the new secretary desk
Yard sales are going on all across America and the other day I hit it big. It has happened before, like when I found an IKEA Expedit for $5. The free mirror on the side of the road does not count. As I was driving around last Saturday, slowly and carefully of course because I…

Read Morea little inspiration with the help of Sabrina Soto…
Off the back of my kitchen I have a three season porch. This area became the storage room as we went through our basement renovation. The renovation is now complete and the three season porch is once again empty, just waiting for a purpose. I’ve decided to turn it into my summer escape. Since the back…
Read Morepins of the week
I currently love Pinterest. Categorizing the ideas and inspirations you find online is so simple and effective. I had so many pins before we started the work on out basement. I used them to show our contractor, and now I’m using them as I go through all the projects I’ve taken on. Every day I…

One of my sponsors, The Felt Pod, generously sent me some felt ribbon the other day. I’ve never worked with felt before, and we are not talking normal felt at all. This is not the kind of primary color felt you find in your local craft store. This is 100% wool felt in an amazing…

Read Morerecycled pitcher…
In my effort to work with items I already have in my home and see how I can reuse them I have found my latest victim. I purchased a cookie jar, pitcher, sugar jar and milk pitcher a couple years back when I was in my “everything in my kitchen must match” phase. Fast forward…

Read Moreeye candy
With the addition of a newly stenciled hallway I am on the lookout for some furniture. The space is tight but hopefully I can pull off finding something tall, wide and less that 14 inches deep. I ask a lot, I know. The problem is I get an image in my head and there is…
Read Morethe mudroom {during}
I now have a mudroom. It is no longer a mudroom/laundry room with four piles of dirty laundry on the floor competing with coats and shoes and everything else. It is just a mudroom. It is a little room with a big job considering we have two adults, three kids and now a dog (gasp!). Cue…
