Simple Fall Touches
I love Fall. I didn’t always. But now that I live in Arizona, where the weather is glorious this time of year, I absolutely love it. And so, I tend to get a little carried away when it comes to Fall decorating. In my opinion, you can never have too many pumpkins or fake leaves. […]
Garden Retreat
I wish I could say this Garden Retreat is in my own backyard, but it’s not. It belongs to my sister who lives in Silver City, New Mexico. This past week, I visited for a couple of days and was able to soak in the scenery while sipping on a glass of iced tea. It […]

Best of all, there’s no other one like it anywhere. The idea for it came when I began noticing hexagons in all sorts of design elements, […]
Crafty Christmas
Have yourself a very Crafty Christmas! I certainly am. For the last couple of months I’ve been up to my eyeballs in building and painting decorations for a candy-themed Christmas party. (Which explains why I haven’t posted any blogs in a while.) Now that I’m finally finished, I’m free to move on to other projects, […]
Music Room Makeover
This Music Room Makeover is hitting all the right notes. It’s bold. It’s brassy. And it’s just a tiny bit mid-century modern inspired. Now that I’m loving it, I keep asking myself, “Why did it take so long to re-do it?” Then I remember. The answer can be summed up simply in the “Before” picture:
