About Me


Hi, and welcome!  The title of my blog does not quite sum up our interests, projects and passion for saving just about everything.  However, painting (or the decision not to paint) seems to be involved in most of our projects. Our biggest project to date is the complete renovation of our 1922 Bungalow. While our main home renovation is complete, the projects and updates seem to be ongoing. I see this remaining true! Outside of our day jobs, we are usually busy with something - gardening, traveling, camping, fly fishing, junking, salvaging, hoarding...you name it. We make a great team! 

Our skills have developed through our passion to collect, create, seeing the potential of what could be, and doing most projects more than once. We joke that we did many projects twice, just to get it right. But really, that is no joke. We are our toughest critics - perfectionism can be a curse. 

In no way am I a professional or claim to be. I am a woman with a passion for finding, creating, and trying new things. The intention of my blog is share my (our) projects with family, friends, and those of you with a similar passion. 

Our Emma
