Pop Up Shop Leftovers
It's funny...when I typed out the title of this blog post, all I could think of were popovers and then I got hungry! The Pop Up Shop that I held at my home workshop this weekend is all finished and I wanted to take some time to show you what I had for sale and give you a recap of how the day...
Round Oak Table
I've been working on an old round oak table with a pedestal bottom and a set of four chairs for a while now, and I'm happy to report that the set is finally finished! That makes two antique oak tables that I've refinished this year. The second one was done earlier and is currently available...
Fundraiser Set Up
Well, I'm all set up and ready to go here at Conestoga Mennonite Church for theFood for Families Fundraiser! I thought I would take some time while it's quiet to give you a virtual tour of my space. Come take a "walk" with me, won't you? See my Momma in the photo? She's...
Settee and Side Table
Yesterday, my Mom and I knocked out a crazy amount of projects. We are plowing our way through a stack of small pieces that we picked up on a furniture run a few days back. One of the items I picked up was this crazy beautiful side table. When I got my hands on it, the finish was worn,...

An Antique Footstool
I've been working on larger pieces during the past few weeks. Dressers, buffets, and tables have been making their way up the stairs of my workshop and out the door. My back is a bit sore and I needed to take a break from the big pieces and enjoy a smaller project, so this footstool...

Work is finished on my newest upholstered piece of furniture, and I'm so excited to share it with you! This pretty chair was quite the project and I learned some new skills during the upholstery process. I acquired the chair from one of the dealers at Cricket's Antiques and Garden Market. I...
Upholstered Mini Victorian Settee
I've been getting into upholstery lately and I'm really loving it. I've been teaching myself how to properly tie springs, add burlap, build seats back up, etc. There are quite a few skills that are way out of my league right now, but I hope to be able to tackle them at some...
Balloon Back Chairs
Not only do I work at Morgantown Market as a merchant, I shop there as a furniture flipper for potential makeover pieces! One day, I saw that the owner had brought in two new balloon back chairs. I've been wanting to get into upholstery for a while now, but the only thing that was...
Deacon’s Bench Reveal
The last time I mentioned my barn wood deacon's bench, it looked like a cow. The bench part of this piece wasn't constructed of the same beautiful barn wood as the sides and back. It painted up quite differently and I was unhappy with the contrast. Luckily, I was given the...
