Remember the song that never ends? Well, the remodel in my entryway goes something like that. This is the remodel that never ends, yes, it goes on and on my friends. A couple started doing it not knowing what they does (hey, I needed it to rhyme!) but they’ll continue remodeling forever just because, This is the remodel that never ends…. You get the idea right? So, when we last left off, all the pallet wood walls had been installed and {Read More}
Drop Cloth Curtains for My Entryway: No-Sew Version
January 1, 2016 by 7 Comments
No Sew Drop Cloth Curtains Happy New Year everyone! I ushered in the new year at a local fun spot (roller skating, laser tag, etc.) where my daughter wa working, and m teenage son was attending the New Year’s party. It was chaotic and noisy with over 400 kids there, but I really didn’t mind at all. I’m not sure whether to call today’s project the last one of 2015, or the first one of 2016, but I haven’t decided what window {Read More}
Red Barn + Christmas Decorating Ideas in the Kitchen
December 17, 2015 by 17 Comments
Do you remember that beautiful red barn I photographed in the summer (seen here)? Well, I had 2 big empty spots on my living room wall when I sold the repurposed drawer shelves (seen here) so I made 2 canvas photos to fill the empty spaces. I took the barn photo, and our current family photo to Staples, where they turned them into engineering prints for me. When I got back home, I turned the engineering prints into photo canvases (tutorial here) and hung {Read More}
Christmas Entryway Welcome Home Tour
December 3, 2015 by 10 Comments
Hello everyone! I’ve been a busy bee, and can’t wait to show you my Christmas entryway! I don’t decorate my entire house for every season and holiday. It’s just too much work, but I did want the entryway to look welcoming and festive. The entryway remodel is almost finished, and it’s down to deciding what to do about the floor, but my husband built me a wall hutch that I couldn’t wait to decorate for the holidays. It has 3 tall vertical shelves and 1 {Read More}
Silent Night in the Living Room and Farewell Photos
November 21, 2015 by 15 Comments
I’m plugging away at my Christmas decor, hoping it’ll all be done by Thanksgiving, so I work on a few things each day. I did some tweaking on the wall behind the couch in our living room, to make it look more festive. I removed the window shadow box shelf that I made last year. {see shadow box shelf tutorial here}. I’ll probably move it to my bedroom later, but I wanted to put Christmas wall art in its place. I purchased the Silent {Read More}
My Barn Door Dream Came True!
October 21, 2015 by 31 Comments
I know I’ve mentioned at least a few (dozen) times that I want a barn door in my house. I really wasn’t sure if it would ever happen, so I made a cabinet with a mini barn door on it. I love that cabinet and use it all the time, but I really wanted a bigger version, so when my husband built another cabinet into the wall in our entryway, he fashioned the door to look like a barn door. It {Read More}
Vintage Grocery Hanging Scale Clock

Those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile how much I love using vintage pieces in my home. I used to find most of my pieces at auctions, but I haven’t had much time to go to them lately, and the few I went to turned out to be duds.
Entryway Makeover Progress
October 8, 2015 by 16 Comments
Things were going wonderful on our entryway makeover. My husband had brought home a trailer full of pallets. He cut them all apart, and got 2 walls in the entryway done. He made me a built in cabinet to store paint that I use frequently, and I was loving it. It was the pallet wood entryway of my dreams…
My New Farmhouse Kitchen Window Shelves
July 16, 2015 by 23 Comments
“Remember, you hate to dust”… “Remember, you hate to dust”… “ Remember, you hate to dust”… I chanted that to myself, as I decorated my new kitchen window shelves. My knees aren’t what they used to be, and getting up and down on a chair to clean the shelves above the windows is only something I will do…
Barn Door Bedroom Hooks
June 29, 2015 by 14 Comments
I rarely check Craigs List, but I got lucky one of the few times I did check it last year. I’m not sure if this was a small barn door, or a heavy barn gate, but I was so glad it was still available when I called about it. There were actually several to choose from, so I bought this one, plus another one that I used as a headboard in our shed-turned-guestroom. I thought I might use this one as a {Read More}
