When I posted this pic of my front door, I received several comments and e-mails asking where I bought the white basket and the daisy flowers.The basket came from a little antique shop on the Marietta Square in Marietta, Georgia, called Willow Antiques, Too. When there is another decoration or wreath on the front door, like now...I move the basket of daisies to one of the doors off of my screened-in … [Read more...]

Welcome to the 10th Metamorphosis Monday! Ok, hold on to your seats. We're going for another ride this week in my time machine...back once more to the year 1991.

I paused the tape, took some pics and this week I'm sharing a "before" glimpse of the Entry to my … [Read more...]

If you're like me, you rarely iron these days. I tend to iron a lot more in the spring/summer months since that's when I'm wearing a lot of cotton and linen clothing. It's perfect for those hot, balmy days and evenings here in the south. When it comes to ironing my tablecloths and napkins, I have a little secret I thought I'd share with you today. Shhhh, don't tell anyone, but I love to use scented linen … [Read more...]

A Princess and the Pea Master Bedroom

Welcome to the 9th Metamorphosis Monday! When I first entered the foyer of this home, 18 years ago, it was pretty obvious why it had been on the market for over a year. The carpet throughout was a burnt orange color and the interior had not been painted in 8 years. On our second walk through, we videotaped many of the rooms so we could remember it as we shopped for a new house. Please bear … [Read more...]
