I'll admit that I'm a lover of all things fur. I inherited my grandmother's coats, and have a raccoon fur collar that I just LOVE. I knew that when it came to decoorating our home, I had to have something in here remniscent of the abominable snowman... But preferably a friendly version.

The Pinterest-Perfect Home
Here's the thing: I love Pinterest. The cyber idea-board of our dreams allows us to search for the best melon salad recipe out there. It'll then lead us to the original souce (when available) of said salad. Then, because it tracks your searches and movements, Pinterest will then ...
The Kitchen
It's the heart of the home, the gathering place. It's the steady and only sometimes chaotic muscle that allows us to churn out meals, morning coffee. It's where we sit to read the paper, to tune in to NPR or listen to Yo-Yo Ma over Sunday waffles. It's our kitchen, and its finally, truly ...
Patio Weather
For months- MONTHS!- I've been going on and on about wanting to get the back yard finished. I wanted to paint the planters, touch up the paint on the furniture, lay the sod, and find flowers that would not only look pretty but could serve as a centerpiece on a fun backyard lunch ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 4
Some things happen easier than we expect them to. We don't know why, and we don't question it for fear of the universe's karmic retribution. Thursday night, as the man and I were eating a Giordano's pizza we brought home with us in February (not quite as good as the real, fresh thing, but still the ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 3
Wednesday morning, my banister was removed. It was not a pretty process. My handyman, John, and I sat and stared for a bit at the giant oak banisters, and the four-inch-thick spindles that were built right into the staircase. After a few moments that seemed like a lifetime, we shrugged, wished ...
The Houseiversary
It was a year ago today that this home became ours. 365 days since we downsized, became suburban, and began making a small, somewhat vanilla townhome our own.
Usually, on the first Houseiversary, as I've dubbed it, my clients receive a sweet note in the mail, containing sentiments about one's ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 2
(Did you miss part 1? Catch up here)
It only took me a couple of days or so of thinking to determine that our best course of action at this point was to use the impressive box that this stinking mirror was delivered in as a template. 180 pounds of reflective glass is hard to maneuver in so many ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 1
You may have noticed that things were quiet last week. I didn't utter a peep. Why, you ask? Why were my lips so stolidly sealed? Why were my eyes dead, and emotions low? Well, darlings, it's because I bought a mirror.
You're confused, aren't you?
