You may remember seeing my living room before around here from time to time. Welcome Back! Today my living room is the scene of a bit of an oddity, the unsittably pillowed chair! I’m sure many of you reading today have a pillow problem as well. It’s not that I necessarily buy or make too […]

The front hall project continues! I’ve been trying to tackle the floors a little at a time, but only when Kennedy’s out of the house, because of the toxic adhesive remover and all that. The problem is, the adhesive remover actually smells really good, all citrusy and clean, so you kinda want to smell it. […]

So a couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, we were sitting in the dining room eating our lunch. Chris was reading the paper. He looked up and said semi-mockingly, “Oh no, we’re going to miss the Dover Cruise this weekend.” we were heading out to the beach in a couple of hours. “What’s that?” […]

Oh, this garden. I just can’t keep up with it lately. Kennedy and I took these photos last week and it looks nothing like this now. It’s suddenly much, much fuller. This is the time of year when the corn grows taller by the hour, And you give up on fighting weeds and bugs altogether. […]

The heat wave is gone this week and the weather has just been so perfect. Let’s go for a little walk outside. I want to show you what I’ve been working on out here for 15 minutes every day. I re-learned something that I’ve forgotten about this year. You guessed it. Mulch. You see, I’ve […]

I debated back and forth a bit with myself this week about whether or not to show you yet another update on my front hall. I’ve already shown you soooo many photos of a half-finished hall, how much more can you really take? How interesting can that really be? The real answer is infinitely. It’s […]

Well, yes, actually I am. I’m sure that I like all these cafe curtains that I’ve been seeing around. I’m sure that I like the idea behind mine and I think it was fun to totally cheat my way through making them. I’m not sure that I like these particular ones in this particular front […]

I’ve been keeping something from you. You know how I get to live on this amazing beautiful property, right? It’s the stuff that dreams are made of, this place. Even with a million foot garden hose in the picture. The thing is, I’ve let it get like this: It’s a junk heap and it’s embarrassing. […]
