Getting on the Gallery Wall Bandwagon
So, it’s been done before. Many times. Decorators have done it. Bloggers have done it. And now, you can add me to the list. Our main floor hallway has gone from this… To this… If you think the coloring looks different – you aren’t wrong there either. It’s been freshly painted a light beige color. […]
I See the Light
We finally did it. We replaced our “antique” chandelier. This very unique piece has been on my radar for change since we moved in this house. Don’t get me wrong, this light was interesting and almost always elicited comments. It received its fair share of compliments – that is for sure. And most comments and […]
Autumn Decor
I realize I’ve been MIA for a bit. Things have gotten a bit hectic around these parts. Sorry for the vanishing act. I thought I better get these pics up before the season was over. I did a little autumn decor right before Halloween. So you will see a few of those theme-y items around […]
Read moreAdding “Oomph”
The top of our TV armoire has been going through some changes in the past year. It sits in the corner of the room, most people don’t really notice it. Which is what I want. When people are over the doors are closed and it’s out of visual range. When we first moved in here […]
Read moreParty Time on the 4th
Well, I showed you my pre-party 4th of July decor, and now I’m going to show you some of the embellishments I added on the actual day. It was hot as h#ll that day – 100 degrees – so most of the party was inside except for the brave that sweated it out under the […]
Read moreTweet, tweet
Yes, my new office “upgrade” was eloquently described by my 19-month old son. As soon as he saw it, he patted the wall, pointed, smiled and said, “tweet, tweet!” It was, after all, on “his” wall. Let’s back up, shall we? Mmmm-k. In my office there is an adorable table and benches (over 70 years […]
4th of July
Well, the Fourth of July is coming and so you know what that means – a little decor upheaval around here. We usually have a few people over on the 4th so I have been “collecting” related items over the years. I have quite a few flags, some pinwheels and other items. I will do […]
Read moreA Reminder of “I Do”
A few years ago, I met this guy. I liked him. First came love. Then came marriage. Then came Mr. Cutie Patutie. He (Mr. Cutie Patutie) was a little smaller then. Oh, and yes, I messed up that rhyme, so sue me 🙂 Just kidding! That would not be good Feng Shui. What is good […]
It’s Visionary
I’ve been making some changes to my office. Plenty more pics to come later. I just want to get a couple more things done before I share “phase 1.” But as a teaser, I’ve painted and rearranged. One of the main pieces of furniture that I moved was my desk. I had it angled and […]

Oooookkkkaaay. So you have a blank wall. And you have some nice trivets. Why not put them on the wall? That’s what I did! I bought these 3 trivets years ago. Actually, they came in a set. I had hung them up at my last house but when we moved here they went in a […]
