I’m mid-project right now, but I still wanted to share the beginning parts of this new DIY with you- and get your votes for how I should finish it. As many of you know, I have an awesome bookshelf/desk combination that my husband built for me. It’s got lots of storage space so as soon … Continue reading
Welcome to Autumn everyone! It’s that time of year again- everything changes colors. Here in Arizona we don’t really have seasons, so it’s not the leaves changing colors here, it’s all the displays in the stores. I was in Michael’s today and saw decorations and merchandise for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless I’m having a … Continue reading
It’s Friday again, so it must be time to be inspired by a little perfume sample. This week I got a sample of Boucheron’s Place Vedome- and I have to say, I really, really like the perfume. It reminds me of Jivago’s ’24 Karat Gold’ Eau de Parfum which I used to wear all the … Continue reading
A few weeks ago, my husband Sergio, and I were at goodwill and found this kitchen cabinet for $7. We’ve been talking about better organization in our garage, so we decided to just go crazy and get it. Before we even got through the line at the cashier, I had already devised an alternate plan … Continue reading

This is such a unique experience for residents of the Valley of the Sun that it got us all thinking about (usually) foreign-sounding topics like puddles and umbrellas. A common sentiment I hear when it does rain is “Oh, I love this type of weather” … Continue reading
Here’s a quick sneak preview to the progress- and obstacles- of the blue chandelier. I found a big, ol’ ugly brass lighting fixture to resuscitate (but before I had a chance to take a before picture, it was slightly dissected). So, here’s basically what we’re starting with- Then it got a few coats of blue … Continue reading
Remember last week when a perfume sample was the inspiration for a barstool? Well, there was another perfume card hanging up on my bulletin board. I remember when the lady at the department store offered it to me, I wasn’t really interested in a perfume named “Honey” but I was attracted (maybe like a bee … Continue reading
Is it called milk glass? The white glass with the dots? What ever it is called, I’m totally drawn to it. I don’t have any, but whenever I see it in a magazine or a store, I really have to talk myself out of buying it. Watch out if I ever encounter a milk glass … Continue reading
