Before May gets too far gone, I'm sharing all my favorites from the month of April. As usual, there's quite the variety here. Last month, I went on a search for a cell phone holder that would fit on the handlebars of my Peloton bike.

May 6, 2024 by 24 Comments
Welcome to the 797th Metamorphosis Monday! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! I've been working on a few bathroom projects this weekend. One of the tasks I worked on involved the shelves in the closets of both upstairs baths.

There are … [Read more...]

The Upstairs Living Room Window Seat Just Got A Much Needed Update
April 30, 2024 by 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 … [Read more...]

This has been a busy, crazy week. I had a quick trip to visit family in Ohio, and I just returned home on Tuesday.

I had read so many good things about it online, so I was excited to experience it in person. The new Atlanta lounge … [Read more...]
