I am buzzing around with Holiday Preparations for the upcoming season. It is a true delight that fall has finally found Phoenix. I am finding myself drawn to various shades of cream, taupe, and sage this year. Holiday Preparations My preparations began with a thorough cleaning of Décor To Adore manor. Every cupboard and closet was gone through. After I cleaned the oven, microwave, refrigerator, and pantry I made a list of fun holiday foods I wanted to see on the shelves. Trips were made to ...

Knockoff Who’s There?
The annual torture has begun arriving in my mailbox. Yours too? Pretty, sparkly, shiny things that this magpie just adores… and can not afford or just cannot bring herself to pry the money out of her crafty hands. So Knockoff Who’s There? As many of you know my sweet girl has worked for Anthro/Urban Outfitters for oh, I guess three years now. It is an awesome company to work for. They are very good to their employees.

A Spooktacular Setting
I don’t think I have ever blogged about my neighborhood during Halloween. We are blessed to live in a cul ~ de ~ sac of kindness. Phyllis always sets up a candy station in her front yard first.

Saying Boo to a Bad Bathroom
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the bathroom lately. No, not like that. I’ve been trying to find a way to fall in love with it. Strangely enough, 97% of master bathrooms in Phoenix have no doors. Yes, you read that right. No doors. I’d like to talk with the man who thought that was a good design idea. (Yes, I am sure it was a man.) Saying Boo to a Bad Bathroom. The entryway into our master bath is over 9 ft tall. It would take an incredible amount of good luck finding a door to fit that ... View the Post
