Touring Through Blogland

My super awesome bloggy friend Melissa from A Prudent Life invited me to take a trip down the rabbit hole with her, so I said heck yeah. *Grin* Don’t worry it isn’t anything weird or inappropriate (although I bet you were wondering why I would squeal my “yes” so quickly). She tagged me in […]
Etsy Love – Frosting Home Decor
I’m very particular when it comes to drapes. All too often I’ve purchased a pair of drapes, tried them out in my home, and promptly returned them. I do this dance for the next month or two before “settling” for some drapes that ‘sort of’ work in the space. What if you could have custom […]
Secrets To Painting Free Hand
I’m a lazy painter, but I’m pretty good so I can afford to be lazy! I don’t always use a drop cloth to protect the floors, I rarely wear paint clothes, and I never bother with painters tape. Of course, this comes from years of trial & error, bad tape experiences, and practice. Today I’ll […]

A Dream House Tour
Like most of you, I’m a sucker for an inspirational home tour.
