I really wish I was musically inclined, but one of my regrets in life is that I quit taking piano lessons when I was young. I just didn’t have the patience or drive to make myself practice every day. I’d like to think that some day I’ll try again, but I’m not sure I’d have any more patience or drive now than I did back then, but I do love old sheet music. I’ve got bunches and bunches of it. I sell {Read More}

Introducing Knick of Time Vintage Sign Stencils!
April 15, 2015 by 38 Comments
Today is such an exciting day for me – it’s like a little dream come true. Several years ago, I was busy creating signs on a bunch of old windows I had been given, and I mentioned that “someday” I’d love to develop my own line of vintage sign stencils. Dreaming about something is all well and good, but there comes a point when you need to stop dreaming and just do it. After all, dreams rarely come true without {Read More}
Farmhouse Bathroom Vanity Reveal
April 3, 2015 by 34 Comments
I should have titled this post “Farmhouse Bathroom – Take 3”, because I just can’t seem to stop teaking my bathroom. A few weeks ago I showed you the makeover in progress that I was giving our antique cabinet bathroom vanity. I thought I’d be showing the makeover to you in just a few days, but one thing led to another, and before I knew it, the entire bathroom ended up getting refreshed in the process. So let’s recap… Here’s how it looked when we {Read More}
DIY Twine Dispenser
March 27, 2015 by 12 Comments
I’m a twine junkie. I love cotton twine, and jute twine, and hemp twine, and baker’s twine. I love twine rolled in balls, and I love twine on spools, and I love it on cones. You get the point…I love twine. Not only is it useful, but I think a bowl full of natural, rustic twine looks so pretty. The only thing I don’t like is jumbled twine, and it seems as soon as I remove the wrapper from my twine, it ends up {Read More}

When you really want a grandchild, but get a rocking chair instead
March 5, 2015 by 27 Comments
Somebody in my family better have a baby soon, because vintage children’s items keep adopting me. I assure you – I am not looking for them, but when a little kid calls out to you, it’s hard to resist.
Upcoming Projects
January 16, 2015 by 12 Comments
In the midst of all the cleaning and decluttering I’m doing around my house, I need to take lots of breaks to keep my sanity, so I thought I’d share a few upcoming projects I’m working on in between. This drawer came from the front of an antique sewing machine table. It’s very pretty, but is missing the decorative side pieces, so I’m working to transform it into something new and useful. I’m also working on the sewing machine table base, but {Read More}
