Ikea Rescue Remodel

A couple of months ago, I shared about a great contest, the Ikea Rescue Remodel. Ikea is partnering with The Family Handyman to give a $25,000 kitchen renovation to a deserving firehouse.  The nominees are in and now it’s time to vote!

The nominated firehouses are Redondo Beach Fire Station #1, Palos Fire Protection District #1, Sheridan Fire District, Yonkers Engine Co. 306 and FDNY Squad 61.  Please take a minute to visit here and vote!

Disclaimer: I have been paid to post about this event, but I think it’s an excellent contest and a small way we can say thanks to the men and women who serve our communities.  All opinions are my own.

September 4, 2026

I was meandering through Instagram one day and came across An Acre of Land.  I was immediately drawn to the photography, the styling, and the layers of feminine, generously gathered skirts.  I pressed the follow button.  For months, maybe even years, I would admire the clothes, which are just my
