Wood, wood, everywhere! So what’s a girl to do?? I’ll tell you what. Break out a can of spray paint, tape, and some glitzy gold paint and get to work. The first step is deciding how much of the bowl you want to leave natural and how much you want to paint. For aesthetics, it’s best not to make it 50/50. In my case, I
A Celebration of Whimsical Table Settings
For the last three years I have had the pleasure of attending an event called ‘Set to Celebrate’ where a variety of designers, decorators and just plain ol’ simple folk (with TONS of talent) put their best foot forward and showcase a themed table or mantle at The Town and County Club in Hartford, Ct. And no, that’s not a typo. It’s County not Country
A Lighter, Brighter Hallway
It’s no secret I’m on a mission to lighten and brighten the cabin. At the same time, I’m trying to remain true to its rustic character. I think I achieved that with the recent kitchen wall project that you may remember. If not, go take a peak. You may also recall that initially Fisherman was hesitant about painting the wood. So was I! But we both
Apple Picking in the Berkshires
Can you stand one more post about Autumn here in New England? I promise this will be my last one, as it appears winter has already reared its not so pretty head. Yes my friends, we have experienced at least 2″ of snow this week. Ugh! But enough about that. Come with us while we head to my favorite orchard! There is decidedly a huge
Let’s Go Leaf Peeping!
Having lived in the Northeast all my life, I will admit to taking for granted, at times, the beauty of Autumn we experience every year. Now that I’m in New England and armed with my camera more often than not, it’s hard to ignore. Nor should I. If winter is mother nature’s solemn, thoughtful child, spring her adventurous one, and summer her creative progeny, then autumn is
A Week In New England
What could be better than spending a week in New England in Autumn? Quite simply, not much. We spent the weekend in Vermont, near a charming town called Chester that looks like Mayberry’s’ clone. For the icing on the cake, we happened to be there on a weekend when they were having a Fall Harvest Festival, and folks, no one does Harvest Festivals like New
The Kitchen Wall is Painted!
A few weeks ago I mentioned in ‘My Project Wish List‘ post that I was seriously considering painting at least one wall in the kitchen a soft white. I’ve felt for a very long time that there’s just way too much brown in our house. A hard thing to live with when you’re a lover of white. I was not expecting to be writing this
Acadia:Nature’s Miracle
I can’t wait to show you the pics from our recent trip to Acadia National Park, located just minutes from the lovely town of Bar Harbor, Maine. I don’t know why it’s taken us our entire lives to visit this beautiful part of the northeast, but now that we have, it’s one of the few places I can say I would love to revisit someday.
Mason Jar Love
Since my post last week I’ve been concentrating on three things…changing up some summer decor, working on a rock garden, and trying to pick the correct ‘white’ for our kitchen wall. I am not a huge seasonal decorator. I just don’t have the storage space, or truth be told, the desire, to change up a lot of my decor with the seasons. I’m more of
My Project Wish List
September makes my mind wander. Sometimes I dream about the vibrant, richly hued foliage soon to arrive here in New England, kayak excursions during sunset on the lake and walks in the woods with the sound of newly fallen leaves crackling beneath my feet. Oh yeah, baby! Back to reality. Mostly, I’m spending my time in the kitchen making soups, taking advantage of the Fall harvest of
