The Plantation Shutters Are Finally Here And Installed! Do They Look The Way You Expected?
Welcome to the 820th Metamorphosis Monday! Oh my gosh, I have so much I want to tell you about the trip up to Ohio but I will save that for a future post because it was quite the adventure. Ha! Everything went really well until I hit the Cincinnati area. They had completely shut down all of I-75 North for the weekend to do road work. When I first left early that morning, Waze said something implying I-75 in Cincinnati was shut down, but I thought that meant there … [Continue Reading...]
French Market Dining Set Is Here & I Finally Found Lamps For My Bedroom
Yesterday was delivery day for the French Market Dining Set. This dining set comes with four chairs but I purchased two additional chairs since the table seats six without its leaf, and eight with. When the delivery guys arrived, the two extra chairs I had purchased were missing. When they first stepped off the truck, they were carrying two bags that had skinny brown legs sticking out of them. I stopped them and told them that wasn't my order. I … [Continue Reading...]
The Last Of The Sunflowers
Welcome to the 837th Tablescape Thursday! Today is delivery day. As I type this, the table and chairs I have purchased for the Dollhouse dining room are somewhere out there rolling around on a delivery truck. I'm the 4th stop of the day, so it should be arriving sometime today between 11-3:00 pm. I paid extra for Rooms To Go's premium delivery plan which includes unpacking and setting up the table/chairs in the room of your choice. I won't be asking them to put … [Continue Reading...]

Welcome to the 819th Metamorphosis Monday! Whenever I'm at the Dollhouse, there are always a lot of Before and Afters to share. If things go as planned this week, I'll soon be sharing how the dining set I ordered looks in the dining room. One update I made recently for the Dollhouse dining room was adding silk-wrapped bulbs to the dining room chandelier. Here's how those style bulbs look in the dining room back in Georgia.

Awesome Way To Lift Furniture, Wish I’d Known About This Tool Long Before Now!
Oh my gosh, I just recently discovered and used the most amazing tool! Have you ever wanted to lift up a heavy piece of furniture, but didn't have anyone available to help? I have been wanting to remove these little knob-like feet from under the bun feet on my desk for a while now since my desk is a tiny bit higher than I would like it to be. These are smallish feet that I wanted to remove. I had a feeling that they were just screwed in, and they … [Continue Reading...]
Retiring & Replacing An Old Flag, Plus 2 Bits of Really Good News!
I love it when I'm out walking and pass by a home proudly displaying our country's flag. I've always wanted to fly the American flag on the front of my home in Georgia, but the only place that a holder could be mounted is on one of the columns, and the columns are round in shape. I've never found a holder that I thought would work properly on a round column, plus I had some issues a few years back with the paint on a few of the columns. It took interviewing several … [Continue Reading...]

The new additions are the rest of the soup tureens that had been stored inside the china cabinet in my dining room, and Noritake Colburn dinnerware and coordinating glassware that had been stored in an antique china cabinet in the "formal" living room back … [Continue Reading...]
Finally Tracked Them Down & They Are Just What I Needed For My Kitchen
A little over a year ago, my son and daughter-in-law completed a full renovation of the kitchen in their charming, 100-year-old home. The renovation turned out beautifully! If you would like to see the 1970s version of their kitchen before its renovation, plus all the changes that were made, you'll find that link at the end of this post. One of the updates that took place during their renovation was the removal of a wall and the addition of an eat-in bar. That area … [Continue Reading...]
Dollhouse Updates: You’ll Never Believe How Much I Brought Up This Time!
Welcome to the 818th Metamorphosis Monday! So much has happened since I shared my last post for Tablescape Thursday. As I'm sure you've heard, we had a big weather event across the southeast. I was scheduled to head to the Dollhouse last Thursday, but I stayed put until things looked better in my area mid-day Friday. I had one of the best drives up I've ever had with very little traffic and no major backups like I normally encounter. Everything was great until the … [Continue Reading...]
