish a routine in our new city, that I haven’t been outside of the bubble of Rochester very many […]

A walk down Lucketts lane
This weekend is the Lucketts Spring Market and it’s the first time since 2010 that I am not there. Lucketts has been such a huge part of my business since the beginning, but it’s now over 1,000 miles away. It’s hard not being there, but I’ll admit that it’s nice to have a break from […]
