Recently, while remodeling our Kitchen, we decided to update our Pallet Wood Kitchen Island. In our new home, light was an issue in our kitchen. When we remodeled, we wanted light to come in through the Pallet Island, so we removed a few of the boards from the front of the island. Instant Pallet wood for me to work with! SCORE!

I hung the photo collage and paired it with a vintage vanity stool that I found junkin’. My mother passed on to me a set of key wall plaques that came from her mother.  I used one on our Stairway Gallery Wall, and... Read more

When stress hits, I’m always trying to find ways to relax and decompress. One of my favorite things to do is make jewelry.  I’m not as crafty as some of those who are true artisans, but I find colors I love and mix and match beads to make something that is truly beautiful. Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite bracelets I’ve made. A beautiful marriage of Silver, Turquoise and Jade hued beads. I twisted the strands into a loose... Read more
