I’ll keep this short and sweet, because we all know that a picture is worth what? 1000 words? If this is true then I get off easy tonight by sharing some photos of my recent play day and a sweet little message. I don’t feel as if I need a reason to decorate but sometimes [...]

Rich dark colors draw me in. Do you ever take those home decor “personality” tests? You know the ones where the website presents you with a couple of photos of room decor and style and you chose which one you like the best, then you move to the next set and do the same. In [...]

Reclaiming broken dishes and ceramics can turn chunks of broken pottery into pieces of art, and that gives me a reason (like I would need one?) to keep things that other people would just through away. It’s hard for me to toss something in the trash just because it’s broken. Where some see the end [...]

Want to know a little secret about me? I’m a bit quirky, a romantic and I’m sentimental. I adore and dream of living in a little cottage, filled with character and charm. You know what I’m talking about don’t you? Hard wood floors throughout, little nooks, a few of the period fixtures in working condition [...]

After writing yesterday’s post about the entry reveal, I stumbled upon this photo of the “real” before of our entry plus all the junk we piled into this small space when we were beginning this tiny little renovation. We started in that corner to the left. This was then… this is now… and off to [...]

Back in October during the 31 Days of Before and After, I choose one day to take a few things lying around my workroom, create something fun and different and use that as one of my blog posts. Since that day I’ve received several inquiries about those funky little bouncy bell chimes? They are kind [...]

I’m on the fence. I need help so I’m pitching this one out to you. Here’s your chance to speak. Have your say. Lay it out there. Indecision. A terrible place to visit. It’s usually not a big deal for me. Just jump in with both feet and don’t look back…right? You know those words [...]

Last Monday I headed south to my daughter’s house, with a weeks worth of clothes, a huge roaster, a turkey platter, electric knife, a decorative plate, a can of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Antibes Green, a can of AS dark wax and a brush. We had much to do in two days. My jobs [...]

Probably my favorite change that has taken place in our home this month is my kitchen table. It’s been through a lot. We’ve had it almost twenty years and I plan on keeping it twenty more. I’ve always liked my table, but now I LOVE my table. I love it because it’s a great place [...]
