Finishing Touches & $500 Arhaus Giveaway
We’ve only been in our home for a few weeks, so we’ve mostly focused on the big picture – painting the walls, giving the kitchen a makeover, and finishing the porch-turned-studio. But, as we’re getting settled, I’m also looking for those finishing touches that can be added to bring a room closer to completion. I […]
decorating above the kitchen cabinets
Decorating above the kitchen cabinets is something I haven’t given dedicated thought to for years! I do remember the time, though, when above the cabinets was prime decorating real estate. I had my kitchen looking like a Cracker Barrel with varying heights, carefully crafted vignettes, and lots of unique collectibles. We’re talking a vintage Coke […]
the “factory table” update
Since I’ve had a few people ask, I thought I would give an update on the “factory table” I purchased off of craigslist and stripped down several weeks ago. Well, I had plans to paint and finish it right away, but with cold weather looming, I felt it was more urgent to paint the kitchen […]

kitchen shelves & the butler’s pantry
Now that the cabinets are painted, I’m hoping to finish some other parts of the kitchen over the next few weeks. The freshly painted cabinets and walls are a great backdrop, but the kitchen needs some more texture and warmth. I am on the hunt for fabric to make curtains for the eating area, family […]
the next chapter
Change is a delicate thing. If you don’t change at all, things feel stagnant and boring. Been there done that. If you change too much, well then, you’ve changed. And not everyone is going to like that. I shared last year that my business was changing and even though I voiced it in a blog […]
