I thought I would take a break from the projects and share a bit of behind the scenes stuff. For the first several months of my blog, I didn’t edit my photos. Not at all. I finally picked up on the fact that photos were important for the growth of a blog, so started adjusting […]
Butcher Block Counters
Last night, as I crawled into bed, I declared, “I didn’t post on my blog all weekend!” There was something liberating about that. I love my blog, but I recognize that I can sometimes be a slave to it and it’s nice to step away for a day or two every now and then. I […]
Copper & Tin Giveaway
There are times when I’m browsing through an antique store and someone asks me what I’m looking for. My response is almost always, “Well, I don’t know. I’ll know it when I see it.” I find that my method of shopping has shifted from wanting to get as many things as I could […]

Painted Cabinets
In June of 2011, I painted my kitchen cabinets. I had been itching to since I first walked through the house that became our home. Several things stopped me. Number one was my husband. He just wasn’t ready for me to paint over perfectly nice wood cabinets. Number two was that we had two babies […]
The Wonders of Grout
I actually had to dig this photo out of my computer’s recycle bin. I was embarrassed at the gaps and, while I had faith in grout and caulk, I wasn’t eager to share the full frontal shot of my first tile job. So, instead I showed shots where my imperfections weren’t so in-your-face. Well, here’s what that […]
