original art |
There was a time when I didn’t care very much about original art. I actually went to a fine arts college, so I had the chance to attend galleries regularly. I think it was even required, actually… I’d stroll around the room, looking for a few minutes and then I’d find my friends and we’d […]
Butcher Block Counters
A few years ago, I wrote a blog post about my dream for our kitchen. I wanted to do a little something like this… Now, I fully acknowledged then (and now) that there wasn’t a darn thing wrong with that kitchen. The cabinets were a pretty hickory and the laminate counters were in great condition, […]
FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY
Hey, everyone! I am so sorry for all of the technical trouble we’ve had with this link party. We’ve been trying different link party tools and, it’s quite an involved story, but last week the code kept disappearing. My “people” are working on it, so we can have this running smoothly each week. For this […]
updated kitchen pictures
Before we dive into the pictures, I had to share something funny. My mom read my post from yesterday and immediately got her painting clothes ready. You see, she helps me on Wednesday nights when the boys are at Awana and she knew after reading the post that we would be painting my guest room! […]

Show Business | Part 3
I’ve really enjoyed writing this series, I just have to say! Sometimes it helps me a lot to talk through my own process. Sometimes when I’m feeling overwhelmed with all of the stuff on my plate, it’s fun to look through the pictures of the past and see how far this little business has come. […]
Showing off the wainscoting…
I showed off my new family room wainscoting a few days ago, but the hutch in the corner was bugging me a little. Even as we were moving the furniture back, I said to Jeff, “I think this hutch looks too squished into that corner and it hides all of the wainscoting.” “Oh no. I […]
soap and brush gallery
A few months ago, I curated some collections on eBay and shared them on my blog. Now, I’m refreshing the ones that were the post popular…adding even more inspirational goodness and, this time, including vintage and antique finds that are similar to those I use in my home. I found a set of French cane chairs […]
