No Soliciting Sign / Porch Light / Mailbox / Doormat / Pillows / Porch Swing / Grecian Urn / Floor Mat Since the painting began on the house, I’ve been thinking a lot about sprucing up the front porch; it looks pretty sad. I have already planted up an urn and put it by the front door, but it needs more. The door is not centered and I think…

Painted Doors
Purple / Blue / Red / Orange / Yellow / Pink / Green / Turquoise / Teal I still haven’t completely committed to a paint color for the house. I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with Mindful Gray for the House and either Dovetail or Gauntlet Gray for the trim. I’ve always wanted my house to be gray because it makes such…

Eating…at Kamp’s 1910 Cafe. The deli at Kamp’s Grocery Store used to be one of my favorite places to eat, so I was excited to try Kamp’s 1910 Cafe. The ambiance was reminiscent of the old deli. I had the Mama Mia Club which was good but not as tasty as I hoped it would be. I…

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I hope to get back on a semi-regular schedule this week. I can’t believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone. Hope you had a good holiday weekend. I had a nice Thanksgiving with my family. I got to see most of them on Thursday and then more of them…
Dining Room Update
Dining Room Chairs – Before & After I bought my mid-century dining set at a second hand shop over ten years ago. At the time, I had the vision of covering the seats with purple velvet swirls; I’m guessing it was probably something I saw on Friends. I think it’s the only time that I’ve…
Last Week in Pictures
It’s finally clicked that the only way I’m going to learn to use the manual settings on my camera is to take a lot of photos. I did not realize how many pictures I had on my camera until I uploaded them from my camera to my computer. There were over 400 photos on my…
Should I Give Up the Ghost?
I am in need of an office chair. The one I had was super comfortable but didn’t really fit in with the look I’m going for in my office. My Dad has had some back problems and was looking for a comfortable office chair. Since he liked mine I thought it had a good home…
Lately…
Watching… Saving Hope. I happened across this show one night on NBC and quickly caught up on the current season on Hulu. The premise sounds kind of cheesy and last week’s episode with the big outbreak was a bit much, but overall it’s a pretty good show. Drinking… La Croix Cran-Raspberry Sparkling Water – I’ve been trying to…
Etc.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have been super tired and run down. On top of that there has been a lot going on. I’ve been traveling frequently to my parents’ house to help prepare for the move and spend some time in my childhood home before it belongs to someone else. That…
