The Huge Impact of a Simple Bathroom Fixture Update
While driving down the street of my old neighborhood, I noticed that a house I had previously blogged about in "Confessions of the Curious Driver" was once again up for sale. Apparently, I'm still curious because I just had to look it up when I got back home. The new MLS photo's were not that ...
An Easy Veggie Dish the Whole Family Liked
I'm not one to brag. But when I knock it out of the ball park and my whole family liked it, I'm going to shout it from the roof tops (or maybe just a 2nd story window). Can you spot the two secret ingredients below? If you guessed wine and heavy cream, you're right. You just can't lose ...

A Color Story Inspired by Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey is best known as a period drama that takes place in an amazing castle. But it's more than that. It's the story about a home, and it takes place in the REAL Highclere Castle. Sure, it may be a grand castle in the Jacobethan style, but it's also someone's home, full of history, ...
Romantic Country Tween Dream Attic Bedroom
When we bought our house, the attic was started, but hardly finished. It’s an odd space as it also houses a walk in cedar closet, an electrical box, and a door to the rest of the attic. We had to paint it, add molding, finish out the closet, add carpet and update the lighting. Its long hall and ...
A Guest Room for Travelers
The challenge - a small, dingy guest room in need of updating, using mostly what we already have. The upstairs of our home is cape style, with 7 foot ceilings and opportunities to bump your head on the angles. The walls and ceiling was dirt colored, with dark trim and outdated blinds. The ...
Easy (Changeable) Zebra Glam Girls Room
My sweet little girl asked for a Zebra Glam room in our new home. Even though I had just redesigned her last room, we're in a new house now, and the room needed painting anyway. Hmmm. I had previously sworn off pink theme-heavy rooms. But how could I say “no?” Plus, she regularly reads my blog, ...
A new living room for $660
A blank canvas – a long room with awkward traffic pattern from the foyer through to the dining room (back left of picture below). The challenges: $600-ish budget, so I mostly had to use the furniture I already had. Had to allow for flow to the dining room. Had to be family/pet ...
DIY Photography Feature Wall
Got a blank wall that you’re not sure what to do with? Here’s how to build an easy art feature wall using what you probably already have! I dug around the unpacked boxes in the basement and attic of random photos and frames, and pulled out all the ones in black frames and black/white prints. ...
Home Office Inspiration for those who DON’T Work at Yahoo
Marissa Mayers sure stirred it up this time! To be completely transparent here, I’m a huge advocate of telecommuting. But I see both sides of this story. The company is in trouble and perhaps time spent bonding in person will generate the next big idea. Maybe? I just think it’s ironic that ...
