Beautiful, Whimsical Wallpaper For My Guest Bath & Mini-Mudroom
Welcome to the 846th Metamorphosis Monday! Thanks for all your awesome input yesterday regarding the baskets for the filing cabinet console I recently added to my office. I had to agree with those who left comments saying that neither the 3-basket or the 4-basket option worked well since the 4-basket looked crowded and the 3-basket option looked awkward. I have removed all the baskets for now, so it's back to being completely open. I plan to bring up more books on … [Continue Reading...]
Three Baskets, Or Four, For The Lateral File Cabinet?
I was going to save this update for Metamorphosis Monday, but I'd love your opinion now since I need to make a decision, then return something that I'll be sharing in this post. You may remember that I recently ordered a lateral file cabinet for the office. It all started with me wanting something on which I could place a lamp. That's often the crazy way I decorate: Want lamp lighting in one area of a room = Need something to set said lamp on. lol My … [Continue Reading...]

Is This A Redbud Tree & What I’m Loving In The Talbots Sale That Ends Today
The weather can't make up its mind here, but the flowering trees and the flowers that are coming up in my garden know that spring is here. I can't wait until it gets warm and stays warm! Talbots is tempting me with a really good sale right now that's 40% off any one item and 30% off everything else. I love the colors in this striped top—so fresh and pretty for spring. Vertical stripes can be so flattering/slimming, too. Here's a closer view of the soft … [Continue Reading...]
A Planned Addition For My Office & I Need Help Identifying This Flower
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 plantation shutters were installed in this … [Continue Reading...]
My March Favorites: A Lot Of Variety, Including One That Will Probably Surprise You!
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 what my checked bag weighed: 35 pounds. We had a long, … [Continue Reading...]
Saying Goodbye To Winter, With The Sweetest Hint Of Spring
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 me. In Georgia, our tornadoes are often accompanied by a … [Continue Reading...]
Ordering Plantation Shutters For The Living Room, Dining Room, Bath & Butler’s Pantry
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 company in the area that made their shutters the way I … [Continue Reading...]
I Bellied Up To An Oxygen Bar In Breckenridge—Did It Help?
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 walked up 3-4 steps to go inside one of the shops in the … [Continue Reading...]
Dining In Breckenridge, Colorado, So Many Wonderful Restaurants!
Welcome to the 861st Tablescape Thursday! For this week's Tablescape Thursday, I thought I'd share some of the meals we've had while staying here. Our ski-in apartment/suite has a full kitchen with a refrigerator that makes ice faster than you can say, Breckenridge! lol I've never seen a refrigerator make so much ice in a single day! During this trip, we've been having breakfast in our suite. Lunch is occasionally leftovers from feasts the night before, but not … [Continue Reading...]
