Solar Post Caps for the Decks
Exhausted! That describes me today. Every year or two I have a company come out to pressure wash the decks and screened-in porch. The process is exhausting but everything always looks great once it's done. I had to take the sheers back down. I also covered up the outdoor speakers and the table since it was too large to really move anywhere. The outdoor wicker was moved onto the deck. Table chairs, sheers, cushions, wreaths, … [Continue Reading...]

Spots and Spotlights: A Live Interview with the Mid-Morning Show on WBCL
Shaking in my boots. Okay, it was more like shaking in my sneakers. ;) This morning I had the pleasure of being interviewed LIVE for the radio show, Spots and Spotlights, hosted by Lynne Ford and Bekah Shaffer. It was that "live" part that had me just a tad nervous but Lynne and Bekah are so wonderful, they quickly put me at ease. If you're here visiting for the first time, Welcome! So glad you're here...we have a good time around … [Continue Reading...]
Taylor Swift’s Beachfront Home in Rhode Island
I'm about to reveal something terribly shocking right here on zay blog, something I've never shared ever before. I'm a big Taylor Swift fan! I think she is absolutely adorable and I love almost all of her songs. Can you believe it, a grown woman loving songs most likely written for love-sick teenagers. I also love a good music video and one I never tire of watching is the one created to go with her song, Love Story. It has … [Continue Reading...]
The Morning Room
Welcome to the 223rd Metamorphosis Monday! Do you have a room in your home that's your absolute favorite spot to be in the early morning? My upstairs family room is that room for me. You may recognize the next 2-3 pictures since I've shared them before here on BNOTP. This room is a cheerful, bright room, but early in the morning it's truly a sunny, happy spot to be. One of the reasons this room is so bright during the day is because it … [Continue Reading...]
The Rescue
Each week when I take Max to Georgia Veterinary Specialist for his chemo treatment, I pass by a wonderful sculpture just outside their front entrance. I've been meaning to take my camera to capture some pics for you but unfortunately, I keep forgetting it. While there today I took a few pictures with my cellphone. They aren't the greatest but I hope you'll enjoy them. The sculpture is called, The Rescue and it was created by Glenna … [Continue Reading...]

Navy and White: Great for a Nautical Themed Table Setting
Welcome to the 241st Tablescape Thursday! Spring is here, the weather is fabulous and I couldn't wait to experiment with a summer-beach themed table setting here on the porch. I love a blue and white themed tablescape. They always feel so crisp, so fresh. This was an inexpensive table setting to create. The dishes are from a 6 place setting I've had for a few years. The set was only $19.99 at Big Lots and the glasses were … [Continue Reading...]
Sabrina: Tour the Waterfront Cottage on Martha’s Vineyard
Yesterday we toured the beautiful Long Island estate located in Glen Cove that was used in the filming of the 1995 version of the movie, Sabrina. During the movie, Linus Larrabee does everything he can to keep his brother David away from Sabrina who has just returned from living in Paris for an extended period. Sabrina left for Paris an awkward young girl, but she returned a beautiful, sophisticated woman. To keep David and Sabrina apart, … [Continue Reading...]
Sabrina: Tour the Beautiful Glen Cove Estate in the Movie
I'm a total sucker for romantic comedies. Life may not always turn out the way it does in the movies, but it sure is fun to "escape" to a fantasy world where the guy always gets the girl and the girl always gets her Prince Charming, even if he is slightly flawed in the beginning. Sabrina, a 1995 remake of the Billy Wilder 1954 original with Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden, is a rom com with an interesting twist that keeps … [Continue Reading...]
