The bewitching hour is near (and maybe past where you live). But, better late than never.
I wanted to post my pumpkin earlier, but he was feeling a bit under-the-weather. It seems he caught the dreaded Swine Flu and the stomach flu as well (poor thing), but he still wanted to greet all those little goblins [...]

I’m back with part 2 of my previous post “No Sew Drapes On A Dime”. In that post I showed how I used sheets to make inexpensive drapery for my big window. I also had a smaller window that needed some attention, but the same long drapery would not have worked well because of lack of wall [...]

It may seem a small thing, and literally, I guess they are! But merely switching out drawer pulls on an old dresser can really give it new life and better incorporate it into a new design (much cheaper than buying new furniture!).
While paint or new accessories can really change a room, it’s the little details [...]

Here in our little corner of the world it is almost time to go back to school. Most of our students will be back in classes within the next couple of weeks. Although my own children are adults, I still like to look at photos and read articles about the various ways to decorate [...]
