Decorating with Indian wall hangings and Cat Stevens jacket art

When hubby and I set out to redecorate the pink bathroom we also had designs on re-accessorizing the living room. We’ve come in well under budget on that project and are very pleased by the results. I am now using our bookshelves as more purposeful display space and I’ve completely re-dressed the wall that theContinueContinue reading “Decorating with Indian wall hangings and Cat Stevens jacket art”

Stood up again

As long as we’re talking about contractors I should mention that we got stood up again – but this time only by 3 twelve year olds who have started their own weeding/gardening/babysitting/pet sitting business.
