Adding a Deck to a Wrap-Around Bed Skirt

By Amy

Adding a Deck to a Wrap Around Dust Ruffle

After recently adding a new bed to our house, I was desperately searching for a bed skirt. I wanted it to be an ecru color, but not too dark. I knew I preferred having one with a deck (fabric between the mattress and box springs) as opposed to a wrap-around style. And, of course, it […]

Painting my Sewing Cabinet

By Amy

Sewing Cabinet

A couple of months ago, I rearranged my sewing room. I turned my sewing machine cabinet around to create a little nook for sewing. It has been long enough I know I am going to like it this way so I decided to tackle the back of the sewing machine cabinet. It was obviously never […]

Betty Lamps Hung

By Amy

Betty Lamps

After scoring a couple of Betty lamps at a local auction, I needed to decide where to display them. After moving them around the house, I decided the best place to hang them was on the mantle. Looking at these old whale oil lamps makes me realize just how easy we have things. When we […]

DIY: Reviving an Antique Wooden Box

By Amy

Restoring luster to an old wooden box

I recently acquired this wooden box at an estate sale. While I love its size – just right for hanging on the wall to display pretty things, it had lost its initial luster. It was super easy to revive the box; less than an hour’s laboring. Here’s how I restored the antique wooden box’s original […]

Auction Finds

2 different whale oil lamps

Over the weekend, there was a two-day estate sale just down the road from my house. The first day was mainly tools and man stuff, but they had 15 of these wonderful old whale oil lamps. I ended up with these two Betty lamps! My husband stayed all day for the tools and he also […]

Refurbishing a Lamp

By Amy

Finished Lamp

I have trouble seeing at night to punch without turning on all of the big overhead lights. I have a lamp next to the couch, but it just doesn’t provide much light. Last weekend, at our local city-wide garage sale, I happened upon a lamp with a swinging arm for just $1!    I am hopeful […]

New (old) cabinet for my sewing room

By Amy

Cabinet

My dad likes to use old lumber in his woodworking projects, so he is frequently salvaging from buildings that are set to be torn down. He salvaged built-in kitchen cabinets out of an 1830’s log cabin and made one set into a cabinet for me. He believes the cabinets were built when the kitchen was […]

Lavender

By Amy

Lavender flowers in a tobacco basket

I have a love obsession with lavender. I love the look and smell of the flowers, I love the dried petals, and I love using lavender essential oils in my homemade cleaners. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it to grow in my flower garden. I planted several nice-sized plants a few years ago and […]

About Me

Our small farm is nestled amongst the Amish. We have a few cows, some sheep, a labradoodle, one calico cat, and lots of wide open spaces for our children to roam. I enjoy making primitive needle punch, wool creations, and learning how to spin the wool from our sheep. Read more...
