Installing the Doorknob
When we installed our new front door this summer, we obviously needed a new doorknob as well. This was the part of the installation that I was dreading the most, because it has to be precise. So, I called for help. My dad is patient and doesn’t mind tinkering with things, so he was the […]
The Style Shift
As I’ve been working on my home over the past few months, a few realizations have hit me. The first one was that I have too much stuff and I’ve talked about purging, selling, donating, organizing and paring down in recent posts. I find myself grabbing more and more things to put on the sale […]
The cost of my living room (take two)
This afternoon I was standing in my living room and I remembered a post I wrote three years ago about how much I spent on my living room…floor to ceiling.

The new sofa has arrived!
Today was the day! For someone who usually hauls their furniture from a thrift store, yard sale, auction or antique shop, it’s a luxury to have a piece that’s finished delivered right to my home and placed in the very spot I want it. I’ve only experienced that one other time – with the bed […]
Organizing…
With the boys out of school, it’s been really difficult for me to get in my groove, but I have been able to pick away at some organizing projects. Organizing is the kind of project that can be done in pieces between building Lego’s (I’m the “piece finder”), Ukulele practice, “snack picnics” and playing Creationary. […]
