Everything You Need for a Pretty Aqua Blue Kitchen
I’ve said many times before, one of the easiest ways to save money on food is to cook at home, and cook from scratch! But you can’t turn into a frugal chef overnight, especially if you’ve been using packaged meals or eating out frequently for a long time. That type of eating and cooking just becomes a habit, and habits can be hard to change. But you know an easy way to make at-home scratch cooking more fun? Having a pretty kitchen! And you don’t even need to do an expensive kitchen renovation. All you need to do is create… [Read More]
Fresh Look For My Small China Cabinet
Hi! I was looking at my small black china cabinet that’s in my dining room and realized that I hadn’t changed the flowers in the planter on top of it since last fall! It still had fall hydrangeas and bittersweet in it. So since we had a few days of stormy afternoons I thought I’d do something fun for a change and fix up my china cabinet! Painting walls & scraping wallpaper is not as much fun as it used to be 🙂 So this cabinet is narrow and the shelf space is teeny. You can only get small things… [Read More]

Decorating With Some Vintage Treasures
I have an eclectic mix of vintage things that I’ve found over the past year that I didn’t really know what to do with. One of this – two of that – none of it related type of things. So instead of just keeping these things put away where I can’t enjoy them, I decided to dedicate one shelf in one of my bookcases just to the vintage treasures that I find thrifting. I’m going to use that shelf like a rotating gallery. Putting out just a few things at a time (don’t want it to look like a cluttery… [Read More]
Decorating Changes In The Living Room
First off, Happy Earth Day everyone! I moved my living room furniture around again. After living with my living room the way I arranged it last February, I decided last month that I just didn’t like it and I’ve been trying different locations for the couch and chairs and finally settled on something I really like. I just want to show you one corner today. I moved the red table that I’ve always used as a side table behind my slipcovered Ikea Ektorp chair (which I love – it’s so big and comfy) and I moved them both into a… [Read More]
Collecting Small Things – A Favorite Thing
I’ve been working on a small china cabinet I have in my dining room. The shelves are small – not very wide, deep or tall. I usually display a few small soup for-one tureens in it since that’s all that will fit. It’s one of those pieces of furniture that I loved when I got it but it’s been bugging me for a few years now because it’s so small. I keep looking for a larger china cabinet that’ll fit in that spot but haven’t had any luck. I was playing around with this little cabinet, decorating it… [Read More]
