Remember the Great Door Hunt of 2013? We learned a lot of lessons that summer when it comes to shopping second-hand, and although our silly story saw us through ups, downs and in-betweens, we came out on top. Hooray! As frustrated as that journey felt at the time, can I admit something? I secretly loved […]

Elkhorn Flea Finds
With the exception of Sunday morning, we spent the entire (and I mean entire) weekend prepping the guest room walls for paint, installing door and window trim and going back and forth between two almost identical paint colors.

Surrounded by questionable bars and night clubs, a […]

As the title of this post suggests, my aunt and uncle did just that. And with a last name like Master, what better name than Master Pieces Antiques? Aunt Mary Pat and Uncle Doug have always had a passion for antiques. It’s been obvious in their choices of hundred-year-old houses, vintage British sports cars and […]
