Furniture Feature Friday – A Cane Tutorial & Link Party
Our furniture get together is going to be a little different tonight. Instead of featuring some of my favorites from last week’s link party, I’m pleased to bring you a tutorial on caning furniture. Caned pieces are a staple in French decor and it always catches my eye, but what do you do when the […]
great finds, the one thing I won’t paint and a giveaway
I set out Sunday afternoon to hit an antique mall I hadn’t been to in a while. I really need to start building up a stash for the Lucketts Antique Market in May. Well, the antique mall I wanted to mill around in was closed. Like, forever. So, hmmm…I have a couple hours to myself. […]

French Feed Sack Chair
This is the post where I take a perfectly good chair, rip it to pieces and make it something that is totally “me”. This is the perfectly good chair. This is me ripping apart said chair. …and this is the chair now. Totally me. Frenchiness. Feed-sack-ish-ness. I know this won’t be everyones cup of tea, but […]
