Shades of gray painted vases. Old vases from the florist come back to life with matte acrylic paint and baking soda. Mixed custom colors for different shades.

Garden and annuals starting to take shape after the rain last week. Now will they last the weekend without water. Only have time to get the drip system in the vegetable garden before heading up north tomorrow. #happfourthofjuly #independenceday #1776 #america #unitedstates

Almost all the plants repotted. One Terra Cotta pot left to paint. Hoping to tackle a little more difficult Mud Cloth pattern on this last one......or buy more pots! Love that Michael's does curbside pickup.

Now that I can sit and enjoy my coffee while watch

Now that I can sit and enjoy my coffee while watching the sunrise -- I have gone back to photography and trying to capture these magnificent scenes. There is something unique about looking out our back windows which face almost due east -- in the direction of the St. Croix River Valley which our little town is nestled in.

I have a series of three sunrise photos queued up for printing. Would make great over the couch prints. Check out on my website, link in bio.

We've been making lights out of black pipe for some time now. We have created on a commission basis for clients as well as creating lights in our home. This is the latest from our newly remodeled bedroom and yesterday I showed the one I made for the bathroom over my tub.

Unique Terra Cotta Pots with Mud Cloth Pattern. I'm in love with the mud cloth patterns I see on everything from pillows, to rugs, to sheets, draperies and even flower pots! Check out my post on how I DIY'd this cool new home for my house plants. https://archaicnotions.com/1754/

Getting ready to publish a blog article on pipe lights. Here is one example I made for our bathroom. It's trickier then you think to get the wires through and your bends in place. Threads on the pipes not cooperating. But worth it in the end I think!

Falling down cabin is no more! Paving the way for our new 4 season cabin. A guy with a bobcat comes in pretty hand ya know?!

This. This is it. This is the reason why this account exists. In a fit of grief, in a garage I don't own anymore, amongst a bunch of stuff left by my late husband that I needed to get rid of.....
I decided to take back control. Or at least take control of my destiny. I got the 'ole sidewalk chalk out and took some boards and chalkboard paint to make a sign for my new business. A business before that day I didn't know I wanted or needed. The original sign was actually spelled wrong so I've spent hours in photoshop correcting the photo of that sign. I fixed it and am proud to display this crude beginning. Circa 2013, Hayward WI. Now we begin again.

Finally finished this piece after 8 years of it being rescued by my Rat Rod Hubby @dark2dark3. Still need to finish the doors with either glass, punch tin inlay, chicken wire..... just haven't decided.

What do you think about leaving it with the patina and layers of paint that show its history?

Switching gears and finally following through with a project I left sit for far too long.

This tiny little piece of my soul was one thing that really helped push me through a really rough time. Seems rather appropriate for 20-21 circumstances.

Can be purchased in electronic formats or soft cover coffee table book. A portion of profits go to usmwf.org link in bio or message me.

AFTER. #dropclothcurtains turned out great and literally took less then an hour. Fold drop cloth in half, cut in half, fold down top to 1st fold mark, attach clips and put on rod! So easy and no sewing unless you really want the bottom to have a nice edge. Maybe #stitchfix and an iron? Let me know what you think!

BEFORE. This is my first attempt at making #dropclothcurtains which turned out pretty good I think. Everything ordered from #amazonprime and all materials less than $50! I have enough clips to do 3 or 4 more windows.

Pictures from the road trip through the Ozarks to our current destination. Moving things around in the camper to see how best to manage space. Office with a view......funny how similar it looks to home including the boneyard of old Chevy vehicles.
