Epoxy Day

We love two part epoxy at Star Hill. My family is so in love with that stuff that Baby Boy put it on his gift registry…no lie. The thing about epoxy is that it is really only good for one use in my experience. We try to group up our epoxy projects so that we […]

DIY Framed Chalkboard

Project number two from the weekend was to turn a frame that Sweet Amanda and her mom found at a thrift store into a chalkboard. That girl is quite the thrifter! She found an amazing gilded frame in the trash that will make an appearance at the wedding and I think she paid $3.00 for […]

Making a Farmhouse Table on the Cheap

We were off this past week for the holiday. Nothing says holiday to us more than a few extra days at Star Hill. No Internet, watching the birds, squirrels, deer and listening to the sounds of nature. Loved it. Because baby boy is getting married in two weeks to Sweet Amanda we spent a little […]

I have had this blog set up for two years, but never had the courage to actually put myself out there and post. What a chicken I am. We are really at a new fork in our road. Both of my wonderful children have found someone that they love and weddings are planned. My sweet […]
