Can I be really honest with you? Like really honest? I almost tossed this blog post before I posted it. Had it been in the days before computers, I would have ripped it out of the typewriter, wadded it up and thrown it in the waste basket, many times over. It’s not because what I …
It has been a LONG time since I’ve restored a piece of furniture. As in a year and a half. A lot played into that, but I am delighted to say, I’m back! Now that we are faced with the heart of winter, I don’t know if I’ll tackle any more large pieces before things …
I think it goes without saying, that seasonal changes dictate a change in clothing. At least in most climates. Shorts and sun dresses are exchanged for sweatshirts and sweaters in the fall, while boots, coats and hats are required in the winter. But not everyone decorates their home seasonally. I get that. This fall was …
As I sit here and write, the wind is stripping the last bit of gold from swaying sticks outside. Fall has always been my favorite season, and I usually come out with a bang, changing up the décor, making way for pumpkins and spice and everything nice. Then, before we know it, a soft blanket …
I’ve been promising a nursery reveal for over a year now. So rather than epic, it feels a bit like old news. I’ve shared some sneak peaks of some of the smaller projects in her nursery along the way. The Sweet Rose Hook Rack that I made from an old drawer front can be found here, the Eiffel …
I made another embroidered pillow. Maybe you’ve noticed too, but embroidery is all the rage this season, so I’m right en pointe. If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll remember when I repurposed an old framed and thrifted piece of embroidery for a fall pheasant pillow a couple of years ago. (You can see …
You may have long given up on seeing the nursery. I know, I promised a reveal over a year ago. And I can assure you, it is coming. It is unquestionably the sweetest room in the house. I still am so delighted that I got to do a girl nursery. One thing I did in the …
Ever since last fall, when I was inspired by Joanna Gaines to collect vintage glasses for our kitchen, I feel like I have been on an open-ended scavenger hunt. I find a glass here, a goblet there, a few more glasses here and there. When decorating intentionally, and with a budget, you just have to …
I came into summer with expectations. Not absurd expectations, like winning the lottery, but summer expectations. I hoped for warmth and sunshine, which until recently we’ve experienced very little of. I wanted to hike and work on furniture projects; but both have been hindered by mysterious health issues. I hoped to get a lot of things done, …
There was a time I was only buying acrylic drinking glasses. We found several sets at Costco, and I reasoned, with a young family, that would be the most logical solution to inevitable breaks. So for many years we had acrylic glasses. And they weren’t terrible, but I started to feel a longing to be …
