I’m going to be in a parade!

No, not a marching band.  Although, I will admit I once did play the big giant drum that you bang on both sides in a parade.  And yes, I know I should know what is called if I played it, but I don’t. This parade I will enjoy much more.     Beginning Sunday, May [...]

I have something in common with PB

Check out the wooden box on the desk featured in the latest Pottery Barn catalog. Does it look familiar? I found this at a yard sale last year.  The lady I bought it from said that wherever she had bought it, at a flea market I think, they had a bunch of them.  Funny to [...]

Please Come On By!

So, I finally have photos of our home on the “Our Home” tab above.  Please come in for a visit, wish we could have a cup of coffee together!  The living room and dining room currently have just one picture, but I will be adding more over the next week. We are finishing up Blondie’s [...]

Kitchen Makeover Before and After

White Farmhouse Kitchen Renovation

All resources for our kitchen can be found here. The layout measurements of our kitchen can be found here. In 2010, after 10 years in our home, we decided to renovate our kitchen. Nothing was wrong with it, but we were ready for something different and something that worked better for our family. Here is [...]

Pin It

Busy as a bee…

LOGOFINALFILES35_thumb.jpg

We have been very busy around these parts, getting ready for our upcoming sale, re-doing Blondie’s room and photographing the first floor to finally put up on the blog.  Of course, if we actually had some sun in these parts, the photographing part would be a lot easier! Anywho, while we work on finishing up [...]

DOL and It is Time

Sugaringtapday2011024.jpg

No, I did not misspell doll.  I meant to say DOL.  My daughter has a winter hat with those initials on it and it has stuck with me.  It stands for “Dream Out Loud”. So, that is what I am doing today, finally. I am no longer just saying I am going to do it [...]

Bad Primer and a Blown Hose

March2011117.jpg

So, Blondie’s room is primed.  Well, pretty much.  Not too happy with the primer my paint store sold me.  The top green color really did not fully get covered.  I got a second coat on almost everything, but then, I ran out.  Very frustrating.  This is where we started. The paper and border is off, [...]

A Munchkin and Teenagers are Not Evil

LOGOFINALFILES33.jpg

 So, I have mentioned before that Blondie had the amazing opportunity as a fifth grader to be part of the High School Drama Production of The Wiz.  What is she?  A Hip-Hop Munchkin of course! I was initially intimidated with figuring out the costume, the hair, the makeup, but in the end, she loves it [...]

Gallery Wall in my bedroom

I have not really shown you my bedroom at all, but here is a first little peak.  I have two shelves creating a changeable gallery area of favorite photos and mementoes. I see it each morning when I wake up, of course, after I put my glasses on.  These are the classics that I love [...]

Spring Mantel after a little zhushing…

I already posted my Spring Mantel, and I even said I was going to just leave it alone.  But of course, I didn’t, I tweaked it a little bit, took some better photos with better light, yaddy yaddy.  Sometimes I just cant stop myself. But mostly, I am reposting to let you know that I [...]
