just my type
Excuse the pun. Those who “know” me, know that I have a soft spot for typewriters. I usually go for the really old Underwoods and Coronas, but while I was at the furniture shop last week, this little guy caught my eye. The color is so pretty, isn’t it? I haven’t restocked my […]
back in the saddle
I went out last week to a used furniture store and, much like a kid in a candy shop, I didn’t leave empty handed. Here’s my favorite find… …and a sneak peek at another one… They both need some work, but I think I can manage. I’m back in the […]
bathroom locker baskets
Thanks so much for all of the wonderful feedback on my half bathroom makeover! I love how it turned out as well and now I want my other two bathrooms to look just like this one. That’s not on the project list any time soon, but a girl can dream. I received a […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
As always, I was floored at the creativity, resourcefulness and talent displayed in the links last week. You girls are gooood.

The renovation that wouldn’t end has finally come to an end. As I was looking back over the pictures to prepare this post, I realize it’s taken a YEAR to get this 4′ x 8′ space finish. In our defense, we’ve had a pretty busy year and the half bathroom was just not a priority. […]
What now?
This seems to happen every year. I take down all of my Christmas stuff and I cannot remember what I had where. It seems like all of the accessories have disappeared over the holidays and I’m left with bare tables. I know things have wandered to other parts of the house, so I’m left […]
Jack’s Home
Most of the time I take my furniture to Lucketts or a fair, it sells and I don’t ever see it again. It’s always nice when I “hear from one.” (Especially when it ends up in the home of a professional photographer who sends me photographic proof that it found a good home.) This […]
technical difficulties, a cuff & some carnage
I must apologize for some of the wonkiness going on with my blog at the moment. You may have been “rejected” from my site (don’t worry, so was I) and some things are now missing (like my slide show of recent posts and fancy widgets.) We’re just experiencing some “technical difficulties” as they say and things […]
