My in-laws bought the cottage we live in now about 5 years ago, in 2006. When I first saw it (before the remodel), I thought to myself: “Wow, I’m not sure THIS can be tuned into something livable!” Rumor has it, the cottage was a place where dying cats would come for their last resting […]
Part of my morning routine this summer includes: snoozing, shutting off my alarm, and getting on Pinterest from my phone (and staying there until hubby comes and kicks me out of bed). Today I made an interesting observation. I was looking through my Bedroom Love board and noticed that almost all of my bedroom inspiration […]
This is a story of a long journey of one ugly duckling lamp. The Lamp began it’s existence what looks like forever ago. Quite possibly in times of your grandma’s youth. Its shade had, in addition to a burnt spot on the soul inside, questionable leaf-y cut-outs on the face outside. The lamp, once youthful […]
Operation “Organization” is proving to be more and more fruitful. I not only declutter the house, but also find old things to reuse for something new. First it was a grandma dress turned crop top. Then I found this shirt hubby didn’t want any more. I loved the color of this shirt and thought it […]
Our huge, comfy, delicious, and absolutely snugly cloud of a bed, aka favorite place on Earth, has never had a headboard. Poor little thing! When the bed was next to the wall the absence of a headboard was like a sore in my eyes. It’s been a bit better since we moved it to the […]
It’s almost summer and I want to freshen up our bed/bedroom. I didn’t want to buy anything new, just use what I had available. It’s not much, basically a bunch of pillow mixes:) I thought I’d show you a few options and see what you think. (I do LOVE your input and suggestions.) To give […]
Here I shared my plans to redecorate our spare bedroom on a budget. I also mentioned that it’s going to be a slow process. So far, I’ve been true to my words:) I bought the bedding (above) and needing to buy a queen-size blanket (somehow all our blankets are king…). I also purchased bright yellow […]
I’m currently working on 2 different projects around the house – spare bedroom redeco and front door coverage. Needless to say, it’s a little much, especially considering lack of time and organization. And also desire to do it all at the same time. First of all, the guest bedroom looks like there has been a […]
I’m taking baby steps toward my spare bedroom redeco. I like the way white, lime green, yellow and black colors look together on this moodboard. I thought I’d start with something cheap and small, like redoing a pretty ugly lamp that I inherited from an old neighbor. I cut up an old black skirt […]
I am dying to redecorate our spare bedroom. It has always been on the back burner, since there are always more important things to work on. We keep the door to this room closed and only open it when we have guests. And even then we always have to apologize for the fact that the […]
