Cheryl Licht finds great enjoyment in creating things anew by sewing, and reconstructing old junk into treasures. She loves teaching and sharing new found revelation with listening ears. Cheryl lives in Alaska with her husband, four boys and one daughter and enjoys all things girlie along with camping and hiking in the light Alaskan summers.
Ever since we’ve moved to our new house last May, I have found myself pretty content with the furniture we have in our main living area. Of course, it is always subject to change should a more perfect and reasonably priced piece present itself. However, I feel the overall flow works in style, color, and family …
Some renovations are saved for, planned and researched for months or years ahead of time, and then some take place because you have a spontaneous husband, which is the case with the new lights in the kitchen. My husband and an electrician friend installed the updated recessed lights and some lantern pendants in the kitchen two days after …
I had just five minutes, but I wanted to take a turn about one of my frequented thrift stores, just to see if there was any new hidden treasure waiting to be rescued and restored. After all, it had been a week since I’d last been there. A lot of things can float in and …
Happy New Year everyone! Can you believe it’s 2017?! I’m dragging my feet a little as I do with every new year. It’s change after all, I’m not overly fond of change. And it’s January, which equates to total and complete utter darkness in our home by the mountains in Alaska (okay, so we get …
I wasn’t planning on this post, so it’s a mini, bonus-post if you will. Those of you who follow me on Instagram saw a sneak peak of today’s post last week. I was playing around, experimenting thinking about how I wanted the table to look Christmas morning. So then I thought, while I’m at it, …
Oh how I love Christmas décor. I knew this year would be different, having an infant changes the schedules of everyday life.

Several of Christmases ago, my husband and I were hosting a Christmas party for his work. We always love to really bless the staff at Set Free Alaska who pour our their lives in helping people overcome addiction. They are an incredible team of people. So I of course had fun making the house beautiful. I …
It’s that time of year! A little more sparkle and magic entices us, sugar tries to persuade us, and in Alaska, the darkness overtakes us. I have always loved decorating for Christmas, to a fault, actually. But this year, with children ages 10 to 3 1/2 months, seeing the excitement for not just the day, …
Several years ago my Dad came back from visiting his family in Wisconsin. With him, he brought home some treasures from his family and past. My siblings and I always love digging through the artifacts representing family and memories that were always at a distance from our Alaskan home. On this particular occasion my dad brought a …
I wasn’t planning on posting this week. Between life with a 3 month old, and overcoming multiple birthdays, and a dark Alaska that is tricky to photograph anything, I thought I had nothing to share. But I as I sat alone nursing my baby in the mom’s room at church on Sunday, I had an opportunity …
