I was so proud of myself to buy the grow lights and figure out that I could start lots of seeds early so they'd be ready to go in the …
...And that is what I consider a sizeable accomplishment. Self-pat on back. Pete had installed that new window in his parent's house several weeks ago. I did a little bit of …
Accessorizing your house with unlikely possessions isn't anything new. This isn't earth shattering, it's just my mantle and a little piece of unexpected sumthin-sumthin. It started as a small Christmas gift …
I approached this whole paint-a-border-on-the-sunroom-floor thing with patience. This is not common of me. It took a while to select a floor stencil design to apply (unusually indecisive), and then I took …

Things don't always come together so easily. Pete won a sexy little 19" flat LED TV at a work function around the holidays (read: totally free), but since he didn't know where …
I'm excited to share with you the second of (what-I-hope-becomes) many installments of my beloved Work-pad features! Amber Perrodin, an Arkansas-based artist who I happened upon naturally on Etsy several …
I've been patiently waiting for the weather to improve in NY because once it's warm enough, I know I'll be able to work in the 3-season room, that sunroom off …
Pete + I spent a nice long weekend in D.C. sightseeing and visiting with friends. I did take 255 pictures, although 249 of them were with my iPhone because I …
I fixed that Sauder shelf last week and was immediately happy to have it as extra storage and extra detail in the living room, mostly because this gives me fair …

I've had 2 chinese menus and 4 landscaper ads tucked into my front door this week which means it's officially springtime again! And it's time for front yard repair. More …
If you're lucky, you might find a the distressed plants section of your favorite home and garden store this time of the year. This particular display makes me kind of …
