Today was my first online auction, and I am afraid I made a few mistakes and lost out on my favorite item. I noticed an auction site at the entry to my allotment a few weeks ago. Initially, I thought the local country club was being updated and selling off the older furniture left after
A few days ago, I posted about the demolition of my old master bath shower. HERE My old shower grouting failed, and I wanted to avoid grout in the new shower, so I opted for a cultured marble shower. I used Hartville Hardware Remodel as my contractor for the remodel and I a pleased with
We always had a walk-in shower. Last year when we remodeled the house, I decided to let the shower go until a later time because we had done so much on the upper level already. So the only change in the master bath was new granite countertops, set-in sinks, and a commode. However, the gods

I have always had a rose garden in every home we purchased. I moved to Ohio in the mid-seventies and planted roses which I thoroughly enjoyed. Roses do take a bit of work, and I am not the most caregiving rose owner. But I never experienced the problems with my roses that occurred this Summer.

My son and his family have been vacationing in South Carolina- an area about an hour north of Myrtle Beach somewhere around Cherry Grove. Every time they go on vacation, I have watched their dog, Indiana. My boys grew up with pets. I wasn’t allowed to have a pet growing up, so as soon as

I find I love a more naturalist form than a heavily designed produced form in many things. If you come to the house you can easily see I am not a minimalist at all. I love all my bits and pieces and I do tend to fill a room with “stuff” that has meaning for
