a door frame for Christmas…and more!

there’s more to it…the big reveal continues

December 19, 2011

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 [...]

Ready to reveal…enter here

December 18, 2011

We’re finally in the home stretch with our den renovation.  Since our entry, den and small sun room areas all flow together, we redid all three at the same time. All three were painted different colors. They all blended but it was time to lighten things up a bit and tie the three areas together. [...]

a bit of equality in my Christmas decor…

December 14, 2011

or at least more equality in my blogging about my Christmas decorations… whatever! but I suppose that I could spent a few minutes showing you how “one” area of our home is decorated for this time of year.  It really doesn’t qualify as Christmas decorations.  More like wintery and seasonal decor.  Winter because they are [...]

bead’n it up, bouncing around & chimming in

December 12, 2011

visual aid

December 7, 2011

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 [...]

Dressing the Dresser

December 6, 2011

Creating vignettes are one of my favorite things to do.  Dusting is not. So creating seasonal vignettes is a really fun thing for me because I can two things done at once and the chore of dusting is pretty painless when visions of primping and fluffing are swimming in my head. Today I’m dressing a [...]

December 4, 2011

He brought me a bouquet of… Pyrancantha! also know as Firethorn well I guess I could assume he thinks I’m hot but considering the thorns maybe I could assume that he thinks I’m as sharp as a tack on the other hand… maybe it’s because I can be a bit ornery and this is what [...]
