two antique sofas
I’ve been hunting for a sofa for the studio for a few weeks now. I wanted one that has a great look for photo shoots, but is something we can also sit on or take a power-nap on…depending on the day! I also didn’t want to pay a lot for one, so when I saw […]
barn board to breadboard
I wanted to make a bunch of breadboards to sell at the Chapel Market, so I’ve been on the hunt for cool old boards for that purpose. I found a couple of beautiful old boards that came from a barn. They were about 8′ each in length and about a foot wide and they had lots […]

white bunting, the "green zone" & the prop shelf
Kriste and I have finally gotten through enough of the not-fun part of settling into a space and we’re now at the really fun stage of starting to put on the finishing touches and we can think through the details of the space. Something we’ve been wanting to do since day one is hang the […]
recent furniture finds
I’m pretty set on larger pieces like dressers and cabinets for the Chapel Market show in October, so I’ve been looking mostly for “smalls” and smaller pieces of furniture like chairs, stools, small benches, etc. Remember the theme is French Blue Farmhouse White, so I’m looking for pieces that work with that theme. Here are […]
