It’s time for another round of the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda of Calling It Home. If you’re not familiar with the One Room Challenge the premise is to transform a room in your home within six weeks. Linda hosts the challenge twice a year. Last fall I made over the Family Room and in the spring I concentrated on the Living, Dining and Entry Spaces. On both occasions, there were times in the process that I wanted to give up. The pressure is immense. But the payoff is that you are ... View the Post
Making a Daybed from Two Antique Headboards
This post will share a project on Making a Daybed from Two Antique Headboards. For almost a year we have had just one lone chair and ottoman in our tiny sunroom. Interestingly enough the small tv we put in here became a big draw in this cozy space for Sweet Guy and his friends. We needed extra seating in the room for two to three more boys but space was a challenge. Enter in the idea for a daybed. When I attended Round Top this past spring I spied two antique French twin headboards. They ... View the Post
Decor To Adore Back To School Tablescape
Sunday evening we had our annual “Back to School” feast. For some reason, I am usually the only one excited about this yearly event. :) I created a fun back to school tablescape to help set the tone.

I used double stick tape to hold it in place. Protractors, rulers, and pencils also help to carry out the theme. The chalkboard placemats ... View the Post

Get ready for The Ugly Garden Contain Yourself. When we bought the house the beds had metal landscape edging combined with plastic brick edging. The Ugly Garden Contain ... View the Post

A Daybed in the Sunroom
Earlier this week I had one of my famous bright ideas. After weeks of wondering just what type of furniture I wanted to put in the sunroom, the thought occurred to me to have A Daybed in the Sunroom. We would need to move the daybed I wrote about it on Tuesday down from my office. The Fashionista said, “Let’s try it because I don’t think the bed is really working upstairs.” Sweet Guy though was on the fence. That is until we lugged the two heavy sideboards and rails down the stairs and put it ... View the Post
