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.

Houses of Church Hill






Recently my husband and I took a Sunday afternoon walk in the Church Hill area of Richmond. Our place is close by and there are several scenic walks you can enjoy. We had a yummy brunch at the River City Diner and then we took off up the hill. The area is not called Church Hill by chance. Walking up many of the streets is reminiscent of San Francisco. The views of downtown Richmond and the canal are lovely.
There is a mix of architectural styles and periods. Many homes date to the early 1800's. There are free standing single family dwellings, duplexes and row houses. The condition of the homes varies from street to street but many are restored to pristine condition. The sidewalks are brick and mature trees line the streets.




Lots of gingerbread on these homes.
