I’ve Been Nominated!
Wow…just when I was trying to figure out what to write about today, I found out that Kristin from Discover: Interior Design has nominated me for a Blog Award! My very first, how exciting!! She has honored me with the “Honest Scrap” award, yay! I really love this whole “blogging” thing. Not many people that I know in the real world blog or have a blog. ...
Read More‘Little Monsters’ Cupcake Toppers and Print-At-Home Party Set Up in the Shop!
Well…the title of this blog post pretty much explains it all. I loved my ‘grown-up’ “Ghoulish Glam” party set so much I decided to make a separate kids’ version! Aren’t they cute? I call them my “Little Monsters.” I love the little witches, monsters, aliens, jack-o-lanterns, mummies, spiders, skeletons and spiderwebs! Check it...
Read MoreHere’s What I Did This Weekend!
Happy Monday, everyone! Well, I guess that is sort of an oxymoron…can Monday be happy? I kid, I kid. What did you do this weekend? Did you have a big to-do list or did you take it off to relax? I like to do a bit of both, but we’re usually pretty home-bound on the weekends with just the three of us hanging out, working on projects here and there and then cuddling on the...
Read MoreBackyard Update: Gravel and Grass!
You might remember that this summer has been about landscaping for us. Be sure to visit update #1 and update #2 to see how far we’ve come, but this post recaps it all nicely too. The first year in the house was about the inside, and this summer we’ve been working on the backyard. What a job. To reiterate, we started with a backyard full of dirt. Then out of the dirt grew a...
Read MoreAdventures in Saving the Planet
As you might know, I try very hard to do my part in saving the planet. I know I could be better at certain things…i.e. I rely on my car waaayy too much, purchase more organic food options, compost, buy more organic clothing, etc., but I think I do pretty well in other areas. For instance, I use eco-friendly and chemical-free cleaning options (99% of the time – sometimes you need...
Read MoreWhere the hell is Likely??
Sorry about the -::gasp::- swearing! But it’s a little catch-phrase around here. You can even get it on your bumper sticker. I just thought I’d elaborate a little on the blog name and where we call home – the sprawling town of Likely, California. The REAL Northern California (7 hours NORTH East of “Northern California” San Francisco). I know a lot of you...

Read MoreAbout Me
I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
