Art dresser organized…finally!

Share

I was so inspired by these little heart plastic boxes at Target that I decided to reorganize the art drawers.  It was a big job that involved three trips to Target to buy enough of the boxes.  It took about a week to complete!  That seems outrageously long but we have a ton [...]

closet rearranging

Share

Do you ever feel tired of all your clothes?  I do.  I rearrange my closet to make me feel better (my absolute favorite thing to do is rearrange furniture so I guess it makes sense…for me anyway).  I come up with a new color combination and put all the things that can mix and match [...]

Laundry

Share

Since Liam was diagnosed with Lyme earlier this week I have been cleaning like crazy.  I don’t know if it is because the fog has lifted or if I am a bit worried and trying to distract myself…but whatever the case may be, I cleaned out the sitting room and dining room at the front [...]

A few things…

Share

I have just started planning regular meals again after a couple of months of eating pasta, eggs etc.  I have for sure decided that I missed cooking real food.  It is the constant kitchen clean up that gets me, not the cooking.  When you try to mostly make food from scratch 3 times a day [...]

Last Weekend

Share

Last week I began washing all the winter clothes/sheets/coats/hats etc and storing them for next winter.  I unpacked the summer clothes and pool towels

This led to weeding out clothes that are too small for the kids.

Which led to cleaning out the boys’ closet.

Which led to moving furniture down to the basement.

Have I ever showed you my inspiration books?

Share

I keep all my magazine inspiration pics in binders like this.  I LOVE looking at home dec magazines and can’t bear to throw them away without tearing out the pics that I love.  I get so many project ideas from my books.  I think Country Living is my favorite right now (since so many [...]

A new pink tray…

Share

$3.49 at Ross.  I had a tray here before for the cat food but it broke and we have been without one ever since.  It is SO much nicer having the tray to hold the cat bowls.  It really keeps this little area so much more neat and tidy.  It is strange how happy [...]

So I rearranged my closet…again…

Share

I think this has become like moving furniture in my house.  I get so sick of things and as soon as I move them I love them again.  The same goes for my closet.  I saw on Nester’s 31 days to a less messy nest that she organized her closet by color.  Since I have [...]

Housekeeping note…

Share

So my darling brother (aka Uncle Fish) has begun helping me fix up my blog.  He is responsible for turning it pink and creating the little house  that appears up there in the tab section next to darling dovecote.  I think it is called a “favicon” or something.  It is supposed to a remembrance of [...]

So…

Share

So, I started out last week with jury duty on Monday.  Painful.  Literally.  After sitting all day in a no support-type chair, my back went out on Tuesday (after cleaning my trashy bedroom and half of the filthy bathroom, oh…I forgot to take an after pic…).  Not the terrible bone rubbing thing it used to [...]
