White Gables Blog

For the love of all things domestic and farm-wifey-like! Here comes a post about making your own laundry detergent! I know, run!! But if you’re like me (lover of all things thrifty and homemade, but glamorous at the same time), you’ll love this too! Ok, so it’s not at all glamorous, but whatever! My mom […]

My bliggity-bloggity friends & I went to the city last night for dinner and ice cream, and, man, the company was much-needed! Excuse the horrid picture, but this is me, Kara, Janelle, and Beth… We had the best conversations – hashed over the “happy’s” and the “sads” and everything in between. Real, honest, open, whatever! […]

it’s old, perfectly chippy, iron perfectly worn, but not too much perfect for a little girl or a little boy who loves to snuggle and read in bed i scooped up this little treasure this weekend and just about died. i mean, how perfect can you get, really… unfortunately, there is no room in my […]

I’ve been a bad blogger lately, but I think I have good reason, right? It’s amazing how one tiny little fig-sized unborn person can just wreak havoc on a person’s body. I’m sure most of you know exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining (ok, I’m totally complaining), but I’m […]

Karli from RockyBella featured some of my re-do’s on her blog today! How flattered am I?!! She has some great crafty ideas (totally my kind of girl!), so go check her out! ~ ~ ~ The hubs forbid me to do any painting today (I’ve been wearing myself thin lately with all the projects I […]

I have a confession to make. I’ve been busy. And distracted. And I haven’t been getting my projects done like I normally do. I’ve been doing a lot of lying on the couch. And eating. And then feeling sick. I’ve been preoccupied with a particular little project. Only about 1-1/2 inches long but it’s changing […]

I just had to share these pictures taken byLauren Fisher of Elle Photography! This was a wedding that I helped to coordinate, and the bride was my good friend Jen’s sister. And what a gorgeous bride she was! It was the most beautiful day! Classic, simple, pink, and perfect!

Yesterday I showed you this little beauty that I was working on. My mom found it for me at a thrift store and it was originally painted a beautiful robin’s egg blue. Then some lost soul thought it would look much better painted this horrid brown with massive brush strokes in the finish! Shudder. So […]

I’ve been having fun with some little projects around these parts but you’ll have to wait a couple of days to see the results! The weather is unbelieveably gorgeous today filled with hanging clothing out on the line, cleaning up the messy house from the weekend, working on my “real” job, and helping (ie. watching) […]

Hello kiddies! You probably thought I dropped off the face of the earth! But no, here I am yet again. The past few weeks have been filled with sick kiddos, trips to the mountains with family, helping friends decorate, enjoying the early Springtime. All that good (and bad) stuff. Tonight I threw a surprise 30th […]

Remember the cabinet that I found along the side of the road for free? Well, I brought it inside and gave it a good cleaning. It must have been in a barn for years and needed some major elbow grease! We also cut off the decorative finials so that we could set it on the […]

Like mother, like daughter. I’m afraid I am passing my neurotic painting tendancies onto my child. Oh, well, I suppose it could be worse, right? She was pretending to paint our island… You go girl! And, onto a little project I was working on today. Just because I’m a project kind of girl. But I’m […]
