More Fall Decorating... at "R" House

I love decorating with "JUNK" all year round, but fall, rusty metal, and primitive wood just seem to go hand in hand. Red is not my normal go to color in clothes or when decorating our home, but I do enjoy using barn red in the fall. I like the... Continue reading

Fall... It's Coming To "R" Home

Labor Day weekend is behind us, the kids are back to school, and the fall festivities have begun. Have you started your fall decorating?

Glensheen, The Congdon Mansion-Part 2... My Favorites

Here's a small sampling of my favorites during our visit to the Congdon Mansion in Duluth, Minnesota. This beautiful entrance leads to the breakfast room, which is high on my list of favorites at the mansion. The sun streams in through these glorious leaded glass windows that enclose three sides...

Glensheen...The Congdon Mansion in Duluth Minnesota, Part 1

During our recent trip to the Northshore, Bethany was excited to tour the Congdon Mansion. The guys opted out and took in the train museum instead. Our self-guided tour began in the Carriage House, and the architecture had us at hello. These large sliding doors had us drooling. I think... Continue reading

Deep Down Cleaning & Lemon Oil

I've been tackling some long over due deep down cleaning in our home. A few weeks ago I finally conquered our master closet. I felt so accomplished when it was complete and looking all neat and organized. The best part was I had filled two very large garbage bags to... Continue reading

Too funny... I was just taking pics this morning for a blog post and decided it was time for an SLR. Then I read your post, great minds think alike. I'm still on the hunt for a black portable typewriter for our office. The thrill of the hunt! So glad you got your SLR, can't wait to hear how you like it, I'm jealous. Office flooring first, then an SLR is next on my list.

A Few Days Away... the Northshore

A few days away with no schedules to keep and some quality time for our family, just what we needed before Jonathan headed back to college and Bethany full speed ahead into soccer season. The joy of the journey is the car ride, our vehicle was stocked with all the... Continue reading

A Mother's Heart

On my heart today... the hearts of many moms I know. They are all in the midst of sending a son or daughter onto the next step in their growth to adulthood. There are many seasons of motherhood, from the day your first child is born, until the day of... Continue reading

Home Office Renovation... the early stages

Our home office is in great need of renovation. It was on my list of home projects, but not at the top... until I found this work bench. A few weeks ago while I was sitting with my laptop I came across this work bench on Craigslist. It was fate,... Continue reading

Out of sight, out of mind! :)

I do love having a storage room. Now that it's organized, it makes me smile. I'm enjoying the little things this summer, family time, neighbors, our yard and just more relaxed in general. :)

Making Room For What Matters Most

We can actually see the carpet and easily walk around the storage room. Previously you had to have your flamingo legs on to high step and navigate all the obstacles on the floor. This isn't going to be a pretty decorating or inspirational blog post today, it's one of those... Continue reading

M & M Cookies... a family fave

My family loves M & M cookies, it's one of the first questions from my niece and nephew when we arrive at their cabin. "Did you make M & M cookies?" I found the recipe in the church cookbook from my home church growing up. Church cookbooks are my favorite... Continue reading

When your days don't go as planned...

We all live by a weekly/monthly calendar of schedules, events and to do lists. Nothing that has happened lately has been on my calendar. A small water stain appeared in the ceiling of our basement... so a gorgeous Saturday is spent inside with my husband, measuring and cutting holes on... Continue reading

Lanterns... not just for candles

I've added lanterns to my list of decorating staples. I love the warm cozy glow they give to a dark corner or nook in the fall and winter months in our home. I place a battery operated candle (with the timer feature) and every evening the candles set the mood... Continue reading

Coming Up For Air... it's been a long haul

I finished the last major leg of my lengthy journey to close our store Patina General... the garage sale at our home. Hubby's golf clubs are photo bombing this shot. It's been an exhausting several weeks. Many people have asked me how it feels to be done with the store.... Continue reading

The Last Few Months... It's been a Blurrrr

I told my husband earlier this year to fasten his seat belt, because this spring was going to be a wild ride. A ride it has been! Finishing pieces for the store knowing the last Occasional Sale was quickly approaching and we wanted to clear as much out of our... Continue reading

Where to Begin... that was my question this morning???

This is one of those "life as it happens" posts. I'm feeling a little over whelmed this morning, where to begin is the question to ponder? The college kid came home this weekend with all his STUFF! Crates, bins, hampers, garbage cans electronics, sports equipment and enough laundry to keep... Continue reading

Gardening Opener

The men in my life look forward to Fishing Opener, but I prefer Gardening Opener. A trip to Fairview Gardens, my greenhouse of choice, is a day I always enjoy. I love getting my flower fix and taking in all the beauty and colors. It's a time to soak in... Continue reading

Yes Amy, we are closing. Our last Occasional Sale is next week, May 5 -8. We are ready for a new adventure that is less stress on our bodies and doesn't consume our homes. Looking forward to getting some of our own home projects done that have been on the back burner. It's been a great business to raise our kids and work from home most days. Now our kids are in college and high school, they just need cars and money.
