WHY ... do I love lining drawers with wallpaper? For me there are two very good reasons. #1, wallpaper has great durability for drawer bottoms #2 it is a wonderful surprise to see inside each time you open a drawer.
I have been updating our front porch and I have added a potting bench to help organize my garden stuff and I also built some interesting planter boxes.
I'd like to share the work I've been doing on our front porch. Normally friends and family might get to see the results first but these days the only audience available to share with is on-line. #stayhome
I want to share how I found 2 little dark brown tables, that were both different styles, and how I was able to change a few simple things on them so they could be a matching pair.
On my birthday I spent some time being creative, coloring Easter eggs. I didn't go out and buy anything, I only used what I had on hand which was Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
Spring is upon us and in a few short days it will be my birthday. I have taken some time this week to clean and fluff my decor. One piece of furniture that has not got the attention it deserves is a storage bench I custom designed and built using reclaimed furniture.

In a far away land, the baby crib was living happily with her family until their last child turned 2. The family's father moved her to a cold, corner of the garage, where little birds and mice would sneak in each night and run back and forth on her spindles leaving dirty foot prints all over.
In the winter I like to pair things down. Stick to neutrals and try to keep things cleaner. It's the perfect back drop for all the colors coming in spring.
PAINT TUTORIALS - In 2019 I set out to photograph several paint projects in great detail to share how they were done. With all those pictures I was able to put together 4 great in depth paint tutorials for others to enjoy.
4 the love of WOOD is all about the adventures of re-purposing vintage furniture and recycling for home decor. I hope to inspire you to try your hand at up-cycling and provide you with a new perspective when looking at unwanted items.
