It’s been a while since we’ve had a Decor Steals giveaway! If you haven’t heard of them…well, let me introduce you.

I’ve been eyeing large clock faces for a while, but the ones I liked were always really expensive and the ones that were affordable weren’t quite right. As I was strolling […]
Blank Canvas

I shared a few weeks ago that I found the perfect dining room chairs on Craig’s List. They were vintage oval-back French caned chairs…just what I have been hunting for.

More Fabric

We’re having a lot of visitors through the end of June and early July. For those who are lovers of Civil War history, you know this is a key week in my neck of the woods. It’s the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg and today was the anniversary of Pickett’s Charge. My dad […]
