Anniversary Weekend ~ Part Tres

Sunday was pretty relaxed. We ate breakfast at District 7 again and waited for my mom to pick us up from the hotel (we had abandoned our car at her house). We said hi to the pup at Mom’s, they watched their Grand-dog while we were on vacation, and headed back out on the town. [...]

Friday Flight ~ Vol. 10

What can I say, I’ve got Ethan Allen on the brain. I love this bed. The linens aren’t really my style, but the bed frame itself reminds me a lot of my childhood bed. I’m a fan of the curves and the color and the ode to more country/classic style. And guess what! Its on [...]

The Photography Chronicles ~ 6

Meet the cowboy chair. I’m told it was a wedding gift to my mother and father. It sat in my mom’s house for as long as I can remember. It was then passed back to my dad. Then to the old lake house. It now sits in our guest bedroom. Its one of my most [...]

Oh Color, How I love Thee

There are just a few things that I am pretty obsessed with…Martha Stewart, Shoes, Design, Humorous Moments of Life, the few things I’m probably forgetting, and color. I wrote my senior thesis paper on color and its effects on advertising. It was fascinating really, and, it was beautiful. Because its color. And I often think [...]

A friend even trash picked the perfect coffee table which I have major plans for. Here is my loving husband doing one of his favorite things, putting things together. He told me that [...]

Its A Martha News Flash

So, while driving in my little 240 Volvo on my way home from work I’m listening to the radio, sort of tuned out because they’re on a five minute stream of commercials but two small words jump out at me and register in the conscious part of my brain…Martha Stewart. She has a line of carpet. [...]

Arms Like Jello

Bill and I have been hard at work today, we did the lawn (he mowed while I edged), cleaned the house, painted my office, put everything back in my office, went through an incredible amount of paperwork that needed to be filed, and we did laundry. Be impressed. But after painting and the weed eating [...]
