sealing the crusty counter
I shared this crusty counter I bought off Craig’s List last week… It is a fabulous piece, but it was shedding paint chips all over the place and it was dirty and had quite a number of cobwebs hanging out in the drawers and corners. So, if I’m going to make it functional, it needed […]
the mustard seed studio
I signed the lease and got the keys for my very own studio yesterday. I’ve been talking and dreaming about one for at least two years. My business has always been spread throughout our house, wherever it will fit. It’s in the upstairs hall closet, the downstairs office, the entire basement, a corner of the […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
My mom and I went out shopping today, but I have to say I was pretty blurry-eyed after shopping all day yesterday with Kriste. You would think that shopping for antiques would be something I wouldn’t grow weary of, but I’ve learned that I need it in doses or everything starts to blend into the […]

the winner of the debate
If you’re up to speed on my living room, you know that I have been pondering taking down the curtains in the living and dining room. Yesterday, after this photo shoot, I took them down… The sunlight poured in and it was so bright and wonderful. I was convinced that I would go drape-free. […]
updating the living room
It’s been a tough week to get into a groove for me. On Monday, we took the boys to Hershey Park to squeeze some fun into the last days of summer. The boys were home on Tuesday, which was a day filled with cleaning, laundry, packing book bags and getting ready to start the school […]
