so far as the decorations slowly go up: our entry way.  I made the ‘it’s beautiful here’ after seeing this, but sadly my wallet and I had a minor disagreement about it.  So I settled for my own handy work, 10 minutes and $5 later…

I recently bought this antique sofa via craigs list.  I probably won’t get to this ‘little’ project for a while, but I like planning and dreaming.  I’m thinking of white fabric, I know, I know, white sofa+2 kids and 1 dog = bad idea.   But I ordered some samples and have been trying my best […]

If you visit me here regularly you may have noticed I am mildly obsessed with painting our hardwoods white.  I am 99% sure I would love the result (hubby not quite as much).  Talk of this is sacrilege to some and I’ve never seen it done in anyones home here despite our grey winters to which […]

So just to keep things interesting, as one can never have to much to do, I started a little home project the other night.  I was never completely happy with the wood boxes we use as drawers (seen here).  I had previously covered them in wallpaper.  I took that off and have started covering them […]

In time for mother’s day or any day.  I wanted to share these sweet, simple (and totally affordable) sketch portraits.  I hand draw the portrait based on a submitted photo and digitally place it on an old book page (I love the color and texture this adds).  They are then printed on gorgeous Hahnemuhle Museum Etching paper.  They […]

I just added my counting cards to my etsy store!  I took a few more photos today as the light is much better (aka not grey and rainy). 

I can’t stop listening to this song.  It gets me going in the morning (something that has been hard to do this week with the time change).
