It took me about a minute to add some gold leaf details to the plain black frame that surrounds the antique frame above. I used a gold Sharpie oil based paint pen. Remember this picture of our master bedroom? I felt the oil painting on the side wall was too small for the space, but it is a really beautiful piece, and I wanted… Read More
DIY Doodle Plate The plate wall in the dining room keeps growing as I find new plates to add, but each time I add a plate to one side of the wall, I feel like I have to add a plate to the other side of the wall to balance things. Over the holidays, I was adding a new plate… Read More
Are you traveling to London anytime soon? It’s on my bucket list, and I know exactly where I will stay – professional photographer Debi Treloar’s B & B apartment. It’s located in the quiet section of Queen’s Park close to central London and the accommodations are perfect, eclectic and comfortable … not to mention exquisitely decorated. Debi turned her garage that… Read More

It has a galvanized finish on the canopy and a gorgeous jadite colored band around the glass globe, but with it’s $163.00 price tag for a small light, it is not in my budget. Believe me, if I had the budget, I would run not… Read More

I gave it a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore Regal Select in White Dove. It immediately brightened up the room and made it feel bigger. The… Read More
Yvonne @ Stone Gable I will be emailing you shortly. Thank you to everyone who entered the blogiversary giveaway. I appreciated each and every compliment. Thanks for a wonderful first year!
One of my goals for 2013 is to update the back hallway. It is literally and figuratively a mudroom, because there is usually mud and grass cuttings decorating the floor. We use this door as our main entrance. It is teeny-tiny and also hosts the washer and dryer. We haven’t done anything to it in the five years we have owned… Read More
