31 Days
Happy Labor Day! After ripping out Ava's carpet and painting 100 floor boards, we are in FULL project mode around here. Hence, our home is working construction zone. Hence, the topic of my 31 days series. If you guys haven't met The Nester (and who hasn't?!?), first...
my kind of friend
My kind of friend knows what I need without my saying. She loves hard, and walks in my shoes within the walls of her mind. She does this to love me more, and understand me better. My kind of friend makes a mean Asian Sesame noodle concoction that will knock your...
The Handbuilt Home by Ana White & a Project
I'm so excited to share something with you...actually, I've been dying to share this for months! A while back, we got a pretty exciting email. We love Ana White, and her easy-to-follow free furniture plans on her fabulous blog. When she asked if we would be willing...

sneaky suspicion
I'm not sure why, but something tells me, we're raising some pretty interesting children.
furniture peeks & new finishes
Happy Monday, my favorite folks! We spent the weekend in Nashville, had a great time with family & made some time to hit the flea market. I can't wait to show you all we came across (and bought), but in the meantime, I wanted to share a couple of...
25 Things
1. I'm thinking of buying a Keurig. 2. Is it worth it? Or just a fancier way to have a cup of coffee? 3. I ran out of coffee this morning. 4. Hot tea is just not the same. 5. "The best part of waking up..." 6. Is not a cup of decaf Earl Grey. 7. Speaking of...
Fun Furniture Trends
In preparation for workshops & the possibility of opening a new studio, we've been painting fools around here. I've shown you a couple of makeovers, but have GOT to make myself shoot the others for you! In the meantime, I wanted to share some furniture trends...

our new norm
I knew our lives would change when we decided to homeschool this year. I had no idea how much I would enjoy the change. We've already had a tough day, and it's only week one. There are no illusions here; it won't always be easy, but it's not impossible. All I need is...
Louis Blue + Primer Red Redo & a Giveaway Winner
Good morning, lovelies! Gray and I are enjoying our first week of school together, and I'm excited to share more about it with you tomorrow! We're also gearing up for a workshop on Saturday (here, at our house), and we're filling orders from the shop, too. It's been...
Gilding Wax Giveaway!!
Back when I introduced my little Florence side table to you, I promised more details on the gilding I used... I've never used much gilding, as my style leans toward farmhouse & cottage, and a little less to French. BUT...this stuff? It was amazing. It took that...
build your own removable plank wall
Happy Monday to you, friends! You guys have been so kind in your comments and emails about our little writing room redo...thank you! Today's the day we start answering your questions, so let me know if I leave anything out. To create more space for the office portion...
stepping out of the boat
Somehow, some way, I think I knew this was going to happen before my children left the nest. For reasons I cannot explain (and some I can), we are homeschooling Grayson this year. And when I say it's a leap of faith, I mean it's a leap across a chasm the size of the...

Happy Friday, friends! Don't forget to enter this week's giveaway from The House of Belonging! In other news, you sweet folks have asked us when our next workshop will be. We're going to host one next weekend, Saturday, August 18th at 10:00 a.m.! This will be another...

25 Things–it’s been a while
1. We Bought A Zoo is a magical movie experience. 2. I learned something important from watching it. "Why not?" 3. I'm convinced my daughter gets her swimmer's lungs from her ability to chug 20 ounces of milk without a breath. 4. She's more of a drinker than an...
writing room redo reveal!
Two years ago, I began this blog amidst an attic renovation. Our once forgotten dumping ground (through sweat, money, and more sweat), became a beloved retreat for me, the writing room. It looked a little different on the first reveal, but I showed you how it looked...
lighting for the writing room
So, it went something like this. Matt: The room looks AWESOME, honey. Me: Thank you, I love it! Are you glad we did it?? Matt: Totally--you'll really be able to work in here now. I love the _______, and the ________! Me: Aw, thanks, sweetie. Matt: But....do you...
redoing the redo
We've been working hard on several projects around here, besides the workshop. Ava's room is about to get demolished before being pulled back together, Matt's been working on several furniture builds, and I've been fluffing the guest room and redoing the writing...
