Hi Friends!

How are you? I hope you’re having a great week! I was down in Atlanta last week with my friend Marcie. Her son had a liver transplant 3 years ago and was back at the transplant center for his 3 year check up. It was so sweet to see how well he’s doing and catch up with Marcie again. I even had a chance to visit with my sweet friends Alexis and Stephanie, too!

We took a walk in the park outside the Ronald McDonald house and took a picture of Asher in the same spot… three years later.

So thankful for the gift of a healthy life for him! He’s such a joy to be around! Marcie and I can do absolutely nothing and have the best time, too!

For this week’s Tuesday’s Treasures, I wanted to share a recent commercial design job we’ve been working on for Hometown Healthcare. Part of the design job included redoing the desk in the reception area and building a custom sign with their logo. This isn’t a great picture, but you can get an idea of what the desk and reception area looked like before:

They liked the set up of the reception desk, but it needed a facelift. So we added plywood, a wood strip, and their logo on the front. We also added a new matching work area for the staff that better fit their needs. Here are some of the afters of the desk area:

We also custom built the sign on the wall and worked with Vital Signs in Cohoes for the cut letters. We built the background and installed the letters on the sign.

A huge thank you to Shelly and Casey for choosing FunCycled for this project. We so enjoyed working together!

We have lots of new Christmas and Thanksgiving decor in the store, please be sure to stop by and check it! We also announced on Facebook that we’ll be having an open house and vendor market at our home on December 2nd from 5-9pm. If you’d like to attend, head to our event on Eventbrite and get your free tickets. We are asking for tickets this year to know how many to plan for and there is a limited amount due to the size of our house so the sooner you can head over there to get them, the better.

In addition to the adorable home decor at our store, you can also check out even more new furniture available on our For Sale page.

Hi Friends,

We had am unexpectedly hard day on Friday. Just one normal happy morning that ended in the hospital… the scariest day of my life.

Harmony and Josh went with friends to a town park while I was getting the car worked on. They had just shuttled me home and John was out doing work deliveries. 
My friend called to say Harmony fell off the diving board and hit her head then handed me off to the EMT on-site. He said they already called 911 and an ambulance was on its way. 
I ran outside and asked Matt (who works for us) to throw me his keys. He so kindly gave them without any hesitation. Thanks Matt!! 

I went as fast as I could but 10 minutes from the park got a call that they couldn’t wait any longer and she was headed to the hospital. THANK GOD John made it there before me as they were putting her in the ambulance and rode with her to the hospital!
I turned back around to head to the hospital. I don’t even remember much of the drive except that there was a couch in the middle lane of the highway that I had to swerve around. 

I just kept praying and called a couple people to spread the word to pray. 
When I arrived at the hospital, they weren’t there yet so I paced and prayed and paced and prayed. 

When I walked in to see her, instant tears. It was the saddest thing I’d ever seen as a mom. I found out she was getting a running start for the dive on a 9 feet high diving board. While she was backing up, she went too far and fell backwards off the board down to the concrete. We think her head hit a step first and then her left side took most of the impact on the concrete. 

Harmony and I cried and hugged. I tried to ask how everything happened so we knew what to have checked but she said talking about it made her sad and would just cry. She slowly told me more details all night and even now. 

The grace part??? This could have been so much worse. All the doctors couldn’t believe how good she was for the fall she took! Two of the lifeguards at the pool were my good friends kids (thank you Emma and Sevi). Harmony told me how kind you both were and telling me about you was the first smile I saw on her face. 

Harmony has a laceration at the top of her head that needed staples, has a concussion, and has huge bruising on her left side. But nothing is broken. Nothing. All the doctors kept saying she’s so lucky. I choose to believe God was watching over her and thank Him so much for a happy ending to this story. 
We are home now. She’s sore but in good spirits!!

Harmony said to me the day it all happened, I’m so thankful we have God to give us strength on days like today. He makes it so much better. 💕💕 You’re right sweet Harmony Grace. So right. I know this isn’t the ending to everyones story, but I’m so grateful it’s the ending to ours today.

The transformation I want to show you today has no before pictures because it was just an empty building when I went to go look at it the first time. It had no windows and mostly just exterior walls. They haven’t announced the opening yet, but when they do I’ll be sure to share all the details with you.

These are small apartments in Albany that are upscale and adorable. We were chosen to do the interior design and also had the chance build some of the furniture in the space.

First we have the kitchen area… we mostly staged this and added a small table as the sofa table and eating are in this model apartment.

We also designed a small living room with a FunCycled mid century dresser as an entertainment center and custom made sign.

We also built a custom herringbone headboard with attached lights for the bedroom.

We didn’t install the bathroom, but we did stage it. It’s so beautiful I had to share some of the details with you!
