Welcome to the 845th Metamorphosis Monday! Happy Monday! I hope you had an awesome weekend! I have a few Before/Afters to share that are currently in the works. In this older photo of my office, taken before I added the table between the chairs and moved the floor lamp to the sunroom, notice the blank spot on the left wall underneath the windows. Here's another view of that area the day the … [Read more...]
My March Favorites: A Lot Of Variety, Including One That Will Probably Surprise You!
April 4, 2025 by 10 Comments
Last month was a busy month that involved a lot of traveling. I returned to Ohio, only to board a plane a few days later for a week-long trip to Breckenridge, Colorado, with family. Some of the purchases I made last month (and love) were connected to travel, but not all of them. One item that I purchased and was thankful to have was this Luggage Scale. I knew before I left the house exactly … [Read more...]
Saying Goodbye To Winter, With The Sweetest Hint Of Spring
April 3, 2025 by 26 Comments
Welcome to the 862nd Tablescape Thursday! We had such a storm last night! The sirens were going off as my son was texting me, warning me there were tornado warnings out and saying I should head to the basement. Living in the south my whole life, I've been through plenty of tornado warnings and watches over the years, so I'm pretty good at knowing when it's basement time, but that was so sweet of him to warn … [Read more...]

April 2, 2025 by 22 Comments
When I first purchased the Dollhouse, the moment I stepped through the front door, I began dreaming of adding plantation shutters to all the windows throughout the home. I've had shutters in the Georgia house for 30+ years and love them as much today as the day they were installed. After a lot of phone calls, online research and getting several estimates, I could only find one … [Read more...]
I Bellied Up To An Oxygen Bar In Breckenridge—Did It Help?
March 31, 2025 by 28 Comments
Welcome to the 844th Metamorphosis Monday! During the time my son was growing up, we visited Breckenridge, Colorado, to ski a total of three times. During each visit, we would have a little trouble breathing the first two to three days. It was always very minor, not enough to stop us from any of the activities we had planned. I distinctly remember that the only time I noticed the altitude change was when I … [Read more...]

Today we walked the short 10-minute stroll into town to have lunch and do a bit of shopping in the beautiful historic area of Breckenridge. I didn't expect to find so many cute things!

The inside … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 843rd Metamorphosis Monday! Getting up at 3 AM for an early morning flight isn't much fun, but seeing this sunrise through the plane window helped make up for it. Our room in Breckenridge was such a wonderful surprise. This is my 4th time visiting Breckenridge and my first time staying in a room with a balcony view of one of the slopes. It only takes a minute to reach the door … [Read more...]

Happy Friday! I'm back at the Dollhouse, having driven up on Wednesday. Yesterday was the first official day of spring! Yay! It's been beautiful here, a little chilly, but otherwise, really nice. I have a few new additions to the Dollhouse kitchen to share, but first I wanted to share a jacket I just purchased at L.L. Bean. Unfortunately, it's not on sale, yet. Based on the reviews, I think it's been a … [Read more...]
