A Sneak Peek Of My Office (Because I’m Not Just About Kitchens!)

At times I think to myself…I would love to know what it’s like to have the type of personality where I start a project, and then FINISH the project, before moving on to the next project. Unfortunately, that’s just not me. I’ve never been that way, and I don’t foresee a personality change in the near future

 My Color Palette & A New Wall Color (Feel Free To Weigh In!)

This week, I’ve had a few people suggest that I choose a new wall color, such as apple green, and it occurred to me…I don’t think I’ve ever really shown y’all the direction I’m going with the whole color palette in my living room/dining area/kitchen. Perhaps if I showed you that, then you would understand why I will NOT be painting my walls apple green or any other color. Yellow is the

 My Kitchen/Dining Area Progress So Far (And Needing Your Input…Again!)

Last night, I FINALLY got my kitchen and dining area clean. After sanding and sawing for two weeks, it’s nice to finally have all of that dust cleaned up! And I can’t even express how excited I am to have my cabinet doors back on my cabinets.

 Beautiful, Colorful Chandeliers (and a Sneak Peek Of My Glass Chandelier)

For me, it all started with this picture:Of course, I’m talking about my obsession with bright, colorful chandeliers. I don’t know where I first spotted that photo, but I blogged about it two years ago here, so as you can see, this is not a new obsession for me.And I’m not picky…it can be a spray-painted flea market find, or a gorgeous (and obscenely expensive) Murano glass chandelier

 Color Inspiration from Photographer Jill Merriam

I had to step away from the computer all day yesterday…not by choice, but because I had yet another computer bite the dust. I don’t know what the problem is. I really don’t think I’m all that hard on computers, but they just don’t seem to last around me.

 A Word About My New Sink (and Breathing a Sigh Of Relief)

After writing yesterday’s post, and admiring my beautiful countertops in the pictures, I was suddenly struck with panic. In the pictures, my new sink looks so incredibly small.See how small it looks? If I didn’t know better, I’d think it was just a little prep sink!But still having not used the sink (I’m waiting to call the plumber until the countertops dry fully), I began to think that perhaps

 Is It Wrong To Say I Love This Sink?

 No Progress…No Report (But Check Out This Great Paint!)

Well, for the second Monday in a row, I have no progress to report on my tiny little condo. It was expected, though. I really had too much to do this weekend, and I kind of figured there would be no time left for home-related projects.

 Random Thoughts On A Friday Afternoon:: Built-In Cabinets and Window Treatments

It’s Friday! And a beautiful one, at that. It actually snowed for about an hour today, which is an incredibly rare sight here in Central Texas. It was short-lived, and of course none of it stuck, and now the sun is out in full force.

 I’m Getting New Cabinet Doors (Pssstt…I Need Your Opinion!)

Remember the other day when I shared what I’ve accomplished so far on my family room? I mentioned that the center cabinet wasn’t finished yet, as I eventually wanted to reconfigure the doors so that the cabinets look less “kitchen-y”.

 Nightmare on 129th Street

Over the last year or so, we’ve heard countless horror stories of families losing their homes in foreclosure due to unscrupulous lending practices, losing jobs to the poor economy, or catastrophic illness causing financial hardship. This is NOT one of those stories. The confirmation hearing was set for 3 weeks after the auction.
