Hey, friends! I’m in the best mood!! Why? Because it’s October and October means HALLOWEEN! The scarier, the better! I’m going to level with you all – we are a rather twisted family. I can promise you, we have more in common with the Addams Family than The Cleavers. If we were left to our […]

Well, for the first time in awhile, *I* had a good weekend thrifting!! For the last several weeks, all the good finds at the shops had been for my husband, or one of my kids, or even for my mother-in-law! Finally, this weekend, I made some good finds for ME! This is why I start […]
Last week, in one of my warts-and-all moments, I shared with you the disaster zone that was my closet. Before I could tackle all the fun stuff of making my bedroom over into the oasis/sanctuary of my dreams, I knew I had to tackle this mess: So, after gathering some great goodies to make over my […]
Hey, there! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Here, the weather is definitely cooler and it’s moving into Fall. We had highs in the 70s and I’m LOVING it!!! October is my FAVORITE month with my FAVORITE holiday! I didn’t get to do my Goodwill runs this weekend, which is kind of bugging me. I […]
You have heard, I’m sure, the old adage “The cobbler’s children go barefoot,” right? Well, unless you are talking about cherry cobbler (and why would we be talking about cherry cobbler?), the same can sometimes be said of rehabbers and decorators!While I love making things pretty for others, my own bedroom has been a room […]
Well, hi again, friends!

So, since it’s all rainy outside and I can’t blog from my […]
I love this little trick and I’ve used it many times, since we have movie and music posters of all sizes throughout our house, particularly in family room! My daughter is currently going through her obligatory Johnny Depp phase (well, I mean, who hasn’t?) and her brother got her a really cool poster for her […]
Hey, friends! It’s Monday and after the busy weekend we had, including my middle son’s graduation, I now have a ton of housework to catch up on. So, as a general rule, I will cut corners wherever I can to expedite the catch-up process! One of my tricks is to throw anything and everything that […]
I didn’t intend to do a full makeover. Really, I just meant to throw a new coat of paint on the walls… First of all, your sanctuary should be inviting! You should want to spend time there, rest there, read there, snuggle with the spouse there, bounce on the bed with the kids there! Mine […]
As you may know, for Mother’s Day (and then some), I undertook remodeling my mother-in-law’s kitchen while she was visiting her family back in Scotland. I knew this would be a big project. While I didn’t have to replace appliances or do a major build, there was a lot of work to do, but I […]
