A Kitchen Update, A Cozy Chair For My Office, Winter Needs & The Sale Ends Today
A few days ago I shared a cozy update here in the kitchen—an adorable gingham-shade lamp I added to the counter for some cozy, evening lighting. (I closed the shutters for this photo to partially simulate nighttime in the kitchen.) In the comments of that previous post, Elena mentioned that she had a couple of lamps in her kitchen, too. That comment caught my eye because I had been thinking of adding a second lamp at the other end of the counter. When I walk into … [Continue Reading...]
How To Change The Direction The Door Opens On A Speed Queen Dryer
Welcome to the 821st Metamorphosis Monday! The laundry room in this 86-year-old house I purchased at the very end of May, is located down in the basement. Over the years as I've checked out homes that were listed for sale in this area, the laundry room was pretty much always in the basement, usually in an unfinished part of the basement. I have to wonder what the original homeowners of the homes in this historic neighborhood would think if they could see the laundry … [Continue Reading...]
2 New Additions For The Butler’s Pantry & 1 For The Kitchen
One of my favorite rooms in the Dollhouse is the Butler's Pantry. A few weeks back I shared in a post that I was thinking about purchasing a toaster oven since the oven that's here in the Dollhouse kitchen takes absolutely forever to pre-heat. I'm used to my double oven back in Georgia which heats up super fast. I ended up buying the toaster oven (that's also an air fryer) I mentioned in that previous post since it has such great reviews. (Toaster Oven/Air Fryer) … [Continue Reading...]
The First Ever Tablescape In The Dollhouse Dining Room
Welcome to the 838th Tablescape Thursday! I can't believe this day has come! I actually have a table on which I can set a table setting right here in the Dollhouse! Yaaaay! About time, right? Let-me-tell-ya, it was a process and a half getting it here since Rooms to Go, from whom the table was purchased, doesn't deliver to the state of Ohio. After searching high and low for several months, this table from their French Market line, was the only table that I liked and … [Continue Reading...]
It Has Turned Cold & I’m Craving A Warm, Cozy, Snuggle-Worthy Wardrobe
It has turned very cold here in Ohio. The lows have been in the 30s at night. It's been almost that cold in northern Georgia, too. Though I don't like cold weather, I do like an excuse to wear warm, cozy sweaters. I've always had a soft spot for snowflake sweaters! This is one of the prettiest ones I've seen, love the design! It's currently on sale 30% off here: Snowflake Sweater. One of my other favorite winter sweater styles is Fair Isle. This one … [Continue Reading...]
A “Smelly” Before and After, How I Store My Perfume Collection
A few weeks back I shared a little update I wanted to make in this upstairs bath. Notice the cabinet on the wall to the left in this photo from when the home was listed for sale a couple of years ago. Right after I first moved in and began exploring various rooms, as soon as I opened this cabinet in the hall bath that is located just outside the master bedroom, I thought how perfect it would be for holding perfume since the shelves are quite … [Continue Reading...]
The Plantation Shutters Are Finally Here! Do They Look The Way You Expected?
Welcome to the 820th Metamorphosis Monday! Oh my gosh, I have so much I want to tell you about the trip up to Ohio but I will save that for a future post because it was quite the adventure. Ha! Everything went really well until I hit the Cincinnati area. They had completely shut down all of I-75 North for the weekend to do road work. When I first left early that morning, Waze said something implying I-75 in Cincinnati was shut down, but I thought that meant there … [Continue Reading...]
French Market Dining Set Is Here & Finally Found Beautiful Lamps For The Bedroom
Yesterday was delivery day for the French Market Dining Set. This dining set comes with four chairs but I purchased two additional chairs since the table seats six without its leaf, and eight with. When the delivery guys arrived, the two extra chairs I had purchased were missing. When they first stepped off the truck, they were carrying two bags that had skinny brown legs sticking out of them. I stopped them and told them that wasn't my order. I … [Continue Reading...]
The Last Of The Sunflowers
Welcome to the 837th Tablescape Thursday! Today is delivery day. As I type this, the table and chairs I have purchased for the Dollhouse dining room are somewhere out there rolling around on a delivery truck. I'm the 4th stop of the day, so it should be arriving sometime today between 11-3:00 pm. I paid extra for Rooms To Go's premium delivery plan which includes unpacking and setting up the table/chairs in the room of your choice. I won't be asking them to put … [Continue Reading...]
I Couldn’t Resist Since It’s Part Of The Prime Day Deals!
I've been going through some of the Prime Day Deals today and found some that I think were worth noting. Dawn Platinum Wash is on sale 40% off, so it's a great time to stock up. I'm ordering some for the Dollhouse, I already use it here in Georgia. You'll find the sale here: Dawn Platinum Wash. Thanks so much for all your great air fryer/toaster oven combo suggestions on THIS post. The one I was eyeing that had really good reviews is … [Continue Reading...]
