I have been staining up a storm lately! Between the super cool Ikea trestle sewing table… …and the rustic shelving both in the guest bedroom, I just about feel like I really know what I’m doing! Well, the really good news is, most of us learn by trial and error and I’m certainly no exception. […]
I’ve started a few new good habits lately. One is walking every evening. I put the bike riding away for a spell because I wanted to see if walking would offer a few more health benefits. So far I do feel stronger, and have a little more spring in my step! Yay me! I think […]
Raise your hand if you have tools indoors and tools outdoors and tools everywhere else in between. If you use them everywhere, they scatter! For that reason, this little table top turned tool station in my photo studio got a slight revamp. You may remember this when the vintage creamers held screws. They were cool! […]
Every so often I get asked, “How do you do it all?” Truth of the matter is, I don’t. I am just like everyone else. I have more things to do than minutes in a day. I could honestly spend all my time on my kiddo, house, stencil biz, blog, paperwork, yard work… never mind […]
If you’ve been watching my Instagram stories, you’ll know we got a massive dump of snow over the weekend. This is kinda big news for the west coast of BC. We are accustomed to super mild winters, where you can mow your lawn pretty much 12 months out of the year. But not so lately. […]
This past weekend, my photo studio hit an all time mess. Very typical by the way. After one shoot… it can quickly look like… … this. Any one of those given walls in the room can become the background, so everything else has to be shoved to the other side to make it work. And in […]
This little closet project has been on the back burner for years. YEARS. In this day and age, the one bar / one shelf closet system ought to be banned. But, this is what we got when we purchased the house 10 years ago, and it was time to finally gut this thing, to get the most […]
This little 2×4 industrial shelf was all thanks to a challenge… and one very messy kitchen counter! I have a small kitchen, with half of the countertop devoted to my day planner and calendar. But it was always a mess. Basically put, I needed a more organized spot for my dayplanner binder. Forgive me for […]
Since working on the old signs turned paint shelf, my continued quest was to include some office type storage to the right side of the worktable. Just a few old vertically hung boards (lettered up with stencils) ended up with a reclaimed wood old sign office wall organizer! I call this one a mix and match look. I was […]
On my continued Crap to Clean before Spring quest, today I’m taking you downstairs to my paint studio. Confession… I have not been reading my KonMari book (post HERE) like I should. But that’s because I haven’t caught up to her suggestions yet. Goodness… I need a year off of life to do this thing […]
