Wood Tray Upcycle - Thrifty Rustic Beach Style

The spring season always inspires me! I find myself hunting for furniture to fix up and flip. This little quickie was my first project of the season. It was a perfect little launching off point! 

I went to a nearby rummage sale - hooray for rummage sales! - and they had to fill a garbage bag for a dollar deal! I shuffled through their clothes and home goods, kitchen wares and filled my bag with miscellaneous items I definitely did not need. I found a few cute onesies for my one year old and yet another green shirtfor the two year old. 

Then I spotted this simple wood tray! Yes! And the flipwas on. Here is what I did to it!

I love how it came out! I got that twine at the dollar store last year and have had that paint for a while so this cost me about $1 and 30 minutes! 

Wishing you all a wonderful spring!

Before and After Kitchen Makeover: Blue Glass Tile and Vermont Maple Cabinets

Do I even need to label which of these pictures are BEFORE and AFTER our big kitchen renovation makeover of the century? We finished the kitchen just one month before our first baby boy was born. What a pregnancy project it was! We also redid the bathrooms and carpets, hopefully I can dig up some photos to share!

Enjoy the changes!

Before - Dark dungeon kitchen!

Before - odd layout

Before - cramped counters

Before - cabinet were dated and literally falling apart

Kitchen makeover! Granite countertops, blue sea glass tile backsplash with Vermont maple cabinets and under LED cabinet lighting. Refreshing!

Kitchen AFTER photo: Love the overhang of the countertop, blue subway glass tile backsplash and an industrial stove and hood.

Kitchen renovation featuring Mike's favorite grill top stove and oven. 

Kitchen after photo featuring the new layout with more counter space and cabinet space.

Kitchen - deep under-mounted stainless steel sink... big enough to bathe my child in that sink!

Basement Progress

Mike and I are working on getting the basement cleaned and useable! So far, we have painted the walls blue, all the trim and closet doors white, put up the trim, and I made curtains for the sliding glass doors!

Trim and Paint DONE. Also painted the radiators, closet doors, posts and the shelves.


After 2 coats of white. I put about 4!
Kitty Biscuit laying on the fabric as I made the big curtains!

Love the stained glass window look when they are closed!

Feeling so happy about the progress!

Summer at Fletcher Estate

This summer we spent a lot of time outside, working on the landscaping and harvesting the gardens! We also tore up the old slate flooring in the dining area and put down new tile for the new pellet stove we are installing this fall!

Here is my photo roundup of our Fletcher home life this summer.

Badger and I on the lawn!

Kitty Biscuit being cute in the guest room as I work.

We saw so many hot air balloons this summer! This one is from Essex Resort and Spa

Fresh blueberries picked from the patch in the backyard.

My delicious morning parfait made with local strawberries and freshly-picked blueberries!

Flowers blooming everywhere!

Mike and I working in the basement. Surprise shot!

Lilies in our pond in the garden.

Yoga dog - Badger the Great Pyrenees hogging the mat.

Shooed Badger away and Kitty came right in and sat on the mat! These two, I tell ya!

Beautiful flowers Mike planted growing up his rustic trellis in the front yard!
So that's my roundup. Hope you liked it!
