blogging & writing
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks focused on the writing of my book and I’m finding it so difficult to write blog posts as well. I’ve been locked in my room in sweat pants, just writing. So, what am I going to share on my blog? Yeah…this is challenging. All of my writing and […]
the peanut scale
I don’t believe I ever properly showed off this peanut scale I purchased in the fall from one of my “pickers.” As soon as I saw the picture of it, I knew it would be mine. Oh yes, it would be mine. I have no idea why I have a soft […]
I Love Ironstone
From the moment I spotted a hutch full of white Ironstone in a magazine, I knew that’s what I wanted to collect and I have hunted it down for the past ten years. I don’t look for the high end stuff, though. I look for the bargains. Pieces that are chipped, crazed, stained, missing tops, […]
my apologies to Lowe’s
Since I don’t have anything brand new to write about today, I thought I would share some more details of my half bath makeover. First, my oh-so-fancy TP holder… I knew I wanted something nontraditional, so when one of my “pickers” sent me a picture of a wire fry basket (I’m assuming that’s what it is), […]

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. Here are some favorites… I think this painted console (and the entire room) by Erin from Welcome Home is so chic! It started out as a dated 1980’s buffet, but it now looks modern and […]
