Table Makeover
I have so many things in the works and so few things finished at this point. I have babysitters coming for the afternoon over the next few days, so I can get some things in the “finished pile.” Here’s the first piece… I found this pretty table at a yard sale last week. Funny story…I […]
I had no idea…
I started my blog at the urging of my friend/web designer and a bit of a whim. I really didn’t know what I was in for. I had no idea… …I would have to be a hand model. This is a cruel twist, because I do not use lotions or cuticle creams. I do not give […]
Lucketts Finds & Matthew Mead
The last few days have been great in the treasure-hunting department. There was a huge community yard sale…more like a flea market…in a town near me called East Berlin. We headed over there early Saturday morning with the kids, in the hope of finding some antiques and vintage pieces I could take with me to […]
how to start a business on a tight budget
I was looking through my old posts to gather everything I had written about pricing furniture pieces and I came across this half-written post. I decided it was a good day to dust it off and finish it. The economy has hit a lot of families hard and SAHMs are trying to find ways to […]

Cherry Blossom Dresser
Here’s the latest dresser… …and how it started. For those of you who have “known” me for a while know that my business started out as a decorative painting/mural business. That eventually evolved into my true passion – antiques and refurbished furniture….well…and my blog and freelance writing and photography and sewing and designing… Do you […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & A Link Party
Can I tell you how much my heart went pitter-pat every time I saw a piece painted with Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint in last week’s party? We are starting a revolution!! Well, maybe not, but it’s really exciting. I think next week I’ll have a special link party for chalk paint makeovers in addition to […]
a little eye candy
I stayed up until midnight last night, finishing up a couple of pieces to take to Lucketts on Thursday. I had a babysitter this afternoon, so I went shopping and went to an auction. I have two completed makeovers and a bunch of cool things to share, but I got home too late to snap […]
