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.

Initially, I replaced the bulbs with the same brand that had worked well in other areas of my home, and the result was always terrible. No matter which brand I purchased, the result was … [Continue Reading...]
What I Bought For 50% Off In Williams Sonoma & Going Back For The Napkin Rings
Welcome to the 918th Tablescape Thursday! Yesterday, I stopped by Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn to check out their spring/summer offerings. This adorable bunny pitcher caught my eye.

Some Of My Favorites—A Few Of These Would Make Great Gifts For Mother’s Day
I have grown to love this time of year when nature can't make up its mind what season to be. lol The mornings are chilly with temps anywhere from the upper 40s to the mid 60s. Every morning is truly a surprise. Being a lover of warm weather, I eagerly watch the weather station in my office and kitchen, growing excited as I see the temps tick up. Sometimes I cheat and look at the Weather Bug app on my phone to see what the expected high for the day will be, but it's … [Continue Reading...]

An Update For The Cabinets In The Basement Work Room
I've been a whirlwind of activity this spring since arriving back in Georgia. It must be the beautiful weather and warmer temps that have me in this crazy "nesting" mode.

The … [Continue Reading...]
