Sorry to anyone who “showed up” and found their hostess wasn’t there. We’ll pick it up again next week. I found out last week […]
Let There Be Light

More Lucketts/More Dining Room
Well, I am in sunny (and unbearably hot and humid) Orlando, Florida to visit my parents with my two boys. I made sure to snap a lot of photos of my house and some projects before I left, so I would have plenty to share with you this week. First of all, a quick note. […]
