Happy Fall, Ya’ll! It does feel like fall here in Louisiana….. finally! To make “semi-homemade” caramel apples, I melted a 14oz package of caramels with two tablespoons of milk. You can melt it on the stove, but I just used the microwave for two or three minutes, stirring a couple of times. Then we stuck […]
I made an Autumn change to my old chippy hutch. Apples. This hutch came from Canton, TX. Where most things in my house come from. I posted about it before, after I brought it home. It smells old. But I like it. I thought I would join Jennifer Rizzo’s Hutch Party, where there are some […]
I have this little green foot stool. It has been screaming for some updating. So, I got busy. I bleached a drop cloth, and staple-gunned it around the bottom. Added a little stenciling. Yep, it’s the year we got married. It was a good year. And we are still so happy. And the stool is […]

I describe this restlessness as a rose, just ready to burst open. Maybe, just maybe, you’ve been here too. Have […]

Another set of cabinets, complete… Well, just the upper half. That’s why you will only see the top in these photos. I’m so impatient. I had several questions/comments about how I did this cabinet makeover. Yes, these are oak cabinets. I sanded each door lightly. Then I added three coats of white paint. Just basic […]
Remember when I said “more to come” on the kitchen cabinet re-do? Well, here we go… Nothing like a new coat of white paint, right? I have several photos to share, so hang in there. I really wanted to have the whole kitchen ready for reveal, however, am not quite there yet. So this is […]
