One of my friends recently suggested that we make something like this reclaimed wooden box she found on Pinterest.

I… Read More

Unfriended at 46.

by Michelle, in category Uncategorized

So for starters, I totally know how childish that sounds trust me.  I also know that my very emotional reaction to finding out I’de been unfriended recently may have been a “little over the top”, but it hurt.

by Michelle, in category Uncategorized

2014 was a BIG sign year for me.  I wholesaled many signs to some local shops. I also sold some signs on my own, gave some a gifts, donated a few, and also held a class on how to make your own sign.  (that was SO fun !) Most of the signs I made in 2014 were… Read More

Leather cuff bracelets.

by Michelle, in category Uncategorized, upcycle

Imagine my surprise and excitement when I stumbled upon a big box filled with colorful leather remnants and scraps at an estate sale last winter. I bought a handful that day, but I returned the next to buy the entire box.  I wasn’t sure exactly what I would use the leather for, but knew something would inspire me. Since then,… Read More

Our new nightstands (a makeover)

by Michelle, in category our home, painting furniture, Uncategorized

At least a year ago I started refinishing the two nightstands in our master bedroom. The nightstands were purchased from Pottery Barn over 15 years ago and started off a bright white.  Over time, they just started looking worn, and not the “good worn”. So last year, I decided to make my own chalk paint with… Read More

After a VERY loooooong winter here in New England, it is so exciting that spring is just around the corner. Isn’t it ??

Okay, it was really strange. Last week when I was out and about in my town, there, sitting in a giant snow bank was an antique dresser drawer. Just one drawer.  No dresser. No other drawers. Weird right ?!? Totally. I passed by bewildered, as I continued my errand run.   But I just couldn’t stop thinking of… Read More
