Happy Easter everyone! Yesterday,  I posted links to some projects I really wanted to try but didn’t get to this year. Well, I had a pleasant surprise yesterday when I was able to carve out some time from the day to stop at the thrift store and pick up some old ties to try Ellie [...]

Something about this teapot spoke to me. Sitting atop three pedestal feet, this solid brass pot is colored with inlay and beautiful flower etchings. The wooden top shows signs of wear where the stain has been worn off, but I don’t mind. I am not sure what it is about this pot exactly, but I knew I [...]

I hope you aren’t too sick of seeing posts on my new space. This is the last post, I hope I can inspire some new closet transformations or organizational ideas. My sewing closet was the biggest change in my studio make over. This is what it looked like before the makeover. This sewing space was [...]

I’ve had lots of compliments on the fabric art on the wall of my studio. We have all seen this done again and again on design shows and on our favorite blogs. It’s is a great way to get large size art on the walls at minimal cost. This is how mine was created. First, [...]

I just can’t wait any longer to show you this. I have been working almost a month now, trying to create an inspirational place where I can work. Something that speaks to me. I think I have officially accomplished it! YAY! There were so many pins on pinterest that got me to this stage. I [...]

This is a space that needs to serve as a “work from home” office and craft studio. I am struggling to find an organized space that can contain [...]

Thursday already? I have totally missed this week. I am having a blast decking the halls and finding Christmas treasures. I found these Santas at the junque store downtown. These guys stand about 2 feet tall. There are three Santas with different looks and a glittery tree (hard to tell in the picture). They look hand painted, [...]

I love decoration thrifting around the holidays. I really find it to be one of the most satisfying thrifts of all. I love the challenge of being able to see beyond what is available to know what will work in my space. For instance, this original Santa print I found. It looks like it came [...]

Joining Ginny over at Small Things… Book: I picked up this Agatha Christie book “There is a Tide” at the thrift store last month. It was published in 1948. It was in fantastic shape. Unfortunately, I didn’t think anything of bringing it on vacation to a very humid place. I think it was thrown in [...]
