Treasury

As I sit all day and ponder life's meaning and wishing I wasn't sitting in a cube....my mind wanders to happiness and love....then I think about the love.....

Merry Christmas

Lewis, look what you did to our tree

Pillows

When you are addicted to West Elm and want to purchase everything in the store, you need to think of a creative way to recreate.


I am currently teaching myself to sew via the fabulous book by Brett Bara, Sewing In A Straight Line.

This is what happened! So, I can sew a zipper on a pillow! Woo hoo

Cleveland Green

House Beautiful's March 2012 issue was based on the color Green.  I turned the pages and fell more in love.  I needed an accent wall to warm up the main living/dining room.  BM Cleveland Green it was!  See below.

During the day, it is a gold color when the sun hits it, and at night it has a nice olive green color.  I love this color!

Simple Kitchen

When my husband and I chose our house, we loved the clean lines and basic finishes....as time went on, we wanted to paint it and make it our "own".  Some days I look at the walls, and it looks like a model house.  Our first project was to paint the kitchen and make a few minor adjustments.

After - With Sherwin Williams, Mojito  (I am not a photographer, so ignore the crooked photos!)

A nice bright color and some new accents and it's starting to feel like home!
