Tips, Solutions and Humor for Moms
Do you love home magazines (and great catalogs) as much as I do? If so, you might be interested in two web sites I have found. One is called One Kings Lane and the other is called Joss & Main. These are home decor web sites that send a daily email with deals on gorgeous [...]
On a family trip to Dollywood yesterday, I spotted these hub caps on the wall at a 1950s-inspired attraction called the Rockn’ Roadway. I thought the hub caps made really cool wall art and would be neat in a little boy’s bedroom.
So, I have one of those non-problem problems. You know, the kind that are meaningless, but yours nonetheless. My hand is on my forehead. I bought this couch on Craigslist because I love the lines of it. I think it would look smashing recovered in a warm white chenille with no skirt and chrome nail-head [...]
My friend, Victoria got this chair for free and had it recovered. I love a before and after, so I asked for some pictures. Before… …and after. Gorgeous, huh?

One of the things I loved in the renovated kitchen that our new house didn’t have was a pull-out garbage can concealed in the cabinetry. So, I thought– well, I’ll just make my own! I looked at my cabinets and found one I thought could [...]
Who says you have to put jelly in the jelly cabinet? I got a really cute one on Craigslist for $49 and I use it in my son’s room for his clothes. It’s the perfect height for him. I put a lined basket on the bottom shelf and we use that for his socks and [...]
