You all left such sweet comments about my painted kitchen table the other day. {blush} And a bunch of you asked questions about how I did it, so here’s a quick run-down. Unfortunately, this was done in my PBD (pre-blogging days) so I don’t have pictures. We sanded down all of the flat surfaces (tabletop, [...]

THOMAS! LOOK OUT! Oh noooooo, Ivo Hugh!!!!!!!!! Don’t worry, Topham Hat. I think that dyloberrypoptartapolis is a veggie-saurus. What happens at your house when you’re stuck inside during an ice storm?

Some of you asked to see pictures of my kitchen table and chairs when I showed you the bench that I rehabbed for the kitchen. So here you go… In it’s younger days, it was the typical yellow pine, butcher block kitchen table. Very sturdy and practical but not my style anymore. I don’t have [...]

I’ve been wanting to add some extra seating to our kitchen table for a while and when I saw an ugly old padded bench at the thrift store a few months ago, I knew that it was the perfect size and scale to work with my kitchen table. It’s been a while since I’ve rehabbed [...]

Do you still have candy canes left over from Christmas? I just found yet another box in the pantry. Make and Takes has a great way to use them for Valentine’s Day. A stunning hutch makeover from Pretty Ditty. Seriously stunning. A beautiful update to some high-end furniture from Freckles Chick. Love it!

photo credit: Amanda Woodward Well girls, here we go. Day 1 of our hope-to-be-weekly series called Building a Soft Place to Land. I wish we could all sit down around the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and chat. I feel utterly inadequate to write on this topic mostly because I don’t think I [...]

I mentioned last week that I plan to start a new series called Building a Soft Place to Land. I meant it when I said that I hope it will be a dialogue. Mostly because if it’s all up to me, this will be a seriously short-lived series. So before we get started, I’d love [...]

Note: If you purchased a Valentine’s pin directly from my blog before Jan 12th, your order was shipped on Friday and should be in your hands by tomorrow. If you ordered after Jan 12th, your order will be shipped shortly. I had a small problem getting all of the rhinestone buttons that I needed but [...]

I love me some Anthropologie! This is a store that I will make a special 45 minute drive just to walk around in. Gorgeous stuff for your kitchen, your bathroom, your bedroom and your bod. It’s a little spendy for me so I only shop their clearance sections (and not even that right now). Even [...]

Fantastic uses for old ladders from A Day in the Life of Ramona. There’s always tons of inspiration from Chris at Just Beachy. She’s a real, live designer-person. From Jeanne Winters: The Ultimate Inspiration Board, indeed!

I hesitate to say that out loud (or in writing) since it means that I’m committing to something. And when I comes to blogging, I tend to be a little scattered. I have a hard time following through when I decide to do something regularly on my blog. I’m kind of like a bird who [...]

Here at A Soft Place to Land, I love to prattle on and on about all things home. But one thing you will never find me writing about is cooking. It’s just not my thing. I’m not a bad cook but I’m not a great one either. I guess I’d call myself a utilitarian cook [...]

photo credit: galapogos Today I rocked my 2-year old son for a long time. Normally, he’s either running or asleep in his crib. There’s no in-between for my youngest. But today, he’s sick. So at nap time he wanted to “Wock, mama. Wock.” And what mama could resist that sweet plea? So we “wocked” in [...]

Or is it mantel? Either way…I never know what to do with my mantel/mantle after Christmas. After all of the more is more decorating of Christmas, I am ready for clean and simple. But I live in Pennsylvania. I can’t even begin to pretend that spring is on the way until at least March. Way [...]

photo credit: redskynight Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will [...]
