It’s finally warmed up enough, that I ventured out into my junk shop (which would be a workshop if I ever get it cleaned and organized, and started rummaging through my stockpile of salvage. I’m still trying to get my creative mojo groove back, and repurposing junk usually does that for me. I spotted a piece of salvage that’s been taunting me for a long time. Do you know what it is? If you guessed it’s an piece from an antique sewing {Read More}
Industrial, Cabin and Farmhouse Style
March 3, 2016 by 7 Comments
Farmhouse homes are my favorite style of house, but if I could get a 2nd house, I would love to have either a mountain log cabin, or an urban industrial loft. I like to come up with ways to integrate the different styles I love into the home I have, so when I spotted a corrugated metal and wood framed mirror at Decor Steals, it reminded me that I still had some corrugated metal left over from our shed-turned-guest room remodel. I don’t know what {Read More}

Make a Farmhouse Pedestal Stand
February 27, 2016 by 9 Comments
Do you know how to make a pedestal stand? I love these things to pieces and have a few new ones that my husband and I finished this week! Not only do they look super farmhousey (yeah, I made that word up), but they earn their keep in the kitchen. Since I have a serious shortage of counter space in my kitchen, everything has to be functional, and can’t just sit and look pretty. The first one we finished was made {Read More}

February 22, 2016 by 26 Comments
When it comes to shopping, normally I’m a “get in and get out as fast as you can” person – especially at the grocery store, but there’s a store that takes me on a detour every time I’m in it. It isn’t a store you are likely to ever come across, unless you happen to veer off I-40 midway between Albuquerque and Gallup. Now, this is reservation land, and there is a casino and a DQ, but I wasn’t planning to gamble, {Read More}
Counter Space Dilemma and Faux Farmhouse Curtain
February 21, 2016 by 10 Comments
Counter tops and shelves are prime real estate in my house. Everyone in my family wants to own some of that property, and there just isn’t enough for everyone to put what they want on the counters. I’ll admit that not only do I treat counters as drop zones for my purse, mail and craft supplies, but I want to display some of my favorite vintage kitchen decor on them too, which leaves very little room to actually do meal prep, or {Read More}
