There is something special about knowing who your family is and where they are from. Each family has a wonderfully unique story and it’s so important that we pass it down to our children to preserve and maintain the legacy. There is a strong sense of pride that comes up in me when I think […]

January 30, 2015 2 Comments

A while back I came up with the idea of making an old ladder and some pallet boards into a shelving unit. Well, the ladder I’d used was way too long to fit in our house and had to be cut in half. I was left with half of a gorgeous rustic old ladder that […]

What I’m Thinking Wednesday #1

January 28, 2015 2 Comments

Ok, so I can get a little scatter brained at times (or maybe I’m just juggling too much?) and I find that very often I’m in need of a really good evaluation of what’s going on in my own mind in order to organize and move forward. Usually this involves writing stuff down on notebook […]

Rustic Spool Bar Table

January 26, 2015 10 Comments

Our dear little kitchen is a bit alternative compared to most. It sports a lovely corner window, funky sized drawers, an oven that I’m pretty sure was original to the house (built in 1949) and opens like the DeLorean on Back to the Future, and this peninsula that juts out in the middle of the room.

Fabulously Framed Chalkboard

January 23, 2015 1 Comment

I’ve done it! I finally hopped on the chalkboard bandwagon. I have loved the look of chalkboards ever since they began growing in popularity, but resisted the price. Fifteen dollars for a little can is just outrageous for this frugal one. I don’t even spend that amount on an article of clothing, much less a […]

Hard, diligent work pays off eventually. This is a lesson I’ve learned so many times in my life. If you skimp by or do a poor job, you will reap a lesser gift, but when you put your heart and soul into something and give it your best, good will always come from it. That […]

January 18, 2015 3 Comments

“Priorities” is this word floating around in my head constantly lately. I’ll be going about my own daily business when it slams into the forefront of my mind, causing me to reel around in the shock of it’s effect, wondering what went wrong and how I got here. I dread the conviction it causes, but […]

Alternative Storage Solutions for Your Fridge

January 15, 2015 15 Comments

What would we do without refrigerators? The regal appliance that sits so grandly in the corner of your kitchen means so much to modern day food storage, that it’s hard to even comprehend what life would be like without her. We’d be taken back to the days of pioneers when food was salted and sent […]
