One of my favorite pastimes is bird watching. I also love to put feeders up and enjoy watching the wild birds when they come to the feeders. I live in NE Ohio, and this week, the homeowners’ association sent out a notice warning residents about possible illnesses in local geese and ducks. We are on
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
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
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.

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. I no longer cook big family dinners; instead, I go to my kids’ houses. This year I chose to upgrade the dining table decor and decorate
Today we hung drapes in the sitting room. You know I downsized to a condo if you have followed me over the years. We used to live six months in Ireland in a carriage house and then a Granny flat; and six months in Ohio. I now live here in Ohio permanently. I usually tried
I have always scorned starting Christmas decorations early, i.e., before Thanksgiving. I realize I was wrong about that. In the past, I thought about looking for inspiration after Thanksgiving and found that if I needed to buy anything for the decor plan. I never got in it on time, or it was out of stock
Today I added some more sunflower bits to the bird feeder on the deck. Yesterday I got a bunch of birds- a lot more than in the past few weeks. Perhaps the cooler weather may have bought them out. There was a woodpecker, the usual finches- house, red, and yellow. A few chickadees and a
