When you see me again, I will be a super skinny super Read More
Ok, the woman and all her cronies have a knack for color. I have to give it to them. I may not be able to relate to Martha on a whole lot of levels, but color is one thing that she ROCKS at. (yes, I can finish my sentences with “at” because I live in VA). SO, her paint line that used to be sold at K-mart (boooo) is now revamped and at Home Depot (yaaaay). So I naturally took Read More

Happy Thursday! There is nothing better than taking a pile of dirty JUNK and turning into something beautiful… photos: eatdrinkchic blog A few weekends ago, we were out at my brother-in-laws farm and I came across a STASH of old vintage bottles/jars he had collected from his property. OK, so they don’t look exactly like the above pics, but I am working on them… {before} {after} I have no pretty flowers to put in them yet because my garden is Read More
GO AHEAD. Judge me for calling my daughter that…WHATEVER. She is in a diaper and hand-me-down whinnie the pooh shoes that are 3 sizes too big for her….NOW WHAT? Last night she helped her daddy pick sugar snaps out of the garden…and she ATE THEM- RAW! So proud. My little granola baby. We start with a little dance… Meanders over to Daddy to help… What is in my sand bucket? And she is trying it……PLEASE like them….. OH YEAH….that is Read More
This is the latest addition to our lovely home… SO, remember when I said how much I like THIS piece from etsy? Well, I decided to do my version of it on some old barn wood that I stole from my brother-in-law. I knew I needed Nathan’s help on this one, so I asked him if he wanted to do a “together” project. I braced myself for the oh-man-not-another-together-project-look….but instead he was like “oh cool”. THEN, before mothers day he Read More
This post is a little late, but I had to share. My sweet husband and my lovely Ella made this video for me for mothers day. It makes it better to know what she is TRYING to say on the video: “Happy Mothers Day. I love You. Bye!” Cheers! sarah
Yes, I am naming my furniture. Since we are selling some of the pieces we work on and they are starting to pile up, I have been trying to come up with a way to catalog/name each piece. So, I am naming them with a number. Don’t like it? Get over it. We love Six. He is a beautiful french gray adorned with anthropology hardware. Can’t. Get. Enough. Of. Him. Six is kind of a big deal because he went Read More
Ella has new boots. The boots are the #1 source of entertainment for the last few days. From the moment we wake up: And yes, I did her hair like that. Sometimes it is more about function that fashion- right ella? Her reaction to me taking pictures is either to say “CHEESE!” with a very scary smile or to do random things like lay on the floor and stare at me: We have been stuck inside for a few days- Read More
