“Can I pull it off?”
Disclosure: This post is a sponsored collaboration with Magnolia Pearl. We received a great response from our last collaboration, so we decided to work together again! As always, all opinions and words are my own. I saw a pair of shoes in an e-mail from Magnolia Pearl a few weeks ago and right away, I […]
Tidying the Laundry Room & Bottling Cleaners
A few weeks ago, I was in a cleaning and organizing mood. I am the sort of person who’s in that kind of mood pretty regularly, but this was on another level. It started with getting all of my cleaning supplies sorted out and turned into reorganizing the laundry room shelves. I keep cleaners, sponges, […]
the first scratch in the hardwood floors
I think one of the reasons that I like old things is that they are already worn. They wear scratches, dents, dings, chips, cracks, and crazing, and any new damage that is done to them will likely go unnoticed. They are already imperfect and there is no pressure to keep them pristine. Well, newly installed […]
a new picture light & styling a buffet
A few of you noticed the new picture light hung above my Manet copy of Berte Morisot and I shared it on my Instagram stories last week. I actually bought the picture light for the cow painting above my fireplace (Eulalie), but running the cord wasn’t going to work. It’s a small shame that there […]

I have really missed my regular outings to Barnes & Noble, but I have been ordering newly released and used books online and have pulled out some of my favorite books to share from my stash. […]
the $20 side table & master bedroom progress
Last week, while the floors were being refinished, I went out to a few antique shops with my friend, Cheri. I’ll share some other things I purchased while I was out, but one of the things I found that was on my shopping list was a side table for $20! I wanted one to put […]
the process of living in a house while refinishing floors
Well, we’ve made it to the other side of having new wood floors installed in the living room while also refinishing the kitchen & eating area floors. And, we were living in the house through the entire process. In fact, every time we’ve either worked on floors ourselves or had them done, we’ve stayed in […]
