living room updates

As I shared yesterday, I worked on cleaning out the dining room and that turned into polishing up some other areas in the house that have been unfinished. One of those spots was the wall with the pine hutch in the living room… I hung my small collection of German stag antlers on either side […]
stairway gallery wall

When we first move in, we all made a big push to get things unboxed and put away. (Or at least put in a spot that made some amount of sense.) But, as the weeks have gone by, I admit I’ve slowed down a bit. There is still plenty that needs to be sorted, organized. […]
Furniture Feature Friday | no. 2
As I’m sitting here, looking through the #FurnitureFeatureFriday2 feed, it’s snowing outside. I know there is a collective groan in Minnesota, but I am enjoy the magic of the snow falling in contrast to a flickering fire in the Living Room fireplace.

whitewashing a tabletop

I was going to think about THIS TABLE a bit more before I painted it, but I really could only imagine it one way, so I decided to go with that. Also, I had a new friend and local blog reader, Kellie, coming over to hang out and help me paint while our boys played […]
