Another Door And More
Well, it seems like an entire stash of antique doors is just not enough for me. I had to buy one more today while I was out at yard sales today. I picked up this split barn door (hardware and cobwebs included) for $5.00. It is going to make a perfect closet door for my […]
Determination and a Treat
Can you believe I fit both of these lanterns in my suitcase and they arrived (on a plane from Florida) intact? I found them at Ross for only $12/each and I was determined to get them home with me. Mission accomplished. This is not a foodie blog, but I couldn’t resist sharing a simple and yummy summer […]
What I Look For
When I go shopping, I never know what I’m going to look for or what I’m going to find. There are certain things I always gravitate towards, but I go with an open mind and I am often surprised at what I come home with. These are some of the qualities that catch my eye… Pieces […]
A Tribute to Our Creator
This post is totally off-topic, but I thought I would give you a peek into my life as a youth pastor’s wife.

I Am a Thief…

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 […]
Design Consultations & Design Star
I get a lot of e-mail with design or technical questions about furniture or room makeovers and have even had a few people suggest I offer design consultations. I have thought about it, but I really felt like I work best when I can physically feel a space, but maybe I’m wrong. Wanna be my guinea pig? […]
