things have changed…
I’ve been needing to write this post for a while now, but the words were just never there. I have felt stuck with my blog for a few weeks, though, and I knew I would feel stuck until I made myself sit down and write. I need to tell you, my readers, that things have […]
mixing painted pieces in a room
I received an e-mail from one of my readers asking a question I get pretty frequently, so I thought I would write the answer in a post. Here is the question… “How do you decide what color to paint various pieces of furniture in a room. Do you paint each piece a different color or […]
ironstone, linen tea towels, quilts & more

Plantation Shutters for Mom’s Guestroom
If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know that my mom does quite a lot for me. She’s a huge part of how my business even got off the ground (not to mention all of the mom stuff she’s done through the years like diapering, feeding, and sending me to school.) […]
farmhouse holiday series | red wine risotto
