Hey everyone! It's been such a crazy week here with almost all of my projects being more complicated than I anticipated. You've probably seen on our Facebook page that 1/2 of my projects kept bleeding through this week. Which means,…

Hi All! You've probably already seen pictures of this chair on our For Sale page, but we just brought it down to Anchor No. 5 in downtown Troy to be part of their Valentine's Day window display. I wanted to…

Happy Tuesday everyone! This Tuesday's Treasures is a piece that I would love to keep for myself, if I had room. Thankfully, I own a small house so I can't fit much more of anything in it. :) I just…

One of the many ways that we've continue to be blessed is by old friends who encouraged us in this adventure called FunCycled. This week's Tuesday's Treasures comes with a lot of memories for me. When I was a little…
