I’m not doing much holiday decorating this year. Now don’t go feeling all sorry for me or anything. Believe me, there’s no direct correlation between my self-esteem and how pimped up my house is this time of year. When we moved in April, I got rid of pretty much all our holiday stuff except our ornaments. This will be the third year in a row we
How To Restain A Wood Table Top
I’m probably the only blogger in the history of blogging who writes about a table redo a few days before Thanksgiving! I know I should be writing about food or tablescapes or other things holiday related, but indulge me, ok? I’ve talked about our small dining table before here and more recently, here where I mentioned the sanding of this table was turning out to be more work
Set To Celebrate! (Part 2)
Are you starting to get into the spirit of the holidays? If not, I think some of these pictures will help :). If you missed my last post on Sunday, you may want to click here. (Since there were too many pictures to put in one post, I thought I’d divide them up a bit.) Although most of the tables had a holiday
Set To Celebrate!
Are you looking at this from your phone? If you are, you may want to consider moseying on over to a desktop, or at least an iPad. You’re going to want to see this from a larger screen so you can fully appreciate all the delicious eye candy you’re about to see. Saturday I went to a fundraiser called ‘Set To Celebrate’ in Hartford, Ct.
Autumn In New England (and other random tidbits)
Autumn in New England is special, and I don’t take it for granted. Not for a minute. People come from all over to experience the beauty that is Autumn here in New England, and why wouldn’t they? If there is anything more spectacular, I have yet to see it. On my way to the gym, (at least twice a week. You didn’t think my
A Romantic Autumn Table For Two
I love putting together a pretty table, but I think I enjoy putting together Autumn tables most of all. Maybe it’s because they lend themselves so well to the warm tones that I’m drawn to. The golds, coppers and bronzes reflect both a sophisticated and cozy feeling which I love. Almost everything on this table came from Pier I, by far one of my favorite
Where All Our Junk Is, aka ‘The Shed’
Let’s be honest. Have you ever seen anyone make such a big deal out of a storage shed? It’s not even a cute one. There’s no windows or sweet little window boxes. There’s no adorable cupola or even pretty flowers around it. And there isn’t even super cool organizing systems inside. But, I admit it. I’m more than a little obsessed with this space.
Vintage Treasures aka ‘Junk I Don’t Need’
You know the feeling. I know you do. You see something at a garage sale and your heart skips a beat. But you’ve been down this road before, so you remain cool. So cool you would make James Dean look like George Costanza, minus the hat and leather jacket. You say to the guy, very casually – what are you asking for this thing? You
Sometimes you just need some fabric…
Some fabric, and at least half a day all to yourself. That about sums up my day last Thursday. It was a day of revelations and courage. Pretty strong words for a post about tablecloths and napkins. Revelations because I finally realized I wanted to return to my color roots, aka THE LAND OF NEUTRALS. I’ve been getting tired of the reds and greens . Although I love
Our Excellent RV Adventure
Well, we finally did it. We rented an RV and went to the Cape to get a feel for the lifestyle and figure out if we might want to purchase one. As you might have guessed from the name of this post, I believe the answer is a resounding ‘YES’! Many people who know me might be surprised to learn I was driving this glorified
