My Decorating Resolutions

Posted on February 2, 2011 by jamie

This post is about a month late, but at least it is here–with few pictures. (I am trying to learn a quick way to post pictures so the process doesn’t feel quite so cumbersome.) I don’t want to give up–even … Continue reading →

Say Goodbye to 1985 Window Treatments

Posted on October 15, 2010 by jamie

Ever walk into a house that is stuck in the eighties? Lots of mauve, seafoam greens, and peach. Some definite Art Deco influence and highly structured window treatments. I don’t exactly know what the floral pattern on the fabric was, … Continue reading →

Home Improvement Can Be Hazardous to Your Health

Posted on September 3, 2010 by jamie

Dry Spells

Posted on July 1, 2010 by jamie

Are You an Over-Achieving Mom?

Posted on May 28, 2010 by jamie

Attitude Adjustment

Posted on May 11, 2010 by jamie

(Not sure why my caption isn’t showing, but photo credit goes to flattop341 at Flickr.com.) I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired lately. Projects, cleaning, everything I need to do just hasn’t seemed all that…well…interesting. What gives? I’ve been thinking about … Continue reading →

Money Well-Spent

Posted on April 16, 2010 by jamie
