Sometimes I have an idea and it just doesn’t work…. A few weeks ago I figured it would be fun to make my owl into my own version of this owl lamp.  I was so confident it would work I went ahead and bought the light kit.  It took a few weeks to find the [...]

Lots of you have asked about that This is the Life big wooden sign up on my mantle.   I got it last summer from One Kings Lane and I could not figure out who the creator was.  There was no marking on the back and I never really looked that closely at it so I [...]

From Hate to Love

I love this wall. I used to hate it.  It was completely awkward and is the main wall in our downstairs area, it’s just a wall island with a closet and some kitchen cabinets on the other side. You can kind of see the wall in this photo behind the toile sofa before I moved [...]

Are you so tired of me talking about this table? I wrote an entire post about how we use this table just a few months ago.  We bought it for $40 about nine years ago.  That was back when lots of KMarts were going out of business.  It’s just your average inexpensive kitchen table that [...]
