Before I say anything else about today’s post, I want to thank to my husband. Without him, I wouldn’t be sharing what I’m sharing with you today. He helps me bring my plans and visions to reality and I truly couldn’t do it without him. I don’t say it often enough, but I appreciate not only all the work he does for me, but his willingness to even tackle the projects I throw at him at all. I really believe there {Read More}
Soft Cottage Colors for DIY Rustic Backdrops
August 10, 2013 by 3 Comments
A few months ago, I showed you some backdrops I painted and sold in my shop. After those sold, I made a few more…and those sold. A photographer bought a few of them for photo backdrops and someone else purchased a few to use at a baby shower. I love knowing how things I made will be used by others. Soft Cottage Colors for DIY Rustic Backdrops Originally, I was just selling mint green ones, so I decided to expand {Read More}

August 23, 2012 by 204 Comments
I didn’t plan to show you my farmhouse kitchen remodel until Friday, because I had a lot of photos to go through before posting about it, but my mom is going on a camping trip today and she wasn’t too happy when she found out she wouldn’t get to see my kitchen until she got home late Sunday night. I stayed up until the wee hours this morning finishing this post for you, Mom – I hope you like it {Read More}
Farmhouse Sink
July 28, 2012 by 19 Comments
I know that apron front, farmhouse style kitchen sinks are all the rage, but there are 2 reasons we didn’t get one for our kitchen remodel. 1) I’m cheap…those aren’t. 2) I already have a farmhouse sink. In fact, I have 2 of them. Both of my sinks are porcelain over cast iron sinks. One came out of our old farmhouse in Missouri and is a single sink with one side drainboard. It’s sitting in our barn right now. The other {Read More}

Every so often, you see something that you know has a story of its own… and stories need to be told. I’m sure this gal has a story of her own. I wonder how many sights she’s seen, traveling dusty country roads or along city streets. I can only image. Here’s my version of the end of her story. She’s traveled more roads than she can recall, and the miles have taken a toll on her. Her beauty has faded, {Read More}

Several weeks ago, I gave you glimpses of the project I thought I would be showing you within a day or two. I should have known that was a stretch, but I’ve been chomping at the bit and I guess I hoped if I blogged about it, the project would be completed sooner. Well, it took longer than I’d hoped and I really wanted to be able to photograph the room with a wide-angle lens, but there comes a point {Read More}
