Last night, I watched my girl sing a solo to “Helpless” from Hamilton in her high school choir, and I couldn’t help but feel so proud watching her shine. ❤️

There’s something so special about being a parent and watching your child discover their gifts on their own. Seeing them find what they love, grow in confidence, and reach little milestones along the way is such a beautiful thing. You get to watch them become more and more themselves, one moment at a time.

Then today, lo and behold Facebook memories reminded me of this little goofball from seven years ago. I was taking a picture of an antique chalkboard I had refinished, and there she was being her perfectly goofy, wild child self.

Madeline has always had this fun, playful, witty, slightly mischievous spirit. She can be shy and reserved around people who don’t know her well, but those who get to see the other side of her know just how funny, silly, and downright fun she is to be around.

Looking at that memory and then thinking about her singing solo last night reminded me just how much she’s grown. Her confidence, her talents, and the little milestones she’s reaching make my mama heart so happy. 🥹

The thing I love most? Somewhere in all that growing up, that wild child spirit is still there. I hope it always is. ❤️

Me: Just going grocery shopping. 🛒
Also me: Sees the cutest little dog in the car next to us and immediately starts speaking fluent baby talk. 😂
I have no self control when it comes to cute dogs. 🐾💕

I was feeling bad that I couldn’t rake up the tons acorns in my front yard because of my injured wrist but little did I know, I was actually hosting an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET for 10 hungry deer!
These 10 guests showed up last night and had themselves an absolute FEAST! No reservations, no waiting list, and apparently, no complaints about the service!
Who knew my laziness (okay, fine, my injury! 😜) would turn my front yard into the hottest restaurant in town?!
I’ve learned something new: deer LOVE acorns, and they can be an important part of their diet in the fall. So I guess Mother Nature had a plan for that mess all along!
Moral of the story: Sometimes what you can’t get done turns out to be exactly what someone else needed.

From real estate to recovering from multiple surgeries so I can get back to refinishing furniture to being an Uber to my teenager to just handling life nothing rattles my cage much these days 🤪

Ever wondered why New Englanders are famously pragmatic, slightly sarcastic, and emotionally hardwired to scream sing Noah Kahan in the car? Look no further than this map.

When Daylight Saving Time ends right after Halloween, Boston’s sun drops off a cliff at a brutal 4:37 PM. Meanwhile, folks in Kansas City get daylight until 5:17 PM, and Atlanta gets to enjoy sunshine all the way until 5:45 PM!

Let’s not let the darkness slow down your home search! House hunting season in New England doesn't stop just because the sun decides to tap out before 4:30 PM. I’ll still help you find a house in the dark:

✔️ Truck with 4WD ready for snow, ice, or muddy driveways
✔️ Boots on to trek around backyard perimeters
✔️ Flashlights fully charged to explore a basement

The daylight might be limited, but your dream home search doesn't have to be. Who’s ready to grab a flashlight, blast some Noah Kahan, and go house hunting?

Big project vision in the works! 🛠️ ✨

Since my left hand is still completely out of commission and I have another surgery coming up, running my workshop and getting hands on with projects has been on pause. That doesn’t mean the ideas stop flowing!

I’m stepping into the "project manager" role for a much needed refresh on my basement stairs. The left is how they look right now, and the right is the vision 🤩
I’d like to see the stairs and walls painted in a sleek black and add these vibrant peel and stick tiles to the risers.

Madeline has been amazing with helping me lately and wants to be the lead muscle and builder on this one while I coach her through it. It’s going to be such a fun project to direct together and a great way to start getting the space updated while I continue recovering.

What do you think of the black and tile combination?

Biscuit would like all of you to have a SUPER week full of wins and productivity! 💪🏻

I’m literally on a furniture high! When you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work. Oh it will feel like work hauling this sucker into my house but for now this find feels FABULOUS! I stalked a lady in the Goodwill tonight in order to get this piece. Full on stalking her. Well she was admiring it first and I could tell she was hemming and hawing on whether or not to get it. So I got low like a predator about to pounce on it’s prey. Actually I pretended to be looking thru used drapery and kept watching her and praying just please walk away, you don’t want it, I need it, I have a truck I can take it right now you just need to walk away lady...slowly walk away....but she didn’t. She just kept standing there, looking at it, kept opening up the drawers so I got tired of stalking her so I left and sat in my truck in the parking lot and decided to stalk her from the outside. Haha! Sure enough I watched as the female subject exited said business and she hopped into her little Toyota Corolla and drove away. HALLELUJAH!!!! I immediately rushed back inside and bought it. $25 but with my discount card.....only $18.75! YEAHHHH BABY! Ain’t she purrrrrtttty?!?

👻🎃 GIRL MATH STRIKES AGAIN! 😂

These adorable light up ghosts were over 50% off at Tractor Supply, AND I used my Tractor Supply rewards money to cover the rest.
Out of pocket? $0.00. ZERO. ZILCH. NADA.
Which means, according to girl math, I basically got paid to bring home these adorable little ghosts. 👻😂

Tell me I’m not the only one who shops like this! 💁‍♀️

A little throwback to a project from five years ago, because MAN, am I yearning to get back into my workshop.

This buffet was so much fun to work on, and you know what? I’m gonna brag a little. When I look back at some of my projects, I’m reminded just how much I LOVE the little details.

I’ve always looked at furniture as a canvas and when a piece comes to me for FREE? Well, that’s when the creative license really kicks in! There are no rules, just possibilities.

✨ Highlighting and preserving the natural wood.
🎨 Having a little fun with paint.
🤫 Adding that peekaboo stencil to the sides of the drawers because who doesn’t love a pretty surprise when they open a drawer?!
🖌️ Adding textured paste to the sides of the buffet for extra dimension and interest.

Every surface deserves a little love, and I want each piece to have something special to discover. That’s what makes furniture refinishing so much fun for me.
Of course, no photo shoot would be complete without the handsomest little model in the world, my Biscuit, looking ridiculously adorable in his sweater.

Fourteen plus years of rescuing, revitalizing, and reselling furniture, and I still love looking back at the pieces I’ve brought back to life.

Now, if someone could just fast forward me back into my workshop, that would be great because this girl has some creating to do!
