It’s the Perfect Kitchen, but…
…it’s not “me.” You can put me down as the biggest whiner on earth. I have a big kitchen with tons of storage, nice cabinets, new counters, quality floors, good lighting…and I still want to do a total makeover. I have not shared a whole lot about my kitchen, because it’s not my taste. It’s […]
I Am a Thief…
…maybe not in the traditional sense, but I felt a little like one. I just bought nine antique doors (several with hardware), an antique table with turned legs and casters, a stack of molding, and a few cabinet doors for $24.50. Does that count as robbery? (I call it robbery when the movie theatre charges me […]
Fresh Cupcakes
Before we go into my post for today, I want to thank you all for the wonderful comments on my post about design consultations. I am really excited at the prospect and I can’t wait to get to work on one. I must admit…I want to work on them all, but there just aren’t enough hours in the […]

Before we get going, I want you to understand that this post is only a guide. The process is going to be different for every state and every business, […]
Anthropologie & An Honor
First of all, I am pretty giddy today. I woke up this morning, looked at one of my favorite blogs, Centsational Girl and guess what was there. A post about me. This is not a surprise to me, but it was still very exciting to see it there. Kate has an awesome blog and impeccable taste. Her […]
Treasure Hunting
Whenever I take my three year old son with me to yard sales or thrift stores, I tell him that we are looking for “treasures.” It’s gotten to the point where he will point out yard sales to me as we’re driving around on a Saturday morning, because he knows a cool toy might be […]
