I went junking and bought this pretty little dresser even though it wasn’t on my list. It sat in the middle of my kitchen until I happened upon this post by Heather Bullard. I yelled up to the big boys and had them move it to the main entry and I plopped the old chair(that also wasn’t on my list)...

Evangeline Ruffle Valance
The first piece in our new heirloom linens collection! I designed this one for Destiny’s room and we have plans to use them on windows in many other rooms as well. A wispy ruffled cotton valance to add charm to the windows without hiding the fantastic views. More pieces from the Evangeline Collection coming soon, crib...
Dining Sofa
Wyatt and my niece, Sophia
Once upon a time I found a beautiful antique sofa with carved wood arms and legs. The house wasn’t finished and I didn’t have room for it so I passed it up. Stupid me! I have been searching for years and haven’t found another like it. I found the second best...
Marshmallow Roast
The weather has been dreary, but that didn’t stop us from roasting marshmallows.
This is down by the cabin and the pond lake. We are still tying to decide on a name for the lake. Any ideas?
The chilly weather didn’t stop the big boys from going for a swim, either. Crazy kids.
Concrete Counter top instructions
I interviewed Levi with Brother’s Concrete on our way to Portland. It went something like this:
Me(pulls up notepad on iPhone): “OK! Let’s start with a material list!”
Levi(exasperated): “Jennifer, just tell them to look it up on You Tube.” I know he is exasperated because he called me Jennifer. That plus the mean scowl he was...
Concrete countertop
I only managed to get a few good photos before the clouds rushed in and stole my natural lighting. Levi made me a concrete countertop for my island over the weekend and I LOVE it. I didn’t want anything fancy, nothing faux, just good old industrial concrete, Levi’s specialty. Easy(helps that Levi is a concrete man:),...
Birdcage
My favorite Farm Chicks find…an old birdcage for the tweetie birds. You don’t even know how long I’ve been looking for the perfect cage. Pedro & Rita love it.
Speaking of birds…
Levi couldn’t sleep while we were gone because the birds decided to camp out in the master suite. We keep the door open so they...
Farm Chicks
At the last minute we hopped in the jalopy and drove 6 hours to the Farm Chicks Show in Spokane. Me, my 4 girls and 3 stinky teenage boys. Landon drove most of the way. I am a glutton for punishment, but I was determined to see what the Farm Chicks Show was all about and tempted...
Chalkboard toy closet
A big space under the stairs serves as a walk-in toy closet. We painted the entire closet, including the ceiling, with chalkboard paint. You can find chalkboard paint in a few different colors, at any home improvement store. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy and so many ways to use it.

Flea Market
It’s piling up, I don’t know if I am quite ready to launch this collection, but I’m starting to look like a hoarder. Help me, please!

The first piece of our new Home Collection is on the way! A huge 27″ square burlap pillow cover with ruffle trim and wood buttons, designed...
