🥂 Welcome 2019! 🥂 New Goals New Organization

Does anyone have any good new year's resolutions?  I have to admit I have a few personal ones as well as some professionally.  One of them was to be more organized and consistent professionally this year, so I needed to create something to keep me on track and focused.  Focused being the key word there!  I decided to create an organization calendar for my artisan studio that is sure to help me keep that new year's resolution.

How Many Years Have We Been Doing This Project?

I'm embarrassed to say how long it's taken to put this half bath project together, I was blogging about it in 2015.  All the components were there from salvaged items to fabric for the valence over the window, it was just that last little piece of the puzzle that we couldn't seem to get finished.  Well I'm excited to announce that it's done, our builder boring half bath is now a totally customized and unique space that fits our house perfectly.

Beyond the Souvenir Shop

First off Happy New Year! Can't believe we are already almost half way through January, my how time fly's.  My family took a much needed break right after Christmas.  We were fortunate to be able to take a road trip to San Francisco between Christmas and New Year's and have a little rest and relaxation.  We took in the sites, walked along the waterfront, went to fisherman's wharf, ate good seafood, and took a boat tour to see the sites from the water.  But one stop into a store gave us the inspiration for this post, and took us beyond the souvenir shop to bring a little bit of San Francisco home with us.

Few Last Minute Decorations for Thanksgiving

We are making the final push in our preparation for Thanksgiving, and we are pumped.  We have put a couple of finishing touches on our kitchen decor to make this thanksgiving perfect.  First up a little upgrade on our harvest box.  It has worked perfectly to help organize all the fruits and veggies that come through the kitchen, but it needed a little pizzazz!

From Broken Chair to Towel Bar?

We've been working on updating our builder half bath for sometime now, and I know what you're thinking, that's probably the smallest, easiest, most cost effective room to update right?  Well, it's taken me some time, and I do keep changing my mind on what exactly is going in there, so maybe there is some excuse.  For this addition we took an old broken chair, and turned it into a unique and creative towel bar.

Salvaging the Salvage Project

There are many different ways to get an image you desire onto wood, whether it be old pallet wood or brand new wood you just purchased from the hardware store, however the new way I tried this week needs some work to perfect, but I had to salvage my project.

These are my new addition to the tops of my kitchen cabinets, you know that one foot space above your cabinets that sometimes we don't know what to do with.  Here's the perfect addition to that space.

Rustic Decor Additions for Wyoming

Follow my blog with Bloglovin


If you have followed my blog for any time you know that our family has a place in windy Wyoming. It's been in the family for many years, and the Flying X Ranch holds a dear place in my heart.  We have had our place up there for about seven or eight years now, and quite frankly it needed some rustic decor to spruce up the place.  I've had these ideas for a year or two, but up until now I've not done anything about it.  We are ready to start heading back up there again this summer, and I thought it was time to add some decor to make it feel like a home away from home.

Here's how everything turned out!

We Just Need Some Home Decor There?!?

Have you ever stared at a space in your house, and thought this space needs something?  But what? I had just that space at the base of my stairs on the main level.  It needed something.  Well I finally did something about it, I built and installed a console table that was just exactly what this little space needed.

This table was super easy to create and even easier to install.
