I’ve had quite a few comments from various readers about some of the rag wreaths I’ve been using lately, so I wanted to show you all just how fun and easy they are to make. I thought rather than doing a tedious photo tutorial this time, I might as well just sit down and show […]

OK, I have 70 billion chalkboards. I really need to stop. But I’ve had this idea in my head to make a huge one out of a really ugly framed picture from our old house. So I did. My ugly and bare kitchen walls are starting to make me sad, so I thought this would […]

Along with all the of the boring, yet important organizational stuff I worked on last week, I also managed to do a few things to pretty up the place, mostly involving paint. The living room gets the brunt of my decorating experimentation just because it’s probably the least offensive room visually in the house right […]

I love my front door. OK, it’s not really the front door, it’s more of a side door. It leads from the mudroom into the kitchen. But it’s the door we use most, anyway. I painted it red to cover up the weird green that was underneath. I’ve enjoyed it, but thought I would never […]

Do you ever feel like you’re really good at decorating for some seasons, but really not so good at others? This is my not so good season. First of all, Spring and Easter are all about cutesy, and I’m not so talented with the cutesy execution. I like cutesy. I just can’t make it work. […]
