In between the spontaneous bouts of rain that hit Chicago today I managed to snag a couple pictures of the upholstery project I mentioned last week. Here it is, my $40 garage sale find plopped in my front yard. I love the lines of the piece but just can’t get behind the gold, shiny fabric. [...]
I picked up a beautiful vintage chair this past weekend while at a garage sale and I am so excited about it (Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to photograph it and share with you guys ASAP). The fabric isn’t to my liking but it’s in great shape and is actually quite comfortable. So I’ve been [...]

Well your anticipation can finally subside, my friends, because our new blog post is up that announces the unveiling of our latest project: faucethead cards. Faucethead cards are [...]
The mailman has been my best friend this week. He delivered this delicious scent on Monday, this software on Tuesday and this much-anticipated book yesterday. I quickly skimmed through Handmade Weddings last night and it was love at first sight. I don’t have any weddings coming up but I think that some of these projects [...]
