How Do I Like My New LG InstaView, Door-in Door, Counter-Depth Refrigerator
Welcome to the 810th Metamorphosis Monday! How was your weekend? I hope it was a great one! We ended up spending all day Saturday at a huge, 364-acre amusement/water park called King's Island. We arrived a few minutes after 9:00 am and didn't leave for 12 hours! What an experience! We hit the ground running as soon as we entered the park, making our first ride the Diamondback roller coaster, which is considered a "Thrill Level 5" on their Thrill Chart. That's the … [Continue Reading...]
Beautiful, Vintage, Hazel Atlas Pink Crinoline, A Dramatic Table Setting in Pink & Black
Welcome to the 827th Tablescape Thursday! Recently, I received an email from Kathryn, a lovely BNOTP reader who enjoys creating pretty table settings for the guests who frequent her beautiful Bed and Breakfast. Kathryn said, "We own a bed and breakfast in Garden City, KS and I love doing tablescapes." Kathryn went on to say that she often posts her tablescapes at her Sunnyland Bed & Breakfast Facebook page, as well. Oh my gosh, such a beautiful … [Continue Reading...]
Larger Rug For The Office, Dented Refrigerators, & A Great Dish Soap Dispensing Brush
So, how's the 9' x 12' rug look here in the office? It arrived yesterday, a day earlier than projected, and my oldest grandson helped me get it into the room. It arrived folded in a big, rectangular package. We were a team cartwheeling it up the 7 stairs to the office, moving it into place, and getting it up underneath the desk. In the photo below, you can see how the 8 x 10 rug looked that I shared a few days ago. I liked the way several folks described it as not … [Continue Reading...]
So Many Kitchen Updates, Plus, My New Speed Queen Washer & Dryer Are Here!
Since moving into the Dollhouse, I've been gradually updating a lot of the things that I need and use every single day. Recently, I shared the repairs and updates I made to this super wide drawer here in the kitchen. I am still crazy in love with the expandable flatware/organizer that I found for it. It drastically improved the functionality of this drawer. (Expandable organizer can be found here: Expandable Flatware Holder and Organizer.) While the … [Continue Reading...]
Damaged Bookcases, Triple Monitors, Drawer Organizer, Best Shampoo, Shutters Ordered & More!
Welcome to the 809th Metamorphosis Monday! Hope you had a fun, relaxing weekend! I was busy as usual working on projects in the Dollhouse. On Saturday, I shared the updated office with a new rug and plans I had to add bookcase cabinets behind my desk here in the office. Update: I've had some questions about the rug, it's available in several sizes/colors here: All-Wool Rug. This was the cabinet that I ordered. Unfortunately, I don't … [Continue Reading...]
Beautiful Updates For The Dollhouse Office & The Desk Is Finally Here!
Happy Friday! Hope your week has been a great one! I've gotten a tremendous amount accomplished here in the Dollhouse this week, including in my office. I will be adding some more items this weekend, so will share even more updates for Metamorphosis Monday, but I thought it would be fun to share where things are as of right now. If you've been following along the last couple of months, you'll probably remember that I ordered this desk for the new office that I'm … [Continue Reading...]
Dollhouse Dining Room Updates & Mail Served On A Silver Platter ;)
Welcome to the 826th Tablescape Thursday! I finally figured out why everything is so hectic when I'm here at the Dollhouse. It usually goes like this: Today, I had two appointments scheduled. Just two. I had a shutter company representative stopping by at 8:30 to take an order for some plantation shutters, and later this afternoon I have a meeting/call with a developer to look into a new blog design. That was it—not too crazy, right? Last night, a company I … [Continue Reading...]
A Look at My New Expandable Flatware Organizer, Great For Wide Kitchen Drawers
A few days ago, I shared about this wide drawer that is located in the kitchen of the dollhouse, and how I had found it with the center bottom of the drawer busted downward, held that way due to a large bolt that had somehow become wedged between the back wall of the drawer and its bottom. I discovered it was that way the first time I placed something in that drawer and immediately heard the item fall out into the cabinet below. After pulling out the bolt and a … [Continue Reading...]
So Many Updates For The Dollhouse, & More To Come!
Welcome to the 808th Metamorphosis Monday! Whenever I'm here at the Dollhouse, I always feel a lot of pressure to get stuff done, and get it done right now! That's because my time is always limited since I have projects going on back in Georgia, too. The minute I pull into the driveway, I'm on the go. I usually have appointments set up with repairmen or tradesmen starting the very next day, so there's no time to rest. I've been here a little over a week, and … [Continue Reading...]
I Didn’t Think Elena Could Top Her Safari Tablescape, But She Did!
Welcome to the 825th Tablescape Thursday! Happy Thursday from the Dollhouse. Yesterday, I made the long 8-9 hour drive back and it's been non-stop since I arrived. I had my SUV packed to the gills with boxes of dishes and stemware, my older Air Fryer, a folding table, a summer firescreen, tons of books, DVDs, Disney movies that my son enjoyed when he was growing up, and a bunch of sweaters to store away in the recently-discovered (by me) cedar chest. I got … [Continue Reading...]
