Two Very Different Home Offices In Two Very Different Homes
Thanks so much for all your great suggestions for outdoor patio/deck furniture brands to consider for my round patio at the Dollhouse! I have a lot of homework to do, checking out all your suggestions. I had no idea there were so many great options! Since returning home to Georgia, I've been thinking about how very different the office in the Dollhouse is from the one here. In this older photo, before I upgraded my office chair and added a small refrigerator in … [Continue Reading...]

Here's another view of the patio looking back toward the house. Before I purchase patio furniture, I'd like to have the driveway … [Continue Reading...]

My May Favorites, So Many Great Ones To Share This Month!
Last month, I made some awesome finds that I have really been enjoying. In the post I shared recently about the guest bath, I forgot to mention one change I made in that room. When I first moved into the Dollhouse, I had to come up with a sneaky way to store TP in this room since the sink is a pedestal sink. I ended up purchasing the cute, woven basket that's visible in the picture below. It is designed to hold three rolls of TP and fits perfectly on the back of the … [Continue Reading...]

New Lighting For Small Mudroom & Basement Stairs, Plus, A Wonderful Surprise!
Happy Weekend! I have a few Dollhouse updates to share, updates that I've been hoping to have done ever since moving into the Dollhouse. In this photo from when the home was listed for sale several years back, we see the back hallway that leads both out to the garage and around the corner to the basement. The light in that small entry/mini mudroom has been on my radar ever since moving in. I don't think it was an original light to this 1938 home … [Continue Reading...]
