31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 26 “Logging”

I bet Paul Bunyan never had this much fun in his logging days. So what if he had a blue ox named Babe, I have Rudy, Rover and Mr. Rust. Mr. Rust and I have been having some discussions about my impatience with him, I’m totally going to blame this on my state of sadness

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 24 “The Verdict; Guilty of Chair Abuse”

I love chairs. Not one particular style, any one can catch my eye & make my heart go pitter-pat. I’ve told you this before, even admitted that it might be a bit of an obsession. *sigh* there are worse things I suppose. One of the most used chairs in my home was in need of

A Vintage Shoppe Redo & Some Light Marketing

My love for salvage will never fade and my house has reached the limit of my hoarding capabilities.  This is not news to my family as they have suffered tolerated my exuberance for vintage treasures for more than thirty years. I have mentioned more than a few times that it is indeed time to clean
