It all started back in April, shortly after I’d finished rejuvenating the living room and kitchen, when Darling Husbie asked when I was going to get rid of the rest of the nasty peach color painted on the walls. The next room to get a makeover was going to be the office ~ the nucleus [...]

I cannot believe it’s been three weeks since I last posted, but the dates on the calendar do not lie. If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to ~ well, let me just tell you. I could tolerate the peach tinted paint no more! I’ve given the Farmstead kitchen and living room a fresh look. [...]

I had the shelving units situated along the wall, taking up one [...]

Winter may as well be a synonym for lock-down. It’s a time when the doors and windows stay closed and sealed tight ~ [...]

One thing I’m sure you’ll quickly realize as you spend more time with us is that we’re Project People. We love projects. It seems we cannot start and finish one project without taking on yet another. My darling Husbie has coined a phrase for this ~ it’s “Projects Be-get Projects.” We have to be very [...]
