the woman behind Eulalie
In my business, a lot of amazing things have come out of a random e-mail. Checking my inbox is so fun and almost addicting for that reason. I started working for HGTV.com through one e-mail and the milk paint line came out of an e-mail. The woman behind my branding, Reni, sent me an e-mail one […]
what we're looking for…
We’re still waiting for our house to sell. For those who think I’ll sell my house and we’ll move and it’ll be some big secret, you’re mistaken! I will be shouting it from the rooftops when our house sells and we are getting ready to move. I guess I may have to wait until the […]
family gallery wall
When my dad was stationed on an Army base in Stuttgart, Germany, my mom had access to a framing shop. She took some classes and started framing old family photos, eventually creating a huge gallery wall. It didn’t matter how many times I looked at those pictures…I would still lean in and study them.

This pair of “map cabinets” actually started life as modern laminate side tables. I had to do a double-take, because it was hard to believe how they […]

One family from our church saw some pictures I took of “Mini” and they asked if I would take Hope’s senior pictures. This family is […]
Antique Farmhouse Giveaway
I really love that some retailers are catering to those of us who love things that are vintage and antique. While I almost always prefer the real deal, there are pieces that are best to buy new for reasons of function or practicality or cost. One of the companies offering some great new/vintage home decor pieces […]
finding an "antique" queen guest bed
I’m still sorting through all of the inquiries about the bed that I received in response to yesterday’s post, but I think it’s safe to assume I’m going to be able to find a buyer for it! I also received a lot of interesting comments about the price of the bed, so I’m going to […]
