Furniture Feature Friday – A Link Party
Sorry I’m a little late for FFF tonight. Not quite as late as last week, but I was scrambling to put the post together at the last minute. I have been fiddling around with the MMSMP site to get things looking a little bit fancier and lost track of time. Anyway, here are my favorites […]
Master Bathroom & About My Upholstery Skills
Now that Lucketts has past, I’m turning some attention to my next round of freelance projects, which includes giving my master bathroom a makeover. (Insert girly squeal that occurs when makeovers are on the horizon.) So, this is the direction I’m heading… It’s right off of the bedroom, so I want it to flow with what […]
Happy Ending & French Settee Makeover
A few weeks ago, my mom called me, excited about a message that was on my Facebook page. “Did you see the comment from Albert Crombie’s family?” I had to think a minute. From who? Oh yes! The bag!! As soon as I was at a computer, I looked at the comment. “Hi! I just […]

Furniture Feature Friday – Better late than never…
Today I was working on some photo shoots and stopped for a few minutes to check my e-mail. There was one from my mom. “Did you forget about FFF? Doesn’t it post on Thursday nights?” Well, yes I did. Sorry about that everyone. I’ve been in a bit of a post-Lucketts mode, which involves getting […]
French Cane Chairs
I’ve had my eye on a certain style of chair for a while. Oval backed, caned French chairs. If they’re affordable, they’re rickety or the cane is punched through. If they’re perfect, they’re too expensive. So, I decided to save up and sell my dining set in order to be able to buy four of […]
