Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites a Link Party
All of the links were so great, yada – yada and all that. I know I say it every week, but I seriously could’ve picked at least ten favorites this week. There were so many lovely pieces, amazing makeovers, stunning rooms…it was really hard to narrow it down. I want to let you all know that […]
Tweaking
I am continuing to do some tweaking on my newly made over guest room. Most of the room is perfect, but there are still a few small things to take care of. Today I swapped out the mirror above the dresser with a framed piece of antique lace. I love this mirror, but it was just […]
From Bad to Worse to Finally Finished
I love it when I finally finish a piece that’s been taunting me every time I go into the workshop. I bought this piece for $3.00 at a yard sale. It was originally part of a vanity that was split in two and then separated from it’s twin. The piece was dirty, the side was damaged and that […]

Red Work & Winnings
My latest project snowballed from something to enter in the SYTYCD competition to a whole room makeover to looking like it’s going to be my favorite room in the house. It started out with some “Oops” paint and a long trip walking the aisles of a hardware store and turned into the hum of power […]
Save the Date and Other Things
I am about ready to push the fast forward button on my life for about six weeks as I get ready for the Lucketts Spring Antique Market. It is May 22-23 and is in the small town of Lucketts, Virginia. If you live in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, DC, or Pennsylvania, you should consider coming this year. It is an awesome antique market and, […]
