A Little Dream
April 12, 2013 by 9 Comments
For the last few months, I’ve been showing you lots and lots of stenciled windows and wood projects, and it suddenly occured to me – could I create stencils to sell? I love creating something new out of something old and I love doing that with typography and antique graphics, so wouldn’t it be fun to develop my own line of stencils that others can use? This little dream has lots of challenges though, the biggest of which is getting {Read More}
SWEET LIFE & Coat Racks
April 10, 2013 by 16 Comments
Coat racks are a good seller in my shop, so I’ve been busy working on some new ones lately. I don’t generally put words on them, but I had a song from the 70’s stuck in my head and decided it would make a perfect addition to a cottage style coat rack. I’m loving this new pale mint color chalk paint I made and think I’ll probably be on a mint green binge for awhile. Can you guess the artist {Read More}

Thanks so much for all your get well wishes yesterday. I don’t think I’ve been in that much pain since childbirth, but I feel SO much better today. I truly thank God for modern medicine. I think it will take a few days to get rid of all the stiffness and pain that’s left, but I’m at least functional today. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this late 1800’s pharmacy receipt. I like the variety of fonts on it. And here {Read More}

Painted Canvas – Chalkboard Style
April 7, 2013 by 27 Comments
I’ve been going back and forth between painting on glass and wood the last few weeks, and wanted to play around with some other surfaces, so I chose canvas this week. Remember The Milk and Cream Co. sign I painted on a window a few weeks ago? It has a good home now, but there’s just something about the simple wording and uncluttered design that I really loved, so here’s the canvas version I just finished. I cut out a {Read More}

LIFE IS SWEET – Bakery Sign and Coat Rack
April 5, 2013 by 15 Comments
Last year, I brought home an antique farmhouse table from an auction. I had hoped to use it for our kitchen table, but it was too small for 6 chairs to fit around. This is the 4th antique table I’ve brought home from auctions…I’m a little addicted to them. Since I don’t have a booth space and tables are too heavy to reasonably ship, I decided to take it apart. I sold the legs and one side of the drop-leaf {Read More}
Repurposed Trunk Coffee Table

Do you ever wake up in the morning, when the sun is shining and the birds are chirping, and think, “What ugly thing can I paint white today?” Well, maybe it’s just me. Sunshine and birds have that effect on me. Anyway, I woke up in that kind of mood. I looked around for something ugly that I could paint and my eye landed on this footlocker trunk sitting in my entryway. Why did I buy an ugly trunk? I {Read More}
