HGTV.com Photoshoots

Today was about getting all of my freelance stuff finished and, I’m happy to say, I was able to do exactly that. I had a few final photo shoots and a lot of writing to tackle, so that when I get back from the SNAP conference, I can just focus on pieces for Lucketts. My […]
a balance, a baby quilt & a pair of chairs

Yes, I’m showing off more of my finds for the Lucketts Spring Market you’re going to get a lot of that over the next few weeks. It’s approaching fast! I still have some freelance things to wrap up, but I am almost done with those. This weekend, I’m heading to Salt Lake City to teach […]
Christmas in April

Yesterday I mentioned that Jeff and I went to the local tree farm and cut down a tree for my Christmas HGTV.com photo shoots. It was a pretty odd event…cutting down a Christmas tree just a couple of days before Easter, but I have gotten used to the seasonal confusion that happens in the decorating […]
Finds, Bread Boards & Mittens

It was a packed day. I started cleaning as I was getting ready for the day. I’m sure I’m not the only super-multi-tasker who tries to clean the sink while I’m drying my hair. I have a lot of due dates approaching and the boys have a few days off school, so I needed to […]

We must all be hitting the workshops as spring is making an appearance…although a somewhat shy appearance […]
1800's Linen Dresser

I hope you’re ready for some furniture makeovers, because you’re going to be seeing a lot over the next few weeks! I’ve got quite a collection growing for Lucketts. Here’s the 1800’s dresser with the amazing carved handles that I finished yesterday… It was pretty rough when I bought it, but I could see the […]
…in the works

This is when blogging and doing everything else at the same time is hard. I have a bunch of things in the works, but nothing ready for that beauty shot that makes the before and after posts so fun to share (and read, I’m sure!) So, today I’m showing a few pieces that are in […]
humble upholstery & an ornate frame

This chair has been languishing in my basement for a while…almost a year, I think. Sometimes I don’t work on pieces because I’m stalling, busy, uninspired or it keeps falling to the bottom of the to-do list. I think other times, providence plays a small role. I wasn’t really sure what fabric I was going […]
