Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to my blog! My hope is to pass along ideas you will enjoy using in your homes and in your lives. No, I am not Oprah, giving you life advice or Nate Berkus redoing your pantry. My point of view is more practical if not occasionally foo-foo. Decorating should be fun and you should change your decor often. My ideas and vintage finds will help you do just that. Oh, and you may get some fun personal and family stories. We are a small family but we do a lot!



Since I started my blog a couple of years ago, I find I am writing more about "ideas" for your life. Or at least, things that happen in my life! Hopefully I put a smile on your face and help you set your dinner table.

Table scape with the notorious #1 thru #4 plates!
Here's an idea of what you can do with chalk boards.  I have used this 11 X 14 inch gold framed chalkboard for a menu in a dining room.  It is combined with two small oil paintings. It's a formal look combined with a very simple inexpensive decor.  Check out the table scape. Every thing was purchased at discount stores except the vintage flatware. Note to myself on the salad plates: If you buy plates with the numbers one to four painted on them, remember when you use them you are rating your dinner guest! Someone is going to be #1 and someone will be #4. Two and three don't matter but think a long time on those other two numbers!
