A NEW OLD FARMHOUSE TABLE
When Son #1 moved into his own place, we were grateful that he took some of our extra furniture that we have stored in our garage. We are proud to say we can almost park a car in there….NOT! One piece of furniture that he took was an old coffee table that we bought on […]
THE BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC FIREPLACE~ attaching to the wall and the reveal!
The beautiful classic fireplace is finally done!!!! When I first started planning my master bedroom renovation, one of the things I wanted most was a beautiful faux fireplace as one of the focal points of the room. When I decided to move my bed to another wall, I found the perfect home for the new […]
MASTER CLOSET REVEAL ~ Organized, Clean, & Beautiful!
I’m so excited to show you our new master closet. But before I do, a little reminiscing. Here’s the before. Very disorganized and cluttered. I hated walking into it every day.

STAINING SOME BUTCHERBLOCK COUNTERS ~ a really long counter!
How was your weekend? I hope you enjoyed time with family and friends like I was blessed to be able to do. Friday night our family went to a Durham Bulls baseball game. It was an exciting game and the park does a fantastic job of entertaining the crowd during slow periods of the […]
UPDATING FAMILY ROOM CABINETS ~ and I need your vote!
Hello All! Hope your week is going well. Tomorrow is Friday so it can't be too bad!! We're sort of stalled on the built-in bookcases in our family room. The LOML bought a table saw on Craigslist and is reading the manual on how to use it without losing any body parts. I think […]
ONE STAIN I’M HAPPY TO HAVE ~ island counter update

Onto something a lot less important…BUTCHERBLOCK COUNTERTOPS I finally got to stain the IKEA butcherblock countertop I got a few weeks ago.
