Progress Pictures from the Cabin Makeover

Happy 2020! I was able to do some work on the Idaho cabin over the holidays. Paint, paint, paint seem to be the biggest game changer. From painting vintage finds, to saying good bye to excessive wood paneling, color is definitely fun and refreshing for the New Year. Here are a few progress snap shots….READ MORE Progress Pictures from the Cabin Makeover →

Vintage Hunting for an Idaho Cabin

I’ve started a little fun makeover of an Idaho cabin from the 1800’s. It belongs to my fiance and his family along with a few other rustic cabins. It’s incredibly charming and quaint but needs better space planning and several layers of coziness and color.  The rooms are dark and need to be brightened asREAD MORE Vintage Hunting for an Idaho Cabin →

The love of reinventing furniture!

I grew up in a home where we washed plastic bags, conserved energy and any item that had been one thing, got reinvented to something else. I used to be angry and even embarrassed of all this salvaging!  Bed covers  became towels after they broke, or perhaps even curtains, and lots of things were boughtREAD MORE The love of reinventing furniture! →
