For me, spring is the time to bring the outdoors in. As the windows are thrown open, spring cleaning commences and more & more time is spent outside, it seems a logical merge. When assembling some affordable style selections from World Market, my goals were fresh & reflective of nature. Springtime is ideal for birdwatching, [...]
White Christmas trees are something you either love, or could never see yourself doing. Years ago, I bought an inexpensive white Christmas tree, intending to use it for the vintage ornaments I picked up at estate sales during the summer. As soon as it came in the house, getting a live tree came to a [...]
Refinishing a table can be an easy DIY project, that is both quick and inexpensive, especially if your main problem is the table top. I refinished the tops of my side tables one evening and they were ready for regular use the next day. I would like to note that I would be very reluctant [...]

We live in an old Victorian home. It has lots of unique style that I love, but like most houses from the era, can be a bit of an energy pig. Most of the windows have been changed out to energy efficient ones and insulation was blown in a couple years ago. Over the last [...]
My little girl turns 5 today. Over this past year she has worked hard, doing 30 hours per week of ABA therapy to help her with the disabling effects of her autism. She has been a little trooper through the bulk of it. While she still isn’t talking, her focus is much better and she [...]
I love vintage style when it comes to most holiday decorating. I have a few vintage Easter decorations, but not nearly enough to decorate my house. Original vintage holiday decor is hard to find offline, and is both pricey, and often in poor condition, when you do find it online. The Celebrations by Radko line [...]
My living room was last fully done over about 9 years ago. It has been showing it’s wear, and over the past couple years, the pillows have dwindled, the artwork above the sofa fell and the frame & glass broke (never to be replaced), the finish on the top of the side tables has worn, [...]
