Home with Baxter: July 2014
http://www.homewithbaxter.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2014. New House, New Blog! I never really planned to take so much time off, but it turns out I really needed it. This year has been CRAZY, but things are finally settling down. Most exciting is I bought a house in Maine with my boyfriend, Matt. It's a 1940s Cape Cod with lots of charm and potential. After much thought, I've decided to retire Home with Baxter. That being said, I'm ready to close one chapter and move on to the next. I thought what better way to do that than with a new blog!

Finding Secret Treasure: Breadbox Makeover
http://findingsecrettreasure.blogspot.com/2014/11/breadbox-makeover-ill-start-off-by.html
Finding and Creating Treasures, within a Christ centered Life. Monday, November 10, 2014. I'll start off by saying, the pictures do not really show how pretty this breadbox really is (was) I really fell in Love with this! I used the "Frezer paper" method to apply the transfer, a little tricky with the front graphic, as I had to stretch it and print it on 2 sheets of paper and peice it together. I lost count on how many times I had to repaint the front of this box! This box is absolutely beautiful! Matthe...

Out of Alabaster: March 2013
http://www.outofalabaster.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 12, 2013. This is a story all about how brass is making a comeback. I can't help but laugh thinking about all the DIYers spray painting their brass fixtures while haute designers are drooling over the same fixture in a slightly different patina. The question is, after two decades of polished nickle tyranny and an attempted mutiny by oil-rubbed bronze, is brass poised to make its way into our homes again? Are the children of the eighties emotionally prepared for this? Fill me in here :).

Out of Alabaster: August 2012

Friday, August 17, 2012. I'm not a crazy owl-lady or anything, but I couldn't help but get this little guy when I saw he was the Scentsy special for the month of August! I'm working all the psychological mojo I can to get this house sold, so right now our home is filled with the delicious aroma of apple pie. Mmmmmm; I hope those buyers are hungry! We've been so busy getting ready for the transition, that I feel a little badly for neglecting my bliggity-blog. I'll quickly catch you up! Lots of love,.

Out of Alabaster: December 2013

Tuesday, December 10, 2013. We're on day 5 of Icepocalypse! A nice 3-4 inches of solid scary ice is covering everything in sight. We took a adrenaline filled trip around the block to the mailbox and then decided that was one of the dumbest things we've ever done. We're cozy and warm, and waiting for it all to melt! You can see here that before the ice age, we started putting up the cedar shingles on the house skirting- I love them! Everyone asks the dreaded, "So. When do you think you'll move in?

Wednesday, October 9, 2013. The porch is finished! Well, there is a bit of painting and staining still to do, but we are celebrating the victories here friends :). Remember when it looked like this? Eeek I can't tell you how many people have walked by and given us compliments/ confessed that they have been scared of this house for as long as they can remember! It's really fun to see how invested the community is in seeing it restored. I love this little angled detail by the front door! Who I aspire to be.
