Got Water Spots? I’ve Got a Magic Powder
We have 2 large (8 feet wide by 4 feet tall) windows in our living room. Nice, but they’ve actually always been an eyesore since we moved in a year and a half ago because the previous owner apparently ran her sprinkler and let it hit the house. Here in Likely, this causes horrible water spots on the windows and you couldn’t even see through the bottom half of those windows! ...
Read MoreI could live here – could you?
File this post under “Things That Catch My Eye So I’m Going To Share It/Save It Here.” As usual, I just couldn’t help myself. Because I could totally live here. Exactly how it is. Black paint, cement walls and floors (if they’re heated, of course), giant windows, an amazing patio space, giant beds, built in bunks, a view to die for. We even love that...
Read MoreVelcro, I’m Over You (aka Cloth Diaper Update)

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...
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.

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!
