Recently a friend of mine has been getting the itch to redo her country kitchen, but doesn’t want to spend a ton. I figured this was a project some of you might welcome and we’re hoping for some ideas that don’t cost too much. She’s looking to move away from the country feel, which can be a challenge since she’s not getting rid of the
Help Us Design Our Deck
I’ve been wanting a deck for what seems like forever at the cabin. The front of the cabin has a screened in porch on the right, and the left is covered but not screened in. We use the screened in part of the deck as a sitting area, and when it’s nice out it’s my favorite room in the house, so since we don’t have
The Cutest Little Boy Ever!
I was going to share some projects and tidbits about our weekend, but that will have to wait. Allow me to indulge myself and brag about our grandson Maddox, who just turned 3. Technically, he’s my step-grandson so we don’t share any genes and I can’t take any credit for his out-of-the park adorableness. He looks like his mom, my stepson’s wife, who is a
Why I Didn’t Do Any Projects This Weekend…
I’m tired. Not the ‘I did so much stuff’ kind of tired though. Wish it was. It’s more like the ‘I’m emotionally drained’ kind of tired. Lately, my computer has been getting tons of popups. The kind where you see some creepy guys face on your screen and it says you can check to see if child molesters are in your neighborhood. No thanks. I’ll
A Casual Lakeside Wedding
Don’t you all just love weddings? I know I do, even if I don’t know the bride or groom. Such was the case last weekend when my friend Cheryl and I were coming back from a flea market (more on that in another post) and we noticed this set up on the main beach by the lake. Both of us have daughters getting married next
What I Want for Mother’s Day
If I can’t have more of these days… Or these days… I’ll take these days… Had you once asked what’s the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen, I might have said it’s the ocean waves crashing relentlessly on the shore. Or maybe I would have said it’s the sun setting on the beach on the west coast of Kauai. No, I think I might
It’s My Blogoversary!
Whew!! Today marks exactly 1 year since I wrote my very first post. What started out as something of a whim has grown into an almost full time endeavor and has brought with it tons of challenges and unexpected surprises. I had no idea when I started this blog how much I would need to learn just to keep my head above cyber-water. If you
Meet Chuckie
The blogosphere is a beautiful thing. There are blogs that will inspire you with stunning photos and eloquent writing. There are blogs that will teach you how to whip up a gourmet meal in a NY minute. There are blogs that will show you how to build a 4000 sq. ft. home out of a few pallets… And then there is my blog. This is
Kitchen Island Question
I need your help. You know how sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees and you get stuck with design decisions? Especially ones that are somewhat permanent? That’s how I feel right now and I’d love some feedback. First and foremost, let me explain in advance the lack of more detailed photos of the space in question. This kitchen is at our weekend
Moving On
It was moving day, and I stood in the middle of what was once our bedroom. Now it’s empty, and I stood there alone except for the drapes and some dust we left behind. I marveled at how quickly four men can suck the life and furniture out of a house and into a truck. Twenty six years ago, one by one the cabinets were
