I have a problem. I can’t stop accumulating chairs. I really love them. It is my chance to try a color I may be a weee bit nervous to try on a bigger piece. So our kitchen chairs were UGLY. They stood out next to our barn wood table and not in a good way. Both free or under $5….and you can definitely tell… So one day I took a sample I had of a suuuuuuper dark navy blue (we Read More
Ok, this is totally random. But wanted to spread the word: Kelly Moore has some SWEEEEEEET camera bags AND as you know, Kellan is my most favorite…..so please check them out yo. (WOW i am so street) Oh, and that is me in my jeans and T. Which makes my torso infinitely famous. Obv. Cheers! sarah
Three months. That is a long break. But let me tell you, it was needed. For all who are wondering, 508 is still here and still making fabulous furniture! We took some time to recoup/regroup and make some decisions as a family as to how to move forward! This is going to be a kind of long post because I have tons of (what I think are cool) photos to show you PLUS, at the end of this post, I Read More
Last Wednesday I had oral surgery (wisdom teeth removed)….so I am less wise…less wiser…lost my wisdom…lacking wisdom…whatever, there was not much there to begin with. SO, some very painful days went by and I TOTALLY missed last Thursday’s Before & After column on Design Sponge….which featured some of my MOST favorite 508 pieces (No. 16 twins)! A late, but very much appreciated, THANK YOU to Kate for listing them as “best of” end tables! (see full post on d*s here) Read More
This is Ella’s nesting doll she calls “Tasha”- who now lives in our kitchen…you can see our new paint color above the sink also peeking through on the left. Here is to YOU trying a new little color somewhere in your home over the weekend….. Cheers! sarah
More emerald green….can’t….stop…. Speaking of color, I am thankful for Anthro and their little nooks….it is a little messy {which I like}, but cozy and colorful. Ok….that’s all…back to work. -s
Halfway through No. 20’s makeover….thought I would show you the direction I am headed…. Can’t get emerald green out of my head….sooooooo….pretty darn exciting about this one. Cheers, sarah
On one of our “day time dates” with out the kids, Nathan and I were at the estate specialist (duh) and started to look at some old books. We scored several unique vintage books that I am so excited about. The BEE on the cover? Yeah, its crazy cool. It is called: Ahhhhh! It is awesome. Period. Look at the binding: A colorful vintage nursery ryme book was in the mix: And last but not least…THIS IS CRAZY. Here is Read More
First cuts from Lincoln’s dedication in our dining room = happy. Enjoy your first week of spring! -s
Some pretty good wear and tear and knobs that were too small…but over all good bones. Now, she is perfect and blue and scratched and stained and dented and beautiful. I mean, I warned you about this blue and all of it’s glory. Totally appropriate that No. 15 was {re}born in April. I found some extra large wooden knobs at our REstore and painted them to fit the piece. Never done that before. A whole new world… Yup. My toes. Read More
Hey all! I am so stoked to have our FIRST DIY here at 508!! These pinwheels TOTALLY made the photo shoot for No. 11….and my lovely friend Kelly is here {from Kellan Studios} to share how to make this awesomeness happen!

A-I am not the first to make these, nor is this the only Read More
