I have been working on several small projects around the house. When the policeman came to my house after the burglary, I was embarrassed to tell him that a lot of the mess he saw had nothing to do with the break in. It was just all the projects I’m working on. Gradually I’m whittling away…
Projects
Make it Gold!
Yesterday I mentioned that I had a project to share with you. If you read Janell’s blog, Isabella & Max Rooms, then you have heard of Rub ‘n Buff. It’s a miracle worker. I’ve had this mirror for awhile. It had a copper finish, which was okay but didn’t really go with anything else in…
Shipping Station Update
Last summer, I told you about this cabinet that I found on the side of the road while I was walking the dogs. I still haven’t figured out what it’s original purpose was. My best guess is that it was once a stereo cabinet. As you may remember, I originally painted it with Rustoleum Safety…
Resolution #5 – Scan, Scan, Scan
I’ve talked a little bit about my goal to clear out the clutter in my home. A huge part of that will be to rid myself of all the paper and figure out a system for managing it. Do you ever feel like the paper in your home multiplies? It drives me crazy! On top…

I have a lot of dark walnut furniture including this Dolce Console Table from Target. I was a little surprised that Target still has this…
Meet Jerome…
Friday morning we actually had temperatures in the upper 60’s so after walking the dogs, I got outside to work on a small painting project. I did it just in time too, just minutes after coming inside my neighbors lawn service showed up to mow the dirt. There’s very little grass and all they really…
Looking for Inspiration
I think the heat may have killed all my creativity. Just kidding, but I’m definitely feeling kind of stressed and uninspired. I work best when I’m able to get out and do physical activities. There’s something about mindlessly doing something outside that brings about inspiration in me. With the current heat wave there is a…
