Wednesday’s Weave — Copy What you See
Last fall when I went to visit Sister Bee, all I wanted to do was be cozy in her mountain home and read books. She had this book Style & Simplicity by Ted Kennedy Watson on her coffee table. I immediately fell in love with his book and ordered by own copy right...
Home Tour — The Powder Room
By definition, a powder room is a small bath for guests with a sink and toilet, but not a tub or shower. My powder room has gone through the most makeovers in the house. A tiny bath for just one person is hard to keep light and airy. I’ve painted the walls,...

Creative Uses for an Armoire

Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

When I was little, Sister and I would make crafts together as my gift to family members. One year, we made spice ropes, and another year, we filled hairspray caps with plaster and stuck a fork inside to make a recipe holder. Our creative skills were on fire! I have fun memories working with her on these crafts, instilling in me the spirit of giving.
Buzz over to my blog for the recipe and printable cards. Or comment GIFT, and I`ll DM you the link.

Get creative with those extra sprigs of greenery from your tree! Most tree farms give away their scraps or cut some from the back of your tree. They make great filler for a holiday vignette, a top of a package or anywhere you love a pop of Christmas green!
