So far, I have been able to sit in my sunroom most of the time this winter. I have one baseboard heater, which has been able to keep up with the cold. However, this recent wave of Artic Vertex subzero weather concerns me. I have most of my larger plants in the sunroom. I have
One of my favorite rooms in my condo is the Four Seasons room. My sunroom, off the kitchen/dining area, is supposedly a four-season room. However, it is a three-season room when the winter temperatures drop into the single digits at night, and the daytime highs are in the low twenties. In an attempt to mitigate
Last week, I told you about my battle with an invasive weed known by many names: bishop’s weed, goutweed, ground elder, and Snow on the Mt., among others. SEE HERE. Originally imported into the country as a decorative ground cover, it comes in two variations: green and variegated cream and green. You can find both
For quite some time, I have been dealing with a nuisance in the form of a little green plant known as Goutweed, Ground Elder, Bishop’s weed, and other names. SEE WIKI. It comes in either a green or green and white variegated variety. Historically, it has been used for medicinal purposes related to gout, but
First, I must apologize for this post. It is very short and different from what one would expect. I am posting it because I finally got this thing put together and in a bird bath—I have had it on a shelf since 2022! But mostly, I want to post a mini post to try and
Time to begin work on the outside of the house. I did a bunch of redos and upgrades in the house over the winter which I will share with you later. Today I want to show you my new bird feeder. My wood deck has become the sorse for wear over the past few years.
I have an old, smaller, three-drawer dresser in my bathroom. It dates back to the 2000s when painted furniture with dabbles of colored wax was an in-thing. Somehow, a white ring appeared on the top of the dresser. It wouldn’t go off, and I got a little too aggressive and took the paint and wax
For those who have followed me over the years in my many manifestations. I wrote about a Fox Squirrel- a new entity for me, in our garden a few years ago, SEE HERE. The fox squirrel is the largest in North America. They average 20 -30 inches long and weigh about 1 to 3 pounds.
Initial Work Plan The Good We decided to remodel our guest bathroom. It is a small room measuring ten by five feet. It was original to the condo and needed a refresh. We remodeled the ensuite bathroom a couple of years ago after repainting the entire upper level and upgrading the kitchen and sitting rooms.
My condo roofline is deeply pitched to allow for a central cathedral ceiling. It was built in the 1980s when the great room-open plan interior thrived. From the front door, you enter a large open rectangular room with a high A -shape-pitched ceiling. The foyer is at one end of the great room with a
After a couple of years of holiday blahs, I decided to decorate the house for Christmas. In the last post, I shared my updated dining room decor with Christmas decor. Today I am sharing the sitting room. I use an artificial tree now and have used this white light tree in the living room for
Today I want to share with you my dining room Christmas decorations excursion. I rarely decorated the dining room because I needed all the space to serve family dinners.
