A Trip Back In Time (and My Gorgeous New Blooms)
I’m here a little late today…but I made it! I had some things to do this morning, including a trip to the upholsterer to check on some chairs for a client.I don’t think I’ve mentioned this client to you yet, mainly because her project has been delayed…and delayed…and delayed some more due to various circumstances.Her name is Julia, and the project is a kitchen remodel along with some

A Heart To Heart Talk About "Talent"
Over the last few weeks, I’ve spent many, many hours by myself in other people’s homes working all day. And let me tell you, when I spend that much time alone, I get absolutely lost in my thoughts. I think about all kinds of topics: my relationship with God, politics, my present and future projects, etc

J & A Master Bedroom (and the Easy Way To Scrape Heavy Texture From A Ceiling)
Happy Monday to you all! Today’s post won’t be terribly thrilling, or filled with beautiful pictures, but I hope that it will be useful for many.I often hear people talking about scraping the heavy texture (sometimes called “popcorn” ceiling or acoustic texture) from their ceiling using sprayers filled with water. That method works (as long as the texture hasn’t been painted).

J & A Master Bedroom, Day 4:: Painted Board & Batten (and a Case of Live & Learn)
Yesterday, I primed all of the board and batten walls in John & Alice’s bedroom, and then painted one full wall, and then parts of two other walls.The color I chose is Alabaster from Sherwin Williams.I really do love the color (although the blue on the upper wall still throws me a bit–it’ll eventually be painted a neutral color and then wallpapered.) But what I’m not sold on just yet is Sherwin

J & A Master Bedroom, Day 3:: Dresser Transformation
Actually, 95% of day 3 was spent finishing up the caulking, wood fillering (what do you mean that’s not a word!?), sanding, and prepping the walls for priming and painting. I probably could have gotten some of the priming finished, but when I was finally ready for it, I realized that…well…I had left the primer at home.

My Kitchen Wall:: The Plan…Probably
Do you remember my kitchen wall, and my pouty little temper tantrum I threw because my plan for that wall wouldn’t work?I know…it was a pathetic display.However, probably more pathetic is the fact that right now, one month later, my kitchen wall still looks exactly like this…Empty frame and all…I kid you not.It’s time for action.Obviously step 1 needs to be filling that frame with a

So I’ve decided that today, I’m going to share my secrets with you

Out of Curiousity:: How Much Is Too Much For Fabric?
Since I’m on a quest to find the striped fabric (or something pretty darn similar) that is on my $8 garage sale chairs, I’ve been scouring the websites of different fabric companies. My search has yet to reveal that particular striped fabric, but I have found some pretty amazing fabrics. For example, these fabrics from Kravet are really appealing to me:Pretty, right
