my farm table & cabinet painting prep tips
I received a few comments about the farm table in my kitchen. You could see peeks of it in my kitchen accessories post, so here is a full view. (Ugh…excuse the floor!) I bought it a few months ago at an antique store with every intention of selling it. I even put a tag on […]

I wrote a few days ago about my desire for a cow. Not the cud munching, bell wearing, milk producing sort. I had fallen in love with this inspiration painting and yearned for one of my own. I asked my friend, Laura, to paint one for me. I requested she work off the inspiration painting, but […]

grain sack chair – before & almost after
I’m stingy with a few of my finds…ironstone, grain sacks and French chairs mainly. I do part with them, but it’s always tough. If you ever buy a piece of ironstone or a French chair or something made out of a European grain sack from me, you can know I really, really loved it and […]
