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! […]
Guest Room & Ironstone
Last night I asked Jeff if I could leave early for handbell practice, so I could pick up some paint on the way. He gave me a look. “What do you need paint for?” I answered casually, “The guest room.” Usually me buying paint isn’t a questionable event, but I have a lot on my […]
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…

soap and brush gallery

I found a set of French cane chairs […]
installing a flagpole
About a year ago, we lost our flagpole in a storm…it may have even been during Hurricane Sandy. The flagpole bracket was plastic and a strong wind finally snapped it off. With everything else going on, it wasn’t a priority to put up a new flagpole bracket, but finally, when it was 18 degrees […]
Show Business | Tagging & Setting Up
Today I’m continuing the series on “show business”, aka being a vendor at an antique show/fair/market. If you missed part one, you can check it out HERE. In part two, we’re going to talk about tagging (branding) and planning the space. If you haven’t noticed, I’m a little in love with my tag. There’s something […]
Show Business | Part 1
As I’ve mentioned how I’m getting ready for the Luckett’s Spring Market, I’ve received several e-mails asking various questions about my process, so I thought I would share the answers with “the group” in the way of a series. I think we’re overdo for some information-heavy posts, anyway! So, here we go… If you’re happily […]
