My Easter post will be coming soon, but I’d love some input from all of you brilliant bloggers and readers about this lovely (read sarcasm) piece of furniture. We inherited a decent table and four of these chairs a few months ago (Don’t you love how I never pay for things?). The table is oak,…
Welcome! Are you ready for some good clean fun! We’ve been working hard this month and now it’s time to party! OK, so it may not be as much fun as my Party Party, but I’ve got music! And a fantastic prize! I’m really hoping we can inspire and motivate each other in our domestic…
I’m guessing most of my readers have heard of the Nester, by now, but just in case you haven’t she has a great blog featuring do-able ways that we can beautify our homes. In her recent series, 10 minutes to a room you love, she gives ideas for quick fixes that can transform a room,…
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I sometimes refer to my parents as the “miracle workers” because when they come to town, miracles happen. Projects that have only been visions in my mind are miraculously brought to life. And things get done in a fraction of the time…

A year ago this time, I was anxiously awaiting the birth of my baby girl and needed some small projects to take my mind off of the guessing game of when she might make her debut. I had seen others writing messages on pumpkins and decided that the most appropriate message for us would be,…
(Inspiration board made up of Michael Miller fabrics, and IKEA furnishings)In a couple of weeks, my mother, who is a magician with a sewing machine, is coming to visit me. My dad is coming, too, and they don’t come to sight-see or vacation–they come to work! I am trying to get my brain organized enough…
Laurie, over at Tip Junkie, is inviting us to share a tour of some of our favorite things in our homes, for her “Talk To Me Tuesday” Feature. I’m going to cheat a little since we recently moved, and really haven’t started decorating our new house. I’m going to show pictures of decor from our…
