…and the kitchen sink
When Kriste and I were out shopping a few weeks ago, she pointed out this amazing dry sink, buried under at least two other pieces of furniture. “That’s basically my dream sink for a room I don’t have.” “Well, let’s turn over that tag and see what we’re dealing with.” The price was surprisingly low.

When I decide to paint something, it doesn’t take me long to add the powder to the water and dip in a brush. Remember the Mora clock from Antique Farmhouse I posted about over the weekend? It looked beautiful as is, but how could I resist painting it in MMS Milk Paint Mora? A Mora […]
dear reader | to the one who doesn’t know what color to paint her walls

You may have noticed that I really like natural fiber rugs. Specifically jute. I love that they offer a neutral backdrop and a gorgeous texture to any space. They also fit with a wide variety of decor styles AND they are inexpensive to boot. I have a few different varieties in my house and studio… […]
Custom White Milk Paint Dresser
Remember this dresser I showed you a preview of last week? When I finished it, I put the hardware back on and took some pictures, but it just wasn’t working for me. The hardware just isn’t right for the piece and, while I love the blue & white quilt, I didn’t love it as a […]
