My husband has a little weirdness about daylight saving time. Instead of waiting for the normal time to change the clocks, he starts changing the clocks on Saturday. Morning. And not all at one time. Nope, he has to leisurely space his time changing chore out. So throughout the entire day on Saturday, I have...
Vintage Easter Planter
Look who hopped into the thrift store just in time to jump into my basket! He's really a planter if the 40 year old dirt in his back is any indication, but when he's done with his Easter-ly duties, I'll put him to work holding pens and pencils on my desk. No spring break for...
Industrial Style Child's Bathroom
In the fall, we had our son's bathroom remodeled from your typical small full bath to a accessible bathroom with a roll in shower area. This has been a lifesaver in our household. Lifting a 80 pound child out of his wheelchair, into the bathroom and then up over the bathtub was doing a number...

Romantic Handmade Valentine's Day Garland
I have a love affair with those little heart shaped paper doilies you can find at the dollar stores. They're so inexpensive and just shout ROMANTIC DECOR to me.

Decorating With Bone China Bird Figurines
Birds are my thing right now. Used to be china dogs. Now it's china birds. Next it will be china platypuses. I know china figurines are probably thought to be a bit Great-Grandmotherly, but I'm on a campaign to make them cool again! Just watch, Pottery Barn will be all about china figurines in their...
