Hanging Plates on the Wall
Many of you have noticed the plates hanging on my walls throughout my home. If you haven’t noticed, plates, platters and lids are pretty much my go-to wall art. It all started because I could find plates at yard sales and thrift stores…sometimes for as low as 10 cents a piece. I ended up with […]
my home – the paint colors
I have recently received a lot of e-mails and comments asking for the name of the paint colors I use in my home, so I thought I would share them in a post. (I’ve also been asked how I hang my plates, so that post is coming up.) Do you remember the era when everyone […]

the Living Room vs. the Family Room
There’s a lot I want to say. A lot of thank you’s for all of your words, prayers, stories, information and encouragement. Yesterday was rough, but today was much better. I cleaned the house and went to the grocery store and did things that were routine and made me feel a bit more in control […]
