Decorating with Architectural Elements If you are like me (and I think you are a touch or you wouldn’t be here 😉 )you like old stuff. Old houses, old people, old ways. The thing is we can’t always have an old house or expensive old antiques. But we can add age to our new stuff…
I sat in the middle of the church and stared at the rows of heads lining the pews in front of me. Over and over I felt this strange but simple message. Your presence is enough.

Decorating between Christmas and Spring is a tough one. Today I’m sharing an easy rustic winter tablescape that we’ve had up since New Year’s. I have to confess that when I post on the blog I REALLY hope that y’all are going to LOVE everything I put into the blogosphere, but even if you hate this idea…
This picket fence serving tray has been designed in my mind for a while now. I told you guys it has been pretty quiet around our house the last month or so, but this is one of the very few projects I worked on and I LOVE it! Hopefully you will too! As you know I am…
Storms come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they blanket the Earth in a dark heavy downpour. Some are cleansing and wash away all the grey matter accumulated over time. One of the dark storms hit me towards the end of last year. It didn’t just show up one day, it slowly rolled into town…
It’s always fun to take a look back over the past year to see what you’ve accomplished. The blog is a lot like a digital scrapbook for me, recording project, events and thoughts. I often say it is my accountability source…it makes me get to all the projects floating in my head, work through my…
