Hey y’all! I finally wrangled the poker room I’ve made mention of into some semblance of order. There’s a lot still not done – the big projects are finishing & waxing the OUTSIDE of the sideboard, followed by more interior painting and waxing. Also, we’re swapping out the seat cushions from saloon red to...

Morning all! I feel a little disingenuous calling revealsies on my living room, since not a post goes by without my posting a picture of some part of the living room, but I’ve finally gotten to a point where there won’t be a lot more work being done in the room. You can stick your collective...

Paint-Chips

Morning all! As I continue to obsess about what goes INSIDE our house, Mr. Bug obsesses about the things I consider to be a bit more boring… air filters, caulking, all that sort of thing. One of our new projects has met happily right between our separate interests… deteriorated siding, meet paint color selection!...

Morning otters! As I mentioned the other day, when I moved my pink cane chairs from the living room to the breakfast room, I was left with a big, gaping hole in the family room. I INTENDED to practice patience and perseverance and perhaps even some fiscal responsibility and wait for the perfect replacements,...

Morning assorted marmots! So, I think I’ve managed to established that not only do I tend to go for the least expensive way to do things, but I also have a MacGyver like addiction to figuring out how to get something accomplished on my own, usually with materials on hand, rather than paying someone...

Hey y’all! I intended for this post to JUST be pictures of the little pillow I made for my little bench in my breakfast nook, but realized when gathering up the pictures that I haven’t FORMALLY introduced allyall to the newly painted table, my super-find of a little reclaimed wood bench or really the...

Morning all! I hope you had a safe and fun 4th of July – whether you were picnicking and fireworking or just regular, old Wednesday night-ing. I was so smug over the fact I managed to blog while on vacation (if one instagram photo can be considered blogging) that I completely spaced out planning...

Hey bunnies! So! Do you have a dream? I do. I dream of a giant warehouse full of dirt-cheap, vintage and antique furniture. That nobody else knows about. And guess what I found last Friday! Yes! You guessed it! Dirt-cheap-super-awesome-furniture in a little out of the way storage locker! So. This all started last...

Morning ducks! OK, so who’s off all week to celebrate our independence from evil overlords? I gotta tell you – the company I work for is based in the UK, and I have fairly frequent phonecalls with my colleagues ‘across the pond’ (THEY all love saying across the pond, I feel sort of silly...
