I’m so excited to show you my latest finds! And you’re not going to believe the prices I paid!! This first one was tagged at $120 at the start of the day. I reluctantly left it behind, even though I felt it was worth every penny. At around 3 o’clock, I happened to be in the area again and thought I would take a second
Mod Podged Bullhead
Everything old is new again. Modge Podge has been around for so long, but it seems to be making a huge comeback, and for good reason. There is literally no end to the creative projects out there in blogland using this amazing stuff, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon. My friend Elaine gave me this black bullhead made out of plastic and I
Autumn Tablescapes
I’m definitely starting to see hints that Autumn is in full swing. Trees are already starting to turn, leaves are beginning to fall, and the days are getting shorter. That last part I don’t like too much. I love when it stays light until 9 p.m., but other than that, I love Autumn, and I have to say September is my favorite month of the year.
Easy (and free) centerpiece project!
If you’re a blogger that blogs about diy projects, crafts and/or home design, you know one of the biggest challenges we face is trying to come up with projects no one has thought of before. With literally hundreds of thousands of bloggers, most of whom are super creative, this is no easy task. Well, a few weeks ago I *thought* I came up with a
Living Room Before/After
When I first started blogging back in April, one of my first posts was about theme decorating and the pitfalls that can happen when you over indulge (like, ahem, I did!). These are pics of our weekend home which, obviously, is a log cabin. The style is quite different from our primary home, so it was natural to want to do something that highlights the differences,
A fitting farewell to Summer
Sunset has always been my favorite time of day. Something about the calmness of the water during this time is therapeutic. One of my favorite things to do while we are up at the lake is to take the kayak out just as day gives way to night. If everyone would have the opportunity to do this, therapists would need to find another line of work. On
The cutest house EVER!
Hey there! I hope you had a wonderful ‘unofficial end of summer’ weekend! We had great weather here in the Northeast, and we made the most of it. We headed out early on Wednesday night to our cabin for the weekend and were able to spend 5 days by the lake. It was heaven and we feel so fortunate we have such a lovely place
What kind of gardener are you?
Designing a garden can be lots of fun, but it can also be overwhelming. Not only do our personal preferences come into play, but unlike our interiors, we have to think about the fact that mother nature may have different ideas. We may want lush rose bushes in the front of our house, but if it’s mostly shaded, it ain’t gonna happen. Just as we
DIY Wall Art
If you ask me if I can draw, I would laugh and say the only thing worse than my singing is my drawing. If you asked me to draw a person, this is exactly what you would get. So you say you can’t draw a straight line? Me either. But the funny thing about art is, rarely does it involve straight lines, so you’re going to
Staining a stone fireplace
Our fireplace at the cabin, as you can see, is stone. Initially, I was very happy with it, but as of late I had begun to feel that it was a little dull looking, and the vents really, really, bothered me. They were a bit dirty and ironically I felt that even though they were light and blended with the stones, they actually stand out
