Pack a lunch, ’cause we are going on a road trip.  (more…)

I love wood.  Wood wood wood.  (more…)

So after last week’s confession, I decided to get back on the proverbial “horse.”  (more…)

I have a confession to make: salvaging takes a lot of time.  A lot of time that I am finding I don’t always have.  (more…)

Fear not fair hearts: my blog has not been taken over by a spammer.  Just a love of trim.  I know, I know, I am being decidedly vague.  What am I talking about? (more…)

I have very fond memories of being a young girl and sitting on the front porch with my family, eating ice cream and watching the sun set.  Twenty-some years later, I have a very small front porch and have been diagnosed with a milk allergy, but the love for porches is still there.  (more…)

Every good house needs drainage.  There are several kinds: gutters, which funnel the water through pipes; rain chains, which allow the water to cascade down; or the Hail Mary, where you put up nothing and pray for no structural damage.  My control freak tendencies rarely leave anything to chance, so I am thinking about ways to divert water away from my foundation.  I saw the photo below and loved it, but felt that I need a little more security on my gate than that.  BUT, what if I translated that idea into a rain chain?  Kind of my own rock’n rain chain.  Just have to run it by Mr. Rock’n Architect.
