Over the past few months, I’ve been collecting special pieces to sell. I find most things in a sad state that renders them impractical or maybe a little too rough to pop into your beautiful space as-is. With a little vision, a lot of TLC & elbow grease I’ve transformed these pieces into beautiful up-cycled… Continue reading New Etsy Store Inventory
The last time I uploaded this picture to Insta I was wildly optimistic about the amazing progress of our attic and so excited to see it take shape!

For a while I’ve had this idea of using the elegance and detail of more Victorian, Art… Continue reading Two Impromptu Sunday Projects: Mid Century Dining Room Chairs

This is what the attic looked like before, scary. There was a tiny room with floral wallpaper covered in scratch mark stains. There was a hook hanging from the ceiling and I wouldn’t be surprised if the ghosts of the children who were locked up there are currently haunting the house. Fortunately, it’s less scary… Continue reading Attic Before
A few weeks ago I was on a business trip to Atlanta and per usual when I get out of my element I feel restless so I took to my inspiration boards and project lists. I have been looking for a new credenza/ hutch for my dining room to replace the French provincial china cabinet… Continue reading Dining Room Refresh Plans and New Credenza
Remember my first Post with sneak pictures of the entry way? Well here is how it all began. Prior to purchasing our house we weighed the pros and cons based on a number of factors a few most important ones being location, character appeal, renovation cost and other “old house factors”. We’ve lived in a… Continue reading House Buying Decision Process and Entry Way before Pictures
