A Window without a View

Ok, technically, I think it’s a door, but it reminds me of millions of repurposed window ideas I’ve seen.  After removing the door from Sir Hutchington, I was left with, well, the door.  I’d like to do something with it, but I’m not sure what.  It’s sort of just on the wrong side of traditional/colonial …

I Bought Chaises!

I did a mood board recently for my living room and I’m happy to say that thanks to our tax return, I have started to take that mood board out of the internet and into the actual real live living room (live living room, HA!). You should know that I live within 12 minutes of …

I’ve learned to accept the truth that in life, nothing is ever really done.  Laundry, never done.  Cleaning, never done.  Getting in shape, never done.  It’s all a process.  The kitchen is not completely done, not even nearly a year later.  It has, however, come a LONG, LONG way. I bet you won’t even be …
