Salt,Pepper and some Glaze (No, this is not a recipe.)
I have been looking for something to put on the walls at our guest house, and I think I have found it. I saw these salt and pepper wooden signs at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago, and I fell in love with them. But I didn’t get them because I wasn’t sure if they would look good in…

A Hutch Re-do
I have been looking for a black hutch or cabinet to hold my white dishes in for some time. I was so excited when I got this hutch at a yard sale for $70.00. I loved the dental molding and glass doors. And even though it was a little “dressier” than I was looking for, I KNEW it would look…

Countertops, Cabinets, and a Door
We have made some more progress on our Guest house. First, let me tell you about the countertop. I am so excited about how it turned out. I actually like the “look” of tile better than the granite countertops in my kitchen. I think the tile goes perfectly with the “cottage” look. Here’s the picture of before. Here’s the after!…

“I think his tractor’s sexy…”
I just had to share a picture of my crazy husband! He fills my days with so many smiles. Monday morning, before heading to work, he needed to take his new (old) tractor up to Tractor Supply to get the blades sharpened. The store is about a mile up our road. It is 8:00 am, and I go to get…
