More Stuff
I woke up this morning sluggish and had very little desire to do all of the work I had on my list. I didn’t want to paint any more. I didn’t want to crawl around on my basement floor, sanding, waxing, upholstering. I just wanted to work on things where I could sit down. My […]
Unstaged
I cannot believe the amount of work my family was able to get done today. The furniture pile kept growing and the project list kept shrinking. With all of the work, there is no way I could take staged photos of everything I’ve done, so I just had to snap pictures in my workshop. Here […]
A Special Lucketts Giveaway
We are in the thick of getting prepared for the Lucketts Antique Market. I took a break to open a lovely package I received from Jami of Freckled Laundry, though. She makes the sweetest stuff. She sent me some of her clay tags and a lavender sachet from Maria of Dreamy Whites. Love! Anyway, back to […]

Furniture Feature Friday – Chalk Paint Giveaway & A Link Party

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 […]
