past, present & future
If you read my blog, you’ve heard the word “Lucketts” thrown around. It’s a small town in Virginia and, more importantly, it’s one of the greatest antique stores out there – The Old Lucketts Store. I am honored to be a vendor there. Well, they have started a new blog and are celebrating the upcoming […]
…and so it begins
The fury that is called “me getting ready for the Lucketts Market” is ready to kick into high gear. When I’m not sleeping, eating, or hanging with my family, I will be hunting, sanding, painting, upholstering, designing and going crazy in general. Are you ready to see a lot of my finds and makeovers? I […]

mom crafts, tile and dresser modifications

waxes & winners
I received a ton of questions about waxes following my Waxes 101 post. I thought I might. Let me say first of all that I am not a wax expert. I’ve been using furniture waxes for a few months, but my use of waxes exploded with my use of Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint and I just […]
