more of my office
My office/craft room has always been a “make do” space. It started in a spare dresser and closet and then took over half the guest room. When I started my business, it became clear I needed more room. My kitchen counters were always covered in paints, papers and projects. It drove me crazy and it […]
the battlefield
My posts are almost always home/furniture/blog/DIY related, but as I shared yesterday, we spent a morning at the Gettysburg battlefield as a family, so I thought I’d share some pictures from that We live about 6 miles from it, so it’s an easy thing to do on a nice day. As we drove to our […]

I want a nest
Do you remember a few months ago when I declared my desire for a cow? A cow painting, that is? Well, now I want a nest. I know…never satisfied, right? A few months ago, I purchased a new camera and have been hanging onto my old one. I thought I might want to keep it […]
French Poem Dresser
I’m so sorry, girls. I have totally gotten lazy about taking “after” shots of my furniture. I have to haul it up from the basement, move the furniture around in my house, gather props, stage the photo, take the pictures and then put everything back. It’s very time consuming and I have to have good […]
