Khaki Band-aids

Lampshade Makeover!
Last summer I bought these lamps at Turn Style Consignment for $25 each. I thought it was a steal, but I always thought they were a little harsh, I’m not really a black and white type of gal – so … Continue reading

Calling all ‘Green Thumbs’
I need some help. I’m not a gardener. I’m missing that instinctual gardening feeling. I don’t even know where to start. I should say though, that I did plant about 20 hostas last year as a border along the front … Continue reading
Embracing the 1940′s
We bought our house from an old lady named Ruth. Ruth and her husband like to paint. In fact, it would appear as if they painted on a regular basis. And each time they painted, they just rolled right over … Continue reading
