New Lamp For The Porch & Big Changes For The Porch Fans! Psst: I Like These Better!
Welcome to the 896th Metamorphosis Monday! On Saturday, I shared a photo of this outdoor lamp that I had ordered. This lamp originally sold for $133 at Home Depot. I lucked out and discovered it available on eBay for around half that price. The timing was perfect since the vinyl, wicker-style lamp I'd had in this spot for many years was beginning to crumble and fall apart whenever it was touched. Agatha is happy to demonstrate the … [Continue Reading...]

Breaking In The New Table With Beautiful Melina by Villeroy & Boch
Welcome to the 913th Tablescape Thursday! The pollen is raging here in full force. I have all the furniture on the porch covered with sheets and towels. It's a yellow mess out there! I think I'll get out there today and try to blow off some of the pollen off the porch before it gets any thicker. So we are in the breakfast room for this week's Tablescape Thursday. Wish I had noticed that wonky shade before I took this photo. I hadn't placed the … [Continue Reading...]
A Significant Porch Update, Plus This Dress Has Almost Sold Out
Before we get into today's post, I have to share this beautiful dress that I saw while shopping at the Talbots website today. I saw it a few days ago, but didn't get the opportunity to share it, and now it's almost sold out. Since it's been such a great seller, I bet they will get more in. You can see the sizes that are left here: Blue Eyelet shift Dress. Do you have a porch with a ceiling fan? My screened porch has two that are now 16 years old. … [Continue Reading...]
A New Dining Set For The Breakfast Room, French Market Style
Welcome to the 895th Metamorphosis Monday! Hope your weekend was a great one and you had time to play and relax! I've been catching up on things around the house. This is the time of year when I open the doors to the screened porch in the early morning to let the cool night air in, then close them as the day starts to heat up, although some days I've been able to leave them open all day. Pollen season has begun, so I'm following the advice of … [Continue Reading...]
My February Favorites + Some Extras That You’ve Been Asking About
I'm sharing a mix of new and old in this February Favorites post. I have both doors open to the screened porch since it's in the 80s today, and my sinuses are going nuts with the pollen. So I'll keep this post short on words since my head is feeling quite fuzzy. I've often been asked about the Calista hair tool that I LOVE and have been using for so many years. I have it in two barrel sizes since sometimes my hair is a few inches above my shoulders, and sometimes … [Continue Reading...]
An Accidental St. Patrick’s Day Table Setting In Celebration of Spring
Welcome to the 912th Tablescape Thursday! I have missed setting a table and could not wait to create one for this week's Tablescape Thursday! After my return home to Georgia on Saturday, I made a quick trip to Publix the next day to restock the pantry. While there, I saw the cutest St. Patrick's Day cake and thought it would be perfect in the center of St. Patty's Day table. Once I got home, I realized St. Patrick's would already be past by this Thursday. Ummm. … [Continue Reading...]
Large Pet Travel Carrier For Cats Or Small Dogs
I was a bit apprehensive whenever I thought about the prospect of traveling with Beatrice and Agatha for 8-9 hours in a car. We were supposed to leave on Friday for our trip to Georgia, but I didn't sleep well the night before, and I awoke super tired. Plus, the wind was insane that day, and the idea of fighting that wind for hours convinced me to wait a day. On Saturday, I placed the kitties in the travel carrier I've been using for vet visits. They have grown a … [Continue Reading...]
Exploring Kittens & I Can’t Get Enough Of This Book Series
Welcome to the 894th Metamorphosis Monday! Oh my gosh, it's so good to be back in Georgia! I missed the daffodil blooms; they are completely done, not even a single flower is left. Even the Redbuds are finished. I did see some Redbuds blooming en route home, along with what appeared to be Bradford Pears that were already almost fully leafed out. The kittens have adjusted beautifully to their new digs! I thought they would, since they love exploring new places in … [Continue Reading...]
New Furnture For the Breakfast Room In Georgia
Back when I first moved into the Dollhouse almost two years ago, I was seriously thinking of ordering this table from Rooms To Go. It felt just right for a cottage-style home, and I thought it would be perfect for the dining room. I also loved that I could someday have the back and seats reupholstered in a beautiful fabric to coordinate with whatever drapes/curtains I would eventually add to that space. I really like how this table has worked out in … [Continue Reading...]
