anthropologie finds
We just got back from a week in North Carolina. We started out with three days at the beach, which was awesome. (I had crazy hair the entire time, but I just have to be at peace with that when I’m in humidity and wind.) My boys have never been swimming in the ocean before. They […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
I found some really great features for you tonight. There were a lot of great ones, but these three were no-brainers for me to feature. Enjoy the party! 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 […]
capturing hope
I’m not a portrait photographer and I don’t plan on expanding my business to include that, but I’ve been asked on occasion to take pictures for my friends and family.

what I'm working on…
As I shared yesterday, after a week of dealing with a lot of details of doing business, I was really ready to do something creative. So, I headed to the basement to work on some pieces that were waiting for me. The first piece is a great old kitchen cabinet that belongs to Kriste, my online […]

I had a lot of conference calls, administrative duties, e-mailing, etc. to take care of this week, which is necessary, but it sometimes bogs me down. So, today I took some time to work in my basement on furniture. I’ll show the pieces I was working on in a few days, but I spent the […]
