Phrena Pendant Lamp from the MOMA Store It came as a plug-in pendant lamp but it was easy enough for my bro to snip it and hardwire it right into where the old lamp was. I spent under $10 for the simple white cover. Like a halloween pumpkin decoration, you open it and …
Project: Brick & Blue Bathroom
When we first walked through this house the one and only negative, in my opinion, was the main bathroom which also serves as the master bathroom. At first glance, the brick flooring and brick countertop was a bit much …then add a blue tub and a blue stall shower surrounded by more brick with old …
Outdoor Living Space Before & AfterProject: Backyard Garden Planter
When we moved into this house I noticed a pile of extra bricks placed neatly in a corner of our garage and immediately had the idea to use them to replace the ugly plastic border around the backyard garden planter. And every single time I look out the windows into the backyard I think about …
Project: Front Yard Renovation
When we moved into our new house in January, the entire front yard surrounding the lovely brick patio was covered in rocks …and not nearly enough rocks to hide the black plastic underneath. I hated it. When we signed our lease they agreed to let me plant grass. I said we wouldn’t take the place …

And on a daily basis, a safe place to toss your keys, phones, wallets, sunglasses, and of course, biodegradable doggie …

The last time I went to the carpet remnant warehouse, I found a really great 9′ x 7′ thick shag piece for our master bedroom for $40 {and remember the ones in my kitchen for $10?}. However, once I put the bed over it and got a few more pieces of furniture in there, the …
Signs of Life : At Home in My Kitchen
As I stated in a previous post, a single room in the new house is yet to be completed. The kitchen is probably the closest to finished but the art remains on the floor leaning against the wall, I am in need of a spice shelf and possibly a great vintage clock …but I’m gonna …
Eames House Bird
I am slowly but surely decorating our future house as I foresee our cash being depleted by buying the house and not being able to decorate it will drive me insane …SO, I splurged and bought the Eames House Bird a couple weeks ago and I cannot wait to get it. I got an email …
