Oh. My. God. Discovered a warehouse of (highly over-priced but matching and in-stock) mid-century modern wall plates, bathrobe knobs, door pulls and handles. All chrome. All the time. I’m like a kid in a candy store. Today was a day for buying. I also ended the torturous decision of which valence and shower curtain toContinueContinue reading “Watch out Grandma!

Looking Forward and Back
Every year when I was little my Aunt Jan would gather all of the cousins at Thanksgiving and ask each of us what we were thankful for. Instead of resolutions for 2015 I’m going to consider what I’m grateful for in 2014. I’m thankful for 12 years of marriage to a wonderful and patient man.ContinueContinue reading “Looking Forward and Back”

I promptly decided not to go there. But when the Pink Project started gearing up I started using Pinterest toContinueContinue reading “Pinterest Is Not a Secret”
60-30-10
So, if you Google “home decorating” and “color” you will be inundated with the 60-30-10 rule (I love rules). Apparently, you “cannot go wrong” if you utilize this method of color coordination. Apparently, I utilized that method in my living room without even realizing I was doing it. Let me say that this method isContinueContinue reading “60-30-10”
Progress in Pink
And the Mamie Doud Eisenhower wallpaper is gone! Wow! What a difference. I’m not feeling tempted to busy up the walls with more wallpaper but it sure does look lonely in there. This is moving me in the direction of paint considerations. 1. I don’t want big window curtains back. A valance will be fine.ContinueContinue reading “Progress in Pink”
