I was reading blogs on my iPad this morning and noticed a call out on new colors for Fall, black and brown, tans and grays. I found the combination attractive; especially the tan and gray combination. Before bed last night, I was reading a historical fiction mystery: a very light series set in late 1800
My newest architectural salvage project involves the ceiling in my dining area off the kitchen in the Ohio condo. For the past two years, I have been redecorating the Ohio condo. We kept debating whether we should sell the big condo and go to a small house with land for a double workshop. In the
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 am not a seamstress. All my clothing gets sent out for alteration. I do have a modern sewing machine because I wanted to be able to hem my pants and skirts. I am a short person, you know vertically challenged? I also wanted to use the machine for crafts but have never been able
A Review of Wise Owl Wax Salve John and I have been painting furniture for a good eight years now. In those eight years, we have used a multitude of products and settled into a few favorites. Lately, I’ve noticed an increase in a variety of products on the market for furniture detailing. New paints
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
I spent most of my winter in Ohio redecorating the inside of the house. It was too cold for me to be outside and I am unsure of driving in the snow after spending so many winters in Ireland. If you remember, I had to return from Ireland to get my leaking shower redone after
