DIY decorating and crafts
I am just in love with the 1905 Cottage I'm renovating. While most of the major work is done -- and there's a lot to share with you -- the biggest unfinished piece has been the kitchen. The people who had lived in this cottage before loved it and took good care of it. But it was time to update it. It wasn't bad, but we knew there was something magical underneath. But we had to do some … [Read more...]
There's so much to talk about in my 1905 cottage remodel that I barely know where to begin! As you've guessed from the parts of the story I've told, we started with a cared-for but out-of-date cottage and stripped it to its brick frame. (And in some cases, farther!)

It was built in 1905 -- and even though it's been remodeled over the years, its charm shines through. I was afraid someone would buy it, tear it down, and build something else on it. That is what has happened with all of the other old … [Read more...]
I love the wood floors in my new/old office. The floors are from 1905. They're beautiful pine -- with 15-foot planks. Each plank is free of knots -- turns out it's nearly impossible to buy that kind of wood now! Luckily the owners through the years had covered the floors with carpet, except in the kitchen. With a lot of hard work, we sanded and stained them - it took about 2 months … [Read more...]
The little 1905 cottage I am working on it coming along. The drywall is all done and we are painting this week. For the last couple of Saturdays we have been working on the fireplace. I wanted a really classic cottage-y look with a planked wall. And I am so happy with the way it's turning out. Here are 6 tips I have learned as we have created this Cottage Fireplace. Plus, Lowe's is giving … [Read more...]
