Preparing Your House to Sell…to You
Every once in a while, I look at my home with a critical eye. Most days, I walk past all of the things that are undone and I don’t really notice them. It’s easy to get used to something in your home that is unfinished, broken, or downright ugly. I’m living right now in the second […]
Mirrored Side Table Tutorial…kinda
I received a lot of requests for a tutorial on how I made the mirrored side tables. Well, I was a bad blogger and didn’t take pictures every step of the way… …so, I made a video for you. I explain the process and share the information about cost, etc. This was a spur of […]
Raising a Creative Kid
I’ve had several people ask where I came from (in a figurative sense)…including my parents! A few months ago, one of my readers suggested that I share how to raise a creative child. Well, my boys are still toddlers, so we’ll see how well I raise creative kids, but I can tell you how my […]
A Scale, Spoons, & Halloween’s Over
After much work, two truckloads of trash, and a van load of stuff for the thrift store, the basement workshop is clean. We still have some organizing to do and a few projects to finish, but it will be so nice to have a clean and organized place to work. I would’ve taken before pictures, but it was terrible. Embarrassing, really. […]
A Desk, an Interview, a Photo Shoot & a Failure
That’s a lot to cover in one post and it’s a little bit of everything, so stick with me. I shared this desk in my post about becoming a vendor at Lucketts. It made its way into my possession on the day of the Junque Swap. I could hardly resist taking a piece of furniture. […]
Two Dreams
My blog designer interviewed me in July and asked for some of my goals and dreams. One was to become a vendor at the Lucketts Store and the other was to be featured in a magazine. I figured these were “wishes” more than goals and I didn’t actively pursue either one. In August, one of the […]
Guest Room Update & Bird Cage Makeover
I love my guest room, but it’s awkward. It took about three years to finally give my guests a comfortable space, but one thing was still missing. The poor person who slept on the right side of the bed has never had a nightstand. They’d have to pass their glasses or cup of water to the person […]
Mirrored Side Tables
I have been working on my master bedroom for decades. OK, about ten months, but it feels like decades. I still have a naked curtain rod hanging, sparse wall space, a dresser that needs to be painted and all sort of things, but I’m getting there! I was hung up on our side tables for a […]
