Let’s take a little glimpse back in time, shall we?  To a time when this part of the #staggreno was all brick, boring, dark, dysfunctional, and hadn’t hosted a gathering in at least a decade.  This is the space formerly known as a patio no party had any business being.   Doesn’t it make you […]

When looking for a vintage treasure, there are good finds and then there are great finds.  I’ve only come across a few really, really great finds and today I’m sharing one of those– a nearly mint condition Drexel campaign dresser. I love campaign furniture.  Like really love it.  Finding it in Utah is pretty difficult […]

I’m always on the hunt for something, whether it’s for myself or a client.  Sometimes I come across things that are just too darn good to pass up, whether I have a place for them or not.  In the past, those things have found a home in a section of my garage known affectionately (for […]

Ruby’s birthday present from us was a baby doll.  I wanted to get her a doll bed of some kind to go along with it but have you looked into the doll furniture industry as of late?  Holy moly.  American Girl has got quite the business model.  I couldn’t really justify spending a lot on […]

Great mid-century chairs aren’t easy to come by.  Either they are astronomically priced, or they are reaaaalllly expensive.  Ok, that’s the same thing.  Basically, there are a lot of people hunting for quality mid-century furniture, therefore it’s A) difficult to find for a great price or B) a piece of garbage or C) Not really […]

Have you ever found a great piece of fabric and wondered how much you need to recover a piece of furniture?  I have.  Many times.  I never want to buy too little.  Who knows if you can find the exact same fabric again, when it will be available, and also it’s always better if you […]

Ya’ll know I’m a thrifting Thelma.  That’s not really a thing, I just have a love of alliteration. I constantly get asked advice for thrifting.  “Where do you go?  How do you find such great things?  How do I know when I’ve found something great?” Much of thrifting has to do with luck.  Many times […]
