This reminds me of a textile project I saw at SF State. The artist had taken great swaths of wax paper, quilted them into squares with white thread and filled each square with different amounts of...

I think this is probably the interior that most reflects my own aesthetic. I, too, am a font freak. And a reuser. It helps that I live around the corner from a Goodwill store. My ...

That's a real "why didn't I think of that" great idea. Somewhere there is probably an article just on repurposing drawers.

He's adorable-good-looking. Know what I mean?

While my daughter and her kids lived with me, waiting for her to get back on her feet, she had a loft built in the front room, which I always thought of as the parlor. It's the sunniest room in th...

Inspiring. Gotta find me some wood!

Instead of shelling out 5 bucks a yard for fabric, try thrift store pillow cases and sheet sets. I've been collecting striped pillow cases for the last couple months because I like the idea of mix...

Because I have things like wooden crosses and tin hearts mixed in with paintings and drawings on my walls, my brother got it through his head that I'm a collector of religious knick-knacks. He wa...
