Fall Finally

I have a confession to make.  Fall is my favorite.  Not glorious summer or precious spring.  It’s fall.  I know it’s the precursor to winter.  I know it means less daylight.  I know it means chilly mornings and leaves to be raked.  I love it anyway.  I love the coziness of fall and apple picking …

Smoothie, Anyone?

So, I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but I haven’t updated my Fit By Forty page in many months.  And, yes, forty, has already arrived and is nearly halfway over.  Goal not achieved.  I’ve left the page up as a silent mocking of myself every time I look at the site.  It’s not that …

I have had this little mid century chest that I bought at a yard sale for several years.  It was a bit beat up, but I loved the shape of it and it has a good amount of storage.  I’m a huge fan of any mid century modern decor. My husband, on the other hand, …

Tips for a (mostly) No Sew Reupholstered Chair

I love a project that improves upon something that is important to me.  I have this chair.  It’s a very comfy little wing back chair. It was a hand me down from my husband’s great aunt Pal (that was her name, Pal.  Awesome, right?) who passed away several years ago.  Wait, more than several.  In fact, …
