Living Room Update – The Ceiling

Ever since the very first day we stepped into this house (and fell in love with it), the living room ceiling was... nonexistent. Open floor joists, exposed wiring, and I-beams. We have put our touch on this room AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY COULD, ... [ Read More ]

Repurposed Vintage Hankies

I'm a sucker for all things vintage and sentimental, so loving repurposed vintage hankies comes naturally to me. Even though they're meant to blow your nose in them. Can you believe our grannies did that into this beautiful fabric? Since ... [ Read More ]
