Ever since I first looked at our house, the wallpaper was NOT one of my favorite features. But my dear hubby assured me that we could rip it all down and he would paint every room in the house if I wanted. And even change the color if I didn’t like it in a room. [...]

Lights

A friend told me yesterday that he thinks I’m the only woman in the county who didn’t want a gazebo and got one with my house! It’s not that I don’t like the gazebo in our backyard, but it was never something I wished for – or even thought about, really.
But I like it. What’s [...]

Sunshine

Sunshine.
Any sunshine, especially during this rainy week is a beautiful thing to celebrate.
The girls and I saw the sun rise (just minutes before it disappeared into the clouds for the day) on an early trip to the store Wednesday.
And I saw the morning sun shining on this fruit box in my kitchen.

I’m linking this to [...]

The new bench

We got an early Christmas present this month. Made by my dad to fit perfectly by our kitchen table. I could not be more excited! He had some great help carrying it inside and then the kids explored it in the entry way.

(My motivation came from Melissa at the The Inspired Room having a Procrastinator Party – go see [...]

So I tried this for a more attractive solution, but it wasn’t easy to pour and left soap all over the counter:

So I bought a small bottle of [...]

No new shelving for me right now. But these favorite fabrics, throws, bedspreads, sheets and lovely antique thread and buttons dress up the plastic grayness of these shelves.
Besides where else am I going to put these lovely textures and patterns!

I got almost all of the thread and buttons for a dollar at an estate auction [...]

Procrastination

Well, here it is, what you’ve been waiting for while I’ve been procrastinating (ok, so you weren’t waiting, but I was procrastinating!).
The bathroom. Here’s a couple “before” or “currently” pictures of how our upstairs bathroom has looked since we moved in two months ago. Except for a while there were even more boxes and junk [...]

Well, it’s fall and it’s October. Today it was also 80 degrees! Anyway, I added this bit of fall to my mantel (now that I have mantel, I ought to do something with it, right?) the other day and wanted to share it with you. Because I know you’ve been waiting to see it. (OK, [...]
