My latest favorite color combination in a simple and relaxed Easter time tablescape.
I have a little eye candy inspiration for those of you who enjoy setting a pretty table for holidays. (Or, any day!) Have you noticed how popular the pale blush pinks and corals have become this spring? I am loving them so much that I decided I would feature them in my Easter tablescape... I ...
Thank you Mimi!

Thank you, Nancy! am still on the fence about the hutch...it goes great as-is with the kitchen flooring, but when you look towards the living room from the kitchen area, you see no black...as in, when entering the front door you see the living and dining rooms, but not the kitchen. That is when the black hutch seems a bit too bold.....to me at least!

Dining room wall decor update, at last.
Ohmygosh, could you hear my nail gun and me squealing with delirious glee at 1:45 am last Thursday night? (Or Friday morning, depending on how you view that time I refer to as "the middle of the night".) I am 100% happy at long last with my dining room wall! (For now anyway. You know how I li...
Thank you Kathryn!

Thank you girls! Kathryn, are you following Clean Mama's routine, or doing your own version of spring cleaning? I'm loosely following her, but adding in what I see that needs to be addressed as I go through.....

Out with the old, and in with the older.
...and so much cuter, if you ask me. Remember my old one?..... Eeeeeeeeewe. It worked fine, and did it's job for me in the kitchen for these past six plus years, but I've got to say, I am not gonna miss it one bit. I think the new-to-me white range looks more intentional, in a Susan-Branch...

Dinahsoar, I hear you on the house prices! Good luck finding something....
Debbie V my shower curtain came from Urban Outfitters Online about three years ago. They have some cool stuff f you poke around their site!
Brenda yes, to each his own, and as for me and my house, we shall lean in towards science and the "better safe than sorry" approach. We have had three different friends in end up in the hospital with Covid. One of them was in for over a month and almost died. (She is younger than me!)Two of the three still have long term problems with memory, and strength. We have had 2 family members of friends die from Covid. Your family is very blessed to have experienced such mild cases.
Thanks to all of you for taking the time to read my blog and for elaving a comment!

My spring cleaning continues this week in the one and only bathroom in the house.
Is anybody doing spring cleaning along with me? According to Clean Mama, whose system I am attempting to follow, says "....last week we cleaned the baseboards, did deep dusting and light fixtures last week. If you didn’t, catch those things up as you’re deep cleaning the kitchen this week. Mon...

On a roll with kitchen spring cleaning, thanks to Drew Barrymore and someone named midwesternmama29.
**First off: yesterday's post has been updated with "after" photos of my Day One of Spring Cleaning in my kitchen.** I was feeling pretty proud of myself once I completed my clean out of the kitchen closet, but I didn't stop there. Nope. After the closet clean out, I went back to working on b...

The post where I figured out what I will NOT be going on the dining room wall.
Ya don't really know until you try, right? So, in one of my last posts, I mentioned the dining room, and the wall of mirrors I am planning to replace. I was positive that my weathered shutters idea was going to be nothing short of perfection when I envisioned it in my mind. (Que the theme musi...
