1970 kitchen renovation | the new basement door
Things are really moving along with the kitchen now! Once the counters were installed, it was off to the races on getting the details finished. So, we’re a little behind in real-time with my blog posts, but I want to make sure I take the time to share each piece of the renovation. It doesn’t […]
stripping an antique pine baker’s table
Who is ready for a furniture makeover tutorial? I haven’t had one of those in a while, but you can find a bunch of old ones HERE! If you’re new here, working on furniture used to be my specialty. I do refinishing, painting, upholstery, repair, slipcovers, and all types of rehab. When I moved to […]

gifts from the garden
Between the rainy days, we’ve had some really lovely days and I’ve been getting out to do work in the garden to take advantage of them. I’m excited about getting more work done in the house, but it’s just such a disaster right now (with the kitchen renovation happening) that I find myself either painting […]
Lucketts Spring Market 2023
I feel like I’m going home in a way! The Lucketts Spring Market was a big event in my business for almost a decade and it’s so fun to be back. I’m just going as a shopper on VIP day, which is a lot less work than being a vendor! In case you have never […]
