Decorating, Tablescaping, Before and Afters, Thrifty Finds, and Gardening
Welcome to the 224th Metamorphosis Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. This was one of those weekends where I had a long list of things I really wanted to get done but Mother Nature had other plans.

We're in one of those periods right now. This was the scene in my kitchen yesterday. The door to the porch was wide open and … [Read more...]
A few years ago I stumbled across some old windows in one of my fave antiquing haunts. They were only $2 each so I bought several thinking one day I might make one of these. Come a bit closer and check it out. Isn't it adorable? Let's peek inside. Love! I didn't buy it since I don't have a great place where I can display it. Plus, it was over $300! Probably worth it … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 54th Metamorphosis Monday! For this week's Met Monday, I'm sharing a small but fun little metamorphosis in my china closet. You may remember when I posted a while back about the little redo of this space...it was really being poorly utilized. It was being used to store deck cushions that were rarely used. After a little renovation, (you may read about HERE) it looked like … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 35th Metamorphosis Monday! Where in the world do you store all that china? I get that question a lot. Since several folks have left comments or e-mailed recently asking about china storage, I'm pulling out an oldie but goodie post for this Met Monday.

Then they took a … [Read more...]
