Our Doors to Storage home project, has been a bigger hit than we ever dreamed! I’ve even run across it on Pinterest a few times now! CraZy-Ness! Well, we knew there would be people who thought it was a pretty cool idea, out there somewhere. But we’re glad so many have loved it, and what’s more, have been inspired to make some benches and shelves, using old doors, in their … Read More
BOO!!
I had a goal this year, to have our whole homestead decorated for Halloween, by October 1st! So that we could enjoy it all the whole month of October. I also wanted it all blogged no more than a few days later. How long can it really take, to photograph, edit, and blog it? Apparently….9+ days. With my kids busy schedules, I’m in the driver’s seat, in gyms and … Read More
We’re guessing many of you love to see little home transformations, and creative spaces, as we do, and that’s just what we hope to share with you today. The photos we share will likely explain what we have done. But if you have just a bit of time, grab a drink of choice, and let us amuse you with a little more about the birth of this project.

I have been SO ridiculously excited about this post. And you all know what happens when I get excited! I babble! But I’m going to make great effort in not doing that, this time. (Deep breath. I can do it! I know I can!). I’ve just had to focus on getting our current $100 Gift Card Give Away together (located in The Big Picture ; ).
So, we’re talking Annie … Read More
We’ve been blessed time and time again, with wood to burn in our wood stove through the cold seasons of the year. Having a cozy fire going in our home, is definitely our preferred source of heat, and we’ve hardly had to invest much in keeping it going. Oak pallets are dropped and stacked beside our driveway regularly through the winter, by Michael’s supply company, who is always looking to … Read More
(‘Before’ thumbnail. The ‘After’ is a must see!)
This is the biggest piece of furniture I have refinished, yet. (Well, my husband did very kindly help me. I worked pretty hard on it too, though.)
But as big of a job as it was for my hands, it was a much bigger job, for my heart.
This is my mother’s dresser. My mother passed away very suddenly, a little more … Read More
(This post was published, and then pulled the next day, because I really wanted to revise it. I’ve never done such a thing before, and don’t intend to again. I apologize for any inconveniences or Errors it may have caused.)

I know many of you do not know me all that well, and others may have not known me long enough. But suffice it to say, my taste and … Read More
After sharing with you all the egg dying fun we had with the kids, I wanted to show you what we did with the eggs they dyed, and a little bit of the rest of the Easter/Spring decor around our home. As always, our little holiday tree ( or, branch in a bucket of bricks…lol.) is decorated. Mostly photos here – less chit-chat.
{O} did this arrangement … Read More
In addition to our continual progress of finishing the inside of our home since our major house reconstruction, we’ve had a continually growing list of ideas for smaller projects around our home.
One of them has involved this ladder inside our home.
It has been right here where you see it, every since we bought our home in 1995. What has changed a lot, is almost everything around the ladder. … Read More
BARTERING, can be a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Just look what I struck a deal for…..
How’s THAT for a WILD chair??
Sit and relax for a minute, and I’ll tell you the tale of how it became m-i-n-e.
I got it from my friend, Michelle, owner of Stitch A Wish Designs. (This is her blog, and this is her web site. ) Michelle is an amazing boutique-style designer … Read More
