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. It rained "monsoon style" all day long on Saturday, but being the determined, crazy woman that I am, I dragged the tall urns from the deck onto the porch and replanted those as I had planned. … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 202nd Metamorphosis Monday! Georgia is a crazy place to live, weather-wise. If you have a convertible you're pretty much guaranteed a few days every single month, even during the wintertime, when you'll be able to throw down the top and enjoy the warm breezes. 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...]
Welcome to the 145th Metamorphosis Monday! A few years ago I purchased some outdoor string lighting from Hobby Lobby. It was perfect for my deck(s) because it was white and the decks are painted white. I spent several hours one afternoon, running it around the top of the pergola to the right of the screened-in porch and under the arm rail of the deck to the left of the porch. Within the year, … [Read more...]
While we continue enjoying all the wonderful links for yesterday's Met Monday, I thought I would share some of the progress I made in the office, today. In case you are new to BNOTP, for the last couple of months I've been converting my son's old bedroom into a home office. You can see the Before HERE and HERE. I covered everything up. I put "you-know-who" on the screened-in porch so he wouldn't … [Read more...]

Life just got better... ...because of this. Safe and Simple is the best wallpaper remover, ever. Hands down! This is the stuff professional wallpaper removers use and they use it because it actually works! Why it isn't in every Home Depot and Lowe's in the world, I do not know. So, while Mr. Max does this... I'm doing this... While listening to this. Life is good. … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 106th Metamorphosis Monday! Meet my new best friend, Wagner. He's a little finicky but for the most part he and I are getting along okay. He tends to drool a little and runs out of water sooner than he is supposed to...but that's okay. He gives me an excuse to take a little break every half hour. With Wagner, I can pull off strips of wallpaper this size... And sometimes, this … [Read more...]
Hi Everyone! How is your weekend going? I'm doing non-fun but necessary stuff around the house...like changing an intake vent that has been buzzing, buzzing, buzzing. WOW...amazing how a little thing like that can make a big difference. When they installed my new furnace/ac systems a few years ago...the vent started buzzing. I tried tightening the screws and then I tried loosening the screws. I even … [Read more...]
