The Cost of My Living Room
I’m sure some wallets are empty and some credit cards are smoking in the wake of Christmas, so I am going to share with you how I put together a thrifty, yet elegant living room. I’ve always loved the finer things. I don’t like things that look cheap. I also have never been super rich (monetarily […]
Merry Christmas
A Christmas Tree and a Song…
It’s two days before Christmas and I finally put up my “pretty tree.” It’s the first live tree I’ve had since I was six and I am sold on buying live trees. It is so beautiful. My artificial one is going to the thrift store the day after Christmas. And I’m crazy about the new tree skirt […]

Trumeau Mirror Transformation
Wood lovers…look away. I found this trumeau mirror at a yard sale in September and immediately fell in love with the shape. I wasn’t too in love with the 1980’s speckled finish, though.
