I am so excited to introduce you to a brand new local store that is carrying my artwork! It’s called The Treasure Place and it’s located in the town of Intercourse. I don’t typically do wholesale orders, but after speaking with the owners about their vision for the store, it seemed like a perfect fit. […]

I mentioned that I’m planning on making a new headboard for our bed, and I’ve been scouring the internet for ideas. We currently have a queen-sized bed and have decided to move up to a king-size. We ordered this mattress and needed to either buy a new headboard or make one ourselves. Of course, I […]

I first discovered my love of painting when I started painting second-hand furniture for our house about seven years ago. Some of my favorite makeovers include this coffee table and this armoire,  Lately, I haven’t had much time to paint furniture, BUT I felt the itch a few weeks ago and stopped in at Goodwill to see […]

I recently changed up the gallery wall in our family room behind our couch, and I thought I’d share it today, along with some other inspiration pics I found online. As with most things I do, I didn’t think too far ahead with the layout of the wall. I just started hanging things and adjusted […]

I’m linking up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy for “What I Wore Wednesday” this morning! I haven’t blogged about what I’ve been wearing because it’s been SUMMERTIME and generally I don’t put a lot of effort into my wardrobe when it’s hot out. I just don’t have the energy. Plus, I’m much more excited […]

 Hey friends! Kohl’s has generously offered a $50 gift card to a lucky winner! I loved the clothes I found at Kohl’s for back-to-school this year, and there were a few more things that caught my eye while I was shopping…. Isn’t this bedding beautiful?? I’m thinking it would be perfect for Avery’s room. LC […]

  I added a few new pieces of art to the shop this morning! Here is one of my very favorites… I was experimenting using stain instead of paint (for the map) and, luckily, I love how it turned out. I want to try using stain as a painting method again. It’s so much fun […]

My artwork business has been growing and evolving over the past few years. What started out as a hobby and little side business for me has evolved into much more than I ever imagined. It has been a way for me to be creative and have fun with my art while staying home with our […]

I was noticing the pretty morning light around the house this morning… Thankful for the last few days of summertime, a hard working husband by my side, the chatter of kids playing house, and mercies that are new every morning. Good morning friends!

Even though I am a neutral-loving girl and am always drawn toward white spaces, I’ve been craving some color in my kitchen this summer. So, I finally did something about it. My sweet friend Wanda gave me this little table that she had painted and didn’t know what to do with. It fit perfectly in […]

Several weeks ago Kohls contacted me and asked if I’d like to participate in their Back To School campaign. I’ve found some really great things there like the dress in this post. I especially like the Lauren Conrad collection. SO, when they offered to send me a gift card for $500 for back-to-school clothes, I […]
