Big Porch Update: New Wicker-Style Ceiling Fans For The Screened Porch
Welcome to the 902nd Metamorphosis Monday! Happy Monday! A few weeks back, I purchased two new outdoor-rated ceiling fans for the screened porch.

The fans had also darkened with age, so their general appearance wasn't the best.

Best Light Bulbs For A Cozy Paneled Living Room + Added Another Ring Floodlight
Welcome to the 901st Metamorphosis Monday party! Happy New Week! I hope you had a great weekend! I have a couple of updates to share, including a problem for which I finally found a solution. I've been searching for light bulbs for the lamps on either side of the sofa for months.

No matter which brand I purchased, the result was … [Continue Reading...]
