Decorating Dilemma | Marie – Helene’s Great Room
Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve done a Decorating Dilemma post! I know my readers enjoy them, but they take quite a bit of time to put together and I just haven’t had an abundance of that lately. But, I received an e-mail from a reader asking for some help with her great […]
Christmas in the family room & a paper manger
I shared how our family room is looking these days a few posts ago and I thought I would share some of the details of my Christmas decorations. As I’ve said repeatedly, I really keep things pretty simple when it comes to Christmas decorating. It does still take a lot of time, but I have […]
A Cow Toile & “A Touch of Farmhouse Charm”
I haven’t had too much time to work on my painting and drawing the past couple of weeks and I really miss it! It really is the most exciting thing to me at the moment, mostly because it’s new and I’m still in the early stages of discovery and that’s always an exciting time. I […]

my new creative workspace

We have organized and cleaned out the studio here and there, but we haven’t picked through each bin and each drawer, keeping only the things that are really used. It was time. […]
decorating with gingerbread
When it’s rainy and glum, Kriste and I usually drag ourselves around the studio, giving ourselves pep-talks to get something accomplished. For some reason, it’s harder to be creative and productive and ready to tackle the world when the weather is blah. But, today was drizzly, cold, and gray, yet it was still, despite all odds, […]
Christmas Living Room 2016
I was trying to write this post last night and my mind was just mush! I found myself in a mid-sentence daze and I finally surrendered and went to bed. So, now that it’s a new day, here is my living room dressed for the holiday season. The living room is probably my favorite room […]
