Happy Halloween!
That’s it today. I’ve been busy with the little one and the hubs today so I don’t have any designer-y posts. I just want to thank you all for reading and to enjoy your Halloween weekend! Harper will be a witch! A nice witch, of course! xo, L. Isn’t she a doll? This is what pumpkin patches look like in Likely,...
Read MoreI <3 Facebook
And I really love all of the little links that people post on Facebook so that I may discover lots of goodies that just make my day. Like this. Thanks for posting, Holly. I’ve never been to Paris, but thanks to Nichole and Evan of Little Brown Pen, I can pretend that I have and live through them vicariously through their video about the making of their ‘Perpetual Paris’...

For example – how do you make cute cupcake toppers like this out of what a seller sends you? Easy peasy.

Read More{Likely Solution} Ugly Tile
So you’ve probably already figured it out…we didn’t finish painting this weekend. But we had a good excuse! Glenn’s sister has moved into a new rental and we were there most of the day Saturday helping her unpack and rearrange. Glenn started priming the exteriors of the windows on Sunday, which led him to working on all sorts of other outdoor chores. I was inside...
Read MoreNew Windows: Part 2
And here they are! I can’t wait to paint them. Or take the sticker off of the bathroom window. You know how that goes…just haven’t had a chance to get the gooey stuff off yet! But the sticker has some useful info: We purchased them from our local Ace Hardware and the brand is MI Windows and Doors (the company is in Pennsylvania). They are Energy Star Qualified in...

Okay, so I know that I promised to post pictures of our remaining new windows today, but I need to wait until tonight to take photos. I didn’t take any last night and I didn’t like how they turned out in the morning light, so I’ll post it tomorrow. Plus I can’t stop thinking about what I’m going to post about today instead!! In my blogroll you’ll see a...

Hallelujah! All I have to say is…I love hiring other people to do the work around here, ha! We’ve never hired a professional until now, and I am so glad that we did. I wish we had A LOT more moolah so that we could just sit back and let others do the big jobs that we have planned around here. Don’t get me wrong, we love to do a lot of the work ourselves, but sometimes...
Read MoreThank You to My Advertisers!
Just a little note, reminding everyone to check out the advertiser bar on the right side of the page! You’ll find some great treasures over there, and I want to thank all of them for their support. First up is Mahogany Ridge Guest Ranch, a quaint (and beautifully decorated) guest house in beautiful Jess Valley, California. It is a great vacation spot if you’re looking for nothing...
Read MoreSafety First…
…and unfortunately, style comes second in this case. Last week we ordered a hearth gate to surround our wood stove because our little Harper LOVES to climb on the hearth, and she is fascinated by the ceramic medallion on the wood stove. It’s been alright during the warmer months, but now that we’re burning fires we knew we had to protect her. It isn’t the prettiest...
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!
