pins 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…
Read Morefelt bulletin board
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 Morethe hand…
I purchased this hand a little while ago and I promised that I would explain why. It looks strange and I’m pretty sure my three year old is afraid of it. Here is my reasoning. Bringing random decorative accents into the home might be easy to do. Finding accents with meaning is a little more…

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 Morei like ceramics…
I have a weakness for ceramics. There, I said it. Whenever I find myself on the hunt for a new accessory for my home I always walk away with some sort of ceramic piece. This pear is simple, beautifully done and it was in the clearance section. That’s a no brainer on my part! It…
Read Moremy weekend finds
This past weekend I was able to visit some antique stores while visiting with family in the Duchess County region of New York. I hit the jackpot. First up are these adorable chalkboard labels. They are going to look great in the mudroom, don’t you think? Next, the hand. I know it looks a bit…
