In the studio today
Gray skies and a rainy day. Perfection. A little pony-tailed girl still in her fuzzy-feet pj’s and a barefoot boy. Snuggly blankets, white slipcovered chairs, and a beautiful new pillow courtesy of my sister. Perfect for curling up and day dreaming. French cafe radio playing on Pandora. If I close my eyes tight […]
More furniture makeovers
So, I’ve been going a little crazy with the Goodwill furniture makeovers lately. Seems like I go through spurts where I don’t find/need new furniture, then I hit the jackpot and just can’t resist picking up cheap (or free) pieces that need a little love. The closet in our bedroom is tiny (and I […]

What I Wore
Ok, kids, it’s “what I wore” day again and, amazingly, I actually got dressed a few times this past week. At this stage of life, I am typically sporting a paint brush in each hand and a babe on my arm (and I don’t mean the Brad Pitt kind of babe), so taking time […]
Some old furniture
Last week husband came home a showed me a picture on his phone. “Should I pick it up?” he asked. “YES.” I said. And he went right out the door and brought this home. I know it’s ugly, but I was so proud that hubs saw the potential in it. It was setting along […]
Shop Update
Over the summer I was taking a break from taking new custom sign orders, but I am now officially starting to take orders again. In case you are new here, I make my signs using almost all antique salvaged barn doors. If you’d like to place an order or have any questions, contact me here. […]
True Story
If you were to walk past our house at any time and the windows were open (which they almost always are), you would probably hear me saying, “Violet! NO, NO!!”. I feel like I say this a million times a day. Sad, but true. The other day, she popped the screen out of one the […]
Studio Reveal
The studio is pretty much finished, and I have some “after” pictures to show you! Here are some “befores”, when it was an efficiency apartment that we rented out… And the “afters”… We decided not to paint the floors like we originally planned. We sanded the floor really well, then […]

Shop Update
I’ve added a few items to my Etsy shop in the past few days. This “Love” wood sign has been very popular, and I’ve decided to offer it in canvas as well. It’s generously-sized at 24″ x 30″, and I use high quality 1-3/8″ thick canvas. Each one is hand-painted and no two are alike. […]
