Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
As I type, my brain is fried. Is it possible to write a blog post with only 1/4 of your brain functioning? Well, we’ll see how coherent this one is. My mushy mind managed to spot some great, family oriented spaces and pieces of furniture from last week. Here they are… My dear friend Kelli […]
monogram tea towel pillow
Some of you may have spotted the new Martha Stewart line by Plaid available at Michael’s. It’s been quite the buzz on the blogs lately. Several bloggers, including myself, were asked to try out the new products and tools and boy, did we get a big box of goodies to try. Here’s what I made… …a […]
my kitchen counters
Before I get into my counters, I must share that progress was finally made in my half bathroom. Remember? The one that was a disaster and True Value came to the rescue? They’ve done their part, but it seems like life and my work keep stalling things on our end. It seems like there are […]

So, while I was working on those, my “intern”, Charlene, was working on some stripping, sanding and painting. While getting ready to don a mask, she informed me that she wants […]

I like your food better than any food I can get at a restaurant.” Well, she certainly knows how to flatter a girl. I love […]
a new way to measure color
Imagine with me, if you will. You’re a designer, walking through an antique store and you see this gorgeous chippy table. The size isn’t right, but the color is exactly what you are looking for. Oh, if only you carried all eight of your paint color fan decks around with you, you could spend an […]
a closer look at Lucketts
One of my readers left a comment last week asking to see some more of Lucketts. Here I am, selfishly snapping away pictures of my own room when there are so other many amazing spaces to share. Well, I’m going to remedy that right now. For those of you who don’t know what The Old […]
