I couldn’t concentrate on work no focus. no productivity. It finally dawned on me what was wrong.Continue reading “itch’n to create”

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 20 “Layer & Texture and Out the Door”

It was 5:00pm and I had nothing ready for tonight’s before and after. I had to leave my house at 6:00pm and drive 1 hour to see my son kick the football a total of 4 times.

31 Days of Before & After ~ Day 17 “Fresh Paint”

I don’t get to many garage sales and when I do, I’m not typically one to find the “great” treasures I’ve seen some people bring home and blog about.

vintage. salvage. rust…Oh my!

During our recent trip to the Discount Home Warehouse, the trip when we first spotted the mantle we bought for our bedroom, I mentioned that had not left the store empty handed.
