guest room in the works…
After finishing the hand painted “Bavarian” guest bed last week, I could hardly wait to get it up in the space. Swapping out the beds is a job I needed help with, though, so I had to be a little patient. Well, I did carry up the bed myself and started swapping them out, but […]

I’ve been a bit under the weather today, so I didn’t get a chance to pick favorites for FFF, but I hope you enjoy the party just the same. I look forward to picking some favorites next week! Here are the rules for our furniture get-together… 1.) Your post has to be about furniture. Please, […]
Cabinet up for Auction
I was recently asked if I could donate something to a local private school for a fundraising auction event. I sort of hemmed and hawed over it and dragged my feet. For some funny reason, I felt like I didn’t really have anything to donate that people would want to buy. I know. A lot […]

I had a living room full of stuff that needed to be sorted out today. Boxes of ironstone, boxwood wreaths and butcher twine, furniture and other things that have been delivered or bought over the past few days. I had a little bit of time this afternoon, so I picked away at it, selecting what […]
Here comes Lucketts…
I know it’s just the first day of March, but my sights are already set on the Lucketts Antique Market. It’s historically been my biggest event of the year. And every year I try to top the previous year…in the pieces I bring, the way things are set up, the planning and prep that goes […]
