Furniture Feature Friday – Chalk Paint Giveaway & A Link Party
As most of you know, Blogger has been freaking out and unusable the last couple of days, so my post schedule is all thrown off. I was going to post FFF at the usual time last night and then post the Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint giveaway today. Well, given the recent events, it’s all going to […]
the decision has been made
Yes. I am going to sell my dining room set. No “maybes”. No “ifs”. No “mights”. It’s getting a tag on it and it’s coming to Lucketts. It’s not as easy as packing it up and taking it there, though. I never painted the last two chairs, so I worked on that tonight. I also […]
Delicious Chippy Goodness
Here’s my latest dresser… Here’s how it started. Sorry for the stinky picture. Do you see my boy’s shoes on the lower right? He was ducking into his “fort” as I took the picture. It was a standard Empire dresser and had some nice details. The legs are a little chunkier than I usually go […]

My husband always helps me with woodworking projects, moving furniture, running errands, proof reading articles, brainstorming, watching the kids, and setting goals. My Dad encourages me, was one of my investors and sat […]
Feed Sack Chair & Finds

The story of Annabel & Rupert
This is a story about love. A man who loves a woman. A woman who loves a blog. A designer who loves to create. I received an e-mail last week from a gentleman…let’s call him “Rupert.” Rupert had a request. His wife, let’s call her “Annabel”, loves my blog and he would love to surprise her […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites, Chalk Paint Party & Link Party
I have really enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful pieces of furniture painted with AS Chalk Paint over the last few weeks, so tonight we’re having a chalk paint link up in addition to our usual furniture get together. Sound good? First, my favorites from last week. Desks and vanities are what caught my eye […]
