Ironstone & Opera Glasses
My mom and I went out shopping on Monday and, while most of the stuff I bought is to sell, I can’t help picking through the ironstone to give myself first dibs! I’m also starting to hang onto pieces for the Luckett’s Spring Market in May. I don’t want to sell it all in the […]

This past summer, we did a renovation of our master bathroom. You can see the full details HERE. The renovation was floor to ceiling. Here’s what it looked like before. As you can see, it’s a small, regular bathroom. It’s not one of these huge train-station-ish master bathrooms. Since it’s not big, I wanted […]
Family Room Wainscoting
The family room is the first room I stepped into in our house and I’m sure that was planned by the realtor. I was charmed by the 1940’s part of the house – the glass knobs, original creaky floors and plaster walls, but it was the modern addition containing the family room, kitchen and master […]

FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY |
Well, for those who didn’t guess it, I’ve been hanging out with Shaunna of Perfectly Imperfect for the past few days and it’s turned into a longer trip because of the snow. Our creative brains are sort of fried at this point and we have stayed up way to late, but it’s been a wonderful visit. The […]
Mystery Guest & Snowed In
We’ve had a crazy winter here in PA, as I know many others have as well. Well, today, we’re getting hit with the biggest storm of the season. It’s been snowing all night and is supposed to snow all day. So, we’re snowed in. What’s so funny, though, is I have a wonderful friend visiting […]
