getting a craft/office space organized
I recently went through the process of cleaning out my craft room/office. I still have a few finishing touches to complete, but the hard part is done. I’ve organized and reorganized my office many times, but I finally came to the realization that I didn’t have an organization issue, I had a “stuff” issue. Too […]
Stella & Dot Giveaway
I was a cleaning fool today. I have been a little lazy with my house work lately and I finally couldn’t take it anymore. It’s amazing how nice a space looks when it’s picked up and clean. It was a lot of work, but it’s oddly therapeutic for me and gets my creativity flowing. Anyway, […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
As I looked through the projects from last week, three jumped out at me almost immediately. Usually I have to go back and forth between ones I love to narrow it down to three, but last week…there were three that I instantly loved.

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 […]
a poor paint job
I used to shudder at pieces of furniture that were poorly painted. Drips, major brush marks, streaks and chips. I felt like my paint job would only be as good as the previous paint job and I needed to sand it baby bottom smooth to make it right. Well, I have had a change of […]
