Furniture Feature Friday – A Favorite, A Question and A Link Party
I missed our little get together last week, girls, but I was busy hanging out with Paul Baloche. I really enjoyed looking through the links, though, and there were a lot of beautiful pieces as always. There was one that knocked my socks off and she’s been featured here before… Ann Marie from Twice Lovely […]
Poppies at Play Presents The Parade of Homes – Stop #9
Welcome to stop number nine on the Parade of Homes presented by Poppies at Play. When I was first asked to do a house tour, I thought, “my house isn’t finished, yet!” I then realized that my house will probably never be finished and I don’t want that to stop me from sharing it with […]
Table Before & After
I love it when I finally finish a piece. This one has been hanging out in my basement for a really long time. An embarrasingly long time. The woman who owns “my” shop found this on the side of the road. Can you believe that? It’s an amazing piece! Anyway, she gave it to me […]
What I’m Up To…

Creating Signs with History
I’m linking this to SNS All About Crates over at Funky Junk Interiors. I love antique signs, but the cost is rising on the real deal. This is an easy thing to make, even for people who don’t feel comfortable painting freehand. One of the keys to creating a convincing antique sign is what you […]
Value in Everyday Objects
If someone had told some farmer in 1890 that his feed sacks would be covering furniture in high end homes 120 years later, he probably would’ve dropped his plow. I love finding beauty in everyday objects that are worn, well used and mended. The fact that an object is still around over 100 years later speaks […]
My Dining Room
Our house has come a long way. When I look at our mile long DIY wish list it’s easy for me to forget how much we’ve accomplished. This is what our dining room looked like when we first moved in. The paint on the walls was dingy, the wood floors were covered with nasty carpet, […]
