Pardon our mess! We’re moving hosting providers and making some updates to the site. Any broken images will be back soon.
Thanks for your patience!
We moved from a big city to a small town and my task for the first year was to recreate this ancient house into a home. Since everything I do needs to be unique (read non-conformist), my house is obviously one of a kind. My style is old world, new way.
The leaves have fallen off their pretty perches. Sometimes one by one and sometimes all at once. But fall they will. I find it so natural to celebrate the change and honor the actions of each season. This one, Autumn, makes me want to wander and admire the tree rainbows and gather its plumage to…
So I have this not good thing about sewing. We all have our things. And sewing is one of mine. Sewing and I used to be like this. But then several factors helped to make it a thing. #1 – My husband got me a new machine at some point which was a nice thing…
You know how you decide you’re going to do something and then you keep postponing it. And putting it off. And scheduling it to then reschedule it. Well that was definitely happening with my house decorating tour video shoot. You may or not remember my making this promise in My Decorating Style post. I, like…
When we moved into this house, I wanted to change everything. And I almost did. I randomly and creatively reformed this old house into an artist’s house. It’s something I just do. I Hardly ever buy newly made stuff. No way. I must have unique homemade and thrifted stuff. And use it in a totally…
I’ve noticed the theme of proactive versus reactive popping up in my life regularly. I mentioned it a couple posts back in passing. And since I keep noticing it, it’s time to take a harder look at what this means. Every action that’s taken is proactive or reactive. Let me show you what reactive looks…

Since Christmas had been stripped, decorations remained un-replaced. I raced up the steep attic steps to fetch my decorative stuff from the various bins. The house desperately needs…
My love of fresh flowers is deep and true. When I worked for Pama at Moonvine, I was very lucky to not only spend time with flowers but also learn their names and discover what I loved . And a party is just an excuse to order flowers to play with. I’m such a flower…
This past weekend was the Big Bash for the One Year-Old Fiona Marie. As usual, a party is always a good excuse for playtime. I perused the place of pins and knew I needed a paper feathers garland . I used a copper sharpie and some other metallic paint pens coupled with old music, handmade purple…
Two problems with creatives. We’re control freaks and we’re often a little later getting to stuff. Or is that just me? I know I have already told you too much about my few Christmas disturbances. That my expectations about having time to play and then take pictures and put those up on the blog…
The fun of decorating for Christmas is in the bringing inside of live plants. The live tree is still a must for me. We had a fresh wreath on the door and the heady sweet musky scent of pine gets trapped inside the storm door and hits you on your way through the door. However,…
