Pair of Oranges

Apparently I have more orange around then I realized. I snagged this salt and pepper shaker set at Target on clearance several years ago when I was in college. At the time, I wanted a kitschy kitchen. And you know what? I still do! The recipe box was my Grandma Cook’s. It came chock full [...]

Orange You Glad You Know Me?

Today begins the Week of Orange in my Project 365 challenge. While I adore the color, I definitely have less of it around than red- way less. So, this will be a bit more challenging for me, which is the whole point of a challenge anyway, right?  Today’s submission:

Lighten Up!

It’s a dreary day today and since we’re almost done with the bathroom, my mind is moving onto bigger, better and (ideally) brighter projects for our little house.

Mmmm, Cherry Cobbler…

I’m by no means a baker. Don’t even like baking really. So you may be surprised by the title of this post. Instead of talking baked goods though, I thought I’d show of the new color of our bathroom:

Priceless Pep Talk

I certainly never realized how disorienting being displaced from home could be. So much for New Year’s resolutions! I will continue Project 365, but there has been a little hiccup in activity since we don’t have internet access at the home we’re staying at while heating and cooling repairs as well as bathroom renovations are [...]

Last words, Part II

Since the main readers of this blog are our family and friends, I thought I would update y’all on the heating issue we’re having since some of you may actually care that we don’t have heat when it’s under 20F here at night.
After getting some recommendations from coworkers for heating and cooling companies in our [...]

Homeowner’s Famous Last Words

 
 ”It can’t be that hard to do…” 
Our thermostat lovingly decided to quit working on the coldest night of the year last night. We just installed it two nights ago, so that most likely explains a) the reason it’s not working and b) the rather unsightly unpainted area left by the old thermostat. We are die [...]

Project 365

I’m posting my Project 365 photos on Flickr instead of Photoblog. Flickr seems to be more user friendly. I won’t post most of my Project 365 photos on this blog, but will every once in awhile to get my regular readers used to going to Flickr for updates.
