We are back from our camping trip & I cannot wait to share the entire experience with you all. The main thing I loved was the feel of crisp cool Fall air starting roll in. I am so ready for Fall!! Cooler weather, sweatshirts & falling leaves… as long as I don’t have to clean them up! … Read More
I’m back!!!! Sorry it has been too long, but I have been trying to play catch up mentally since my father’s passing. Grief is a sneaky S.O.B… I just couldn’t bring myself to create beauty in pictures, when I couldn’t find it in my heart. So thank you all for sticking around. Truly.
I was forced into creative mode a few months back. … Read More
Our kitchen nook gets a lot of use. Snacks, homework, crafts, decorating, meals, it all happens here. Our previous table was the perfect shape and the perfect size, but… it did have flaws. 1. Light weight / If anyone leaned on it (especially Chloe!!) it would lean or tip. 2. Laminate top over press board / Somehow the laminate would get slits or tears on the top and if any moisture touched it the table began to swell. … Read More

I especially love incorporating design oriented pieces that have stood the test of time. Good design, no matter the era, can look as fresh and new today as the day it was created. … Read More
The library has been a major flex space for us. Temporary guest room, equal parts dining room and office… We created the space knowing that when the addition began the existing builtins would remain, but the windows would become a cased opening. Basically this will be the main entrance into the addition from our existing home. Now that we have our plans and are moving forward with interviewing contractors, I decided to take the room one step closer to its future use. … Read More
Thank you all for the kind comments about the new Party Shack over at #ProjetFamJam. The before and after results were pretty major! While I knew that the paint and staining the floors would make a huge impact in the space, I also knew that furnishing this space would be just as important. The end goal, after all was to create a lounge-y area that would be great for entertaining… no matter the weather.… Read More

Sometimes the idea of a project is so good that I put blinders on to the actual amount of work that needs to go into it to make it happen. This is the story of one of those projects! When I first started working on #ProjectFamJam we knew the main house had to be tackled first, but in the back yard sat a cinder block detached garage that had potential. … Read More
