Trip to Petaluma
Back in December, I took a whirlwind trip across the continent to the beautiful town of Petaluma, CA. One of my Milk Paint retailers, Genevieve of Gracefully Worn, invited me out and she certainly rolled out the red carpet! It was an amazing trip.

tutorial on making tutorials
I currently have a huge to-do list of tutorials to make for HGTV.com, so I thought while I was in the middle of making all of these tutorials, I would share some tips with you on making a tutorial. A tutorial on making tutorials, if you will. Good tutorials to be exact. 1.) Pick […]

a lesson from the dust bowl
I am going to admit right away that I am a bit of a nerd. Not as much of a nerd as my husband, but we do enjoy the somewhat nerdy pastime of documentary-watching. Our favorite documentary maker is Ken Burns. His documentaries move me, bring to me tears, make me want to travel the US, visit […]
