You might remember this project from way-back-when but my dad’s dining room at the lake cottage started out looking like this: The room was actually taken down to its studs prior to this picture being taken but I don’t have any shots of that. Over the years, we added the table & light fixure & built-in cabinetry. […]
August 27, 2011I’ve got more pictures of my new fabrics/ curtains! (I’m sorry if you’re sick of them by now, but I am so insanely excited that I can’t stop.) In my bedroom at the cottage (my dad’s) I decided to hang my newest design Queen Anne’s Bouquet on either side of the doors to the balcony: […]
August 23, 2011We got the curtains up in my dad’s lake house this week and it made such a difference. We still have a lot of work to do but it’s really starting to feel good. Curtains always seem to make a house a home. It suddenly feels warm & lived in (in a good way.) As […]

August 14, 2011After Monday’s post – with me saying what I think doesn’t work- I received a bunch of questions about what I think does work concerning upholstery on a budget and concerning kid (and pet!) -friendly fabrics & options. I dissed microfiber (even tough I have some in my own home) and bulky silhouettes. If your sofa is […]
August 11, 2011Let’s talk about “kid friendly.” I may be tired today or I many be impatient this morning, but I’m going to say it pretty straight: You CAN (and SHOULD!) have a well-done beautiful home with children in the house. I find that sometimes kids are people’s excuses for not getting exactly what they want or […]
August 9, 2011I’d forgotten all about one of the games I used to play as a kid: My best friend & I called them our “wizards.” We would look at each other upside down, cover up our noses & mouths and see “wizard” faces. It looked like creepy men with beards. Sometimes we’d draw lips on our […]
