Happy Happy, Merry Merry, Lovecats! How is your December treating you? I hope in between all the busyness you are finding some time to relax and give back to yourself a little bit, even though I know the holidays are a trying time for many. I find myself alone with my dogs, mostly, working and …
Welcome to my new bedroom. . . Get cozy for a minute while I explain what you’re seeing 😆 Aside from the gold pendant ceiling fan mounted to the ceiling YES IT’S A TINY CEILING FAN DISGUISED AS A RETRO PENDANT AND I LOVE IT because I do not love ceiling fans, nothing in this …
Last year around this very time I was packing up my stuff, yet again, and moving out of the townhouse on the water in Lake Arrowhead and into my parents house, also in Lake Arrowhead, which I have referred to as Le Dome because well, for obvious reasons, it is a geodesic dome. There were …
One of my favorite things about my new house is this old bathroom… I JUST LOVE IT 🖤 💛 It’s black and white with a yellow tile counter and an arch over the tub/shower and it reminds me of all the bathrooms in all the old houses I grew up in as well as family …
NOTE: These are the original photos from the MLS listing just to give you an idea of the look and layout of the house before I moved in (which was about four weeks ago). Happy Monday Lovecats! I honestly can’t believe I’m actually here… in a new house, in a new town, in a completely …
Since my current and most immediate goal in life right now is to leave Lake Arrowhead, move off the mountain entirely and into a different house in the flatlands among the palm trees 😊, I thought I better get busy sharing the house I’m living in now before it’s too late! When I moved into …
Now that I am currently in the process of trying to imagine -or re-imagine– a new life and future for myself, moving from my current location to a new location is high on my list on jumpstarting that process. I still have some mixed feelings about leaving Lake Arrowhead, like the community and my friends …
As much as I love nature and being surrounded by trees and gorgeous greenery OUTSIDE, I’ve never really been an in-house plant person (although I would DIE for an in-house atrium!) Aside from my kitchen window orchids (a mainstay in all my houses) and a possible much larger and usually tropical living room tree of …
Happy February Lovecats! I’m not sure why January felt like it lasted an entire year, but it’s over now and soon it will be summer and we’ll all be saying I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S HALLOWEEN ALREADY and then it’s NYE and BOOM! The year is over. How does it even work anymore? I don’t know… …
I was hesitant about decorating for Christmas this year for the same reason I didn’t decorate last year. I just moved into a new house in the beginng of November which means that in the last week or so I finally finished unpacking and decorating (for normal daily living) and honestly was feeling a little …
I took this year for me, to get back to me. I took this year to find myself, to create myself. I took this year to figure out what was next. Although I had the means to do so, it was a HUGE risk in many ways, and I took it anyway. A year later, …
I come from a long line of savers, which mostly has equated to frantic, jump-inducing yelps on holidays like DON’T RIP THE WRAPPING PAPER, WE CAN SAVE IT and DON’T THROW THAT AWAY, WE CAN USE IT AGAIN and SQUEEZE OUT THE SPONGE!… okay, the last one happened to be a running joke in my …
Welcome to my little kitchen! I’d give you a tour, but this is pretty much it! However, I dressed up to match so I may as well go into detail about every little thing because well, that’s what bloggers do, right? Well that’s what I’m going to do, with links to what you see, in …
I’ve had some pretty amazing closets in the past and have turned my last two offices into a closet/dressing room/home office combination because it just made sense for my work, but this is the first time I’ve had an entire room dedicated to my wardrobe and I have to say, I am very excited about …
Moving into the townhouse meant a lot of downsizing, which I am not so good at. I still have so much stuff from my first house in storage and well, you get the point. I have a lot of stuff and this is the year it’s either staying or it’s going. First to go was …
