A Cozy Reading Corner For A Cottage Home Office
Welcome to 823rd Metamorphosis Monday! A few days ago I shared a chair I had added to the office. In that post I asked how you liked it, and the reviews were mixed. If I counted, I think more of you liked it than didn't, or perhaps the ones who didn't were just being polite. lol I was a little surprised that a few folks didn't think it worked well with the rug. I love mixing prints as you can see by a glimpse into my living room back … [Continue Reading...]
Beautiful Albino Squirrel, Brilliant Bag Storage & 1st Attempt At Making A Tarte Soleil
A week or so ago I visited the Wright Memorial Library to get a library card. There's just something about obtaining a library card from your local library that makes you feel more like a real resident. As I was leaving the library, I saw this little guy running about under the trees. He is so pretty! I wondered how rare all-white squirrels are and did a quick search. Turns out they are pretty rare with just a 1 in 100,000 chance of a female gray squirrel giving … [Continue Reading...]

Now that's a combination you don't normally see. If I read correctly, there have been two Beetlejuice movies, the original from 1988 and a … [Continue Reading...]
Creating A Cozy Seating Area For The Office, How Do You Like The Chair(s) I Chose?
The last time we checked out the office was a few weeks ago when the plantation shutters were added to this room. Around that same time, or maybe it was a few days after, I stumbled across a chair I really liked while shopping for something else on the Home Depot website. I didn't realize HD had branched out into offering furniture on their site. It reminds me of the days when the Home Depot Expos were around. I miss that store. The chair took about … [Continue Reading...]
Furnishing The Sunporch & Some Additional Updates I’d Like To Make
Welcome to 822nd Metamorphosis Monday! A few weeks ago I rented a U-haul to bring up the table and six chairs I had purchased for my cottage home in Ohio, aka, the Dollhouse. I still need to create a post to share more about that little adventure! The table was the very first thing to go on. It was still in the box that it had arrived in and was placed flat against the front wall of the truck. Since I was spending $$$ to rent a … [Continue Reading...]
