It's one of my favorite pieces to pull out and use this time of year. Every table needs a starting point, some kind of inspiration. This bunny server was my inspiration for this week's table setting.

April 30, 2024 19 Comments
A few days ago, I made a small update/repair here in the upstairs living room, aka the bonus room or FROG. It turned out so well, I thought I'd share it in case you find it helpful. When I moved into this house so many years ago, the upstairs living room already had window seats under all the windows. There's storage built in under each of the window seats. The two dormer window seats have little doors in front that open for … [Continue Reading...]

Sharing A Much-Needed Favorite, Porch Update, & How Do I Stop Squirrels From Eating My Roses
April 27, 2024 17 Comments
Still working on getting the porch wiped down after its long winter's nap, but thought I'd pop in and share how the new swing chain covers look on the swing. I kinda wished I had washed them first since the fabric is a bit stiff which makes it stick out a little awkwardly in a few spots, but overall, I really like them! They were a gazillion times easier to put on since they close with Velcro as opposed to my old swing covers that closed with a … [Continue Reading...]

Welcome to the 795th Metamorphosis Monday! Many years ago, I shared this photo in a post called, My Dream Home.

This was the first scarf I purchased. I couldn't resist all the cute animals featured on this scarf including birds, horses, deer and bears. It arrived, and I love it!
