the final coat & latest cow
There is a reason why I love painting and never quite latched onto quilting. Patience. I am a finisher and I like to finish in a day. If a project drags on too long, I get bored with it. Well, my patience is really being tested on these counters. It took a couple of days […]
Snow Day & Creamy Cauliflower Soup
If you watched the news at over the last few days, you’re probably aware of the snow storm that hit the north east yesterday. We were projected to get 10-18″, so schools were closed and people were racing to the grocery store and buying generators. Why does everyone act like they won’t be able to […]
how I develop my photos
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 […]

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 […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
What a week! If you read my blog regularly, you know I’m always up to something, but this week has been back-to-back DIY projects. Grouting Monday & Tuesday, upholstery Wednesday and working on counter tops today. I wish they were installed and done, but we made great progress. We still need to finish cutting the […]
