barrel-back chairs
I bought these chairs back in January from an estate furniture shop. I loved the shape and, while the upholstery was done well, the fabric was not my thing. I intended to upholster them myself, but once Ruthie came into my life all of that changed. I turned over every upholstered piece I had in […]
welcome to wordpress
Believe it or not, my very first blog was started in WordPress. Had I just stayed there, I would’ve saved myself a lot of trouble, but I think it was a good thing for me at the time. I was on WordPress and felt pretty alone. I didn’t understand how to plug into the blog […]
shopping while hungry, snow & speculoos
You know the saying, “Never shop for groceries when you’re hungry.” Well, I went “shopping while hungry” so to speak.

There was a time, before the day of linky thumbnails, when I would click through each link and leave comments and choose my favorites that way. Unfortunately, I just don’t […]

If you aren’t close enough to shop at Lucketts (in Leesburg, VA), you can enter to win a “prize package” that will include one of my ornaments in addition to more shippable goodies from […]
{swiss miss}
I always hate the anticipation of having to drag a piece of furniture up my basement steps, rearrange my dining room and set up a photo shoot, but I am always so happy when I take the time and effort to do it. This is my latest dresser makeover, that is going to be the […]
