I have great news! Operation “Honeymoon Suite” is complete! These two pieces were our living room entertainment center before we moved to Germany. I would like to fill the left one up with quilts.  Seth would like to buy a second television. I would happily agree if we found a live in nanny so I [...]

Remember the “Extreme Ball Gown Make-over” idea I blogged about a few weeks ago? Yeah – I’ve got two weeks left until the ball… Time to get crackin! What projects are you working on right now? Anyone know of a babysitter I can pay with Oatmeal Raison Cookies?

In a quiet corner of my living room, there is a stack of handsome old suitcases. I wish they could tell me the stories of their travels. Where they have been and the stories of the people they traveled with. After cleaning a thick layer of dust from what was perhaps many years spent in [...]

This is my front door. To the right is my dining room and to the left is my living room. And down the hall next to the red quilt, is the teeny tiny coat closet. Because of the way the door opens, this creates a… shall we say “difficult situation” when we come in the [...]

If you follow my blog on Facebook, you might have noticed some chatter about some more Junkin Treasures I found this weekend!  Two lovely old suitcases and a small pile of wooden clothes hangers.  I loved how some of them had German business advertisements stamped/written on them! What to do? What to do?  Honestly – [...]
