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.
I have a joke about my dining room chairs. I say they took me four naps to re-glue and paint. Although that was seven years ago and they just need to get thrown in the dumpster now. The point was that, when you have a baby, you have to dare to grab the moment and…
So, if you’ve followed our baby story, you know that we didn’t know which flavor baby we were having. And that meant the redecorating effort went to Eamon’s room. I couldn’t even begin to think about a gender neutral redecoration of the guest bedroom cum baby’s room. It was already very purple. So when we…
I am a secret style stalker. For years I watch shows, look at magazines, and fiddle with my own interiors, dreaming of my own spaces to play in. Although a friend and I agreed, blogs are for saying, “Look what I did !” , I was gathering the confidence to show you. Because, when you…
It’s Sunday again and I’m missing the Walking Dead series on AMC again. When the door slams shut on that pre-parent life, one can feel a little isolated. Lost in my life without my cozy routine. My last baby had me reeling, read and remember with the Post Partum depression post. Thankfully, I have more…
Just like last time I was pregnant, I got this crazy notion to get jiggy with painting the kid’s room. Eight years ago, not knowing the gender of our first-born, I painted a green background with cream vertical stripes and hand painted ribbons cascading down in fuchsia, purple, orange, and aqua. My husband said, if…
When we first moved to or house in the boonies, I discovered the Home and Garden Network on my new cable box/best friend. We were renovating the house on a “budget”, as in cheaply as possible without making any real progress that money would require. Channel 43 became my bestest friend outside of General Hospital…
For many, the “To Do” list is a favorite treasured angst. The baby/hospital prepare list and the bucket list are two other versions of lists at different life phases. Sometimes tasks are just tasks. And sometimes they hold more importance in your head than what they seem to on paper. There’s always one last item…
This morning I was asking my husband what he thought of as a visual for good fortune, as this is my friend’s blog picture post theme. “A person walking away from a mangled car”, he offered. And, now thinking about it, I’d offer up a picture of me pregnant for that matter. COMPUTER VIRUSES Sadly,…
Many others suffer from the same love/passion/obsessive compulsive disorder of redecorating for seasons/holidays/bouts with boredom (/ wrists) as I do. So here came the fall/Halloween season and I still hadn’t brought the boxes down from the attic. No excuse is ever good enough but here’s mine. Since I’m four and a half months pregnant in…
As you may know, my love of decorating, design, and DIY is deep. I’m a visual voyeur to more than a few design blogs. Whether I found her by Pinterest or by blogroll ( a ‘who I like’ list on the sidebar of a blog), there’s one gal who’s work and projects I like and…
