dear reader | to the one who’s waiting for the next house
Dear Reader, Have you ever had a moment when you look around your current place of residence, make a mental list of things you’d like to do, things that would make you really love the space, and then you resign and decide to just wait for the next house? You can’t execute your vision or live […]
Megan’s office makeover | the reveal
It’s finally time to reveal Megan’s office makeover! Kriste and I met Megan, of the blog Mercy in the Middle, through one of our milk paint workshops. She then volunteered her time to help as we were getting ready for the Lucketts Spring Market earlier this year. She mentioned wanting some help with her home, so […]
creative space
This week has been “one of those weeks.” Not a bad week. Just a very busy week and things kept getting shuffled around…a doctor’s appointment I forgot about, a kid home from school, cancelled and rescheduled meetings.

workbench revamp reveal
Remember this work bench I picked up a few weeks ago? Here’s how it started… I almost passed it by, because it was a little clumsy. It was sturdy as an oak, but wasn’t a well-built piece, if that makes sense. You can tell someone wanted to build a workbench and figured it out as […]
How my business began | part 6 | when it takes off
The last two installments of this series sort of overlapped. In part 5, I shared about starting this blog. In part 4, we left off where the consignment store I sold out of was closing its doors. That’s where we’ll pick up the story. This was the time in my business when it was really […]
