From Sheet to Pillow

March 5, 2012

My friend Rachael was not going to let me pass up the beautiful linen sheet we found at Round Top last October.  ”If you don’t buy it, I will buy it for you.”  Sometimes things are too perfect–like yellow birds, flowers, and my very initials.  So I bought it. It would be very pretty as [...]

Prime Time

March 1, 2012

Princess Room | Progress

February 17, 2012

It only took the good part of a year, but the mirrors and table for my daughter’s room are finally complete. I’m just so happy that I finally finished something that I want to give a progress report.  Remember these mirrors from Scott’s last year? Now they are a preppy golden pistachio green.  The little [...]
