I'm over the moon for these two. this flower-bearing little dude. and this flower-wearing dude-ette. I do get asked at least several times a day (just like we all do...cause we all ask each other), how I get it all done in a day. And you know the answer...I don't. The...
found: antique crates
When I first began antiquing, I realized there was this whole world of possibility out there. For value, for creating my very own vision, for renewal. And over the course of time, I've found a few spots that feel made for me. I'm a fan of the antique mall/flea...

Sideboard Before and After
This post seems so long overdue. You've seen this after a million times, but I haven't ever written a reveal post. Which means you haven't seen the before in quite some time. One fateful day at the beginning of my business, I ran across this guy... BEFORE... And was...
