A few months ago our sons reported that "something strange" was happening to the wall behind their toilet. I sent hubby downstairs to investigate. He discovered what can only be described as "blisters" on the walls, and being the manly man that he is, he popped one and found that it was full of water.

Would you, Could you, in a Barn?

The handy man and I celebrated sixteen years of marriage on Friday, and in true form, we celebrated it surrounded by our family while we camped our last camping trip of the season. We are not fussy or complicated, nor has our marriage been; and that is just fine with us.

A Rocky Before

I came across a photo of what our fireplace looked like when we moved into our home. How's this for a "before" photo.Yes, we had our own rock climbing wall. Our boys loved climbing those rocks! However, they weren't too fond of having to pull the rocks off the wall and haul them into our yard when I decided to remodel the fireplace.

I love taking photos, especially of my kids. Who doesn't?

I recently changed out the accessories in my bathroom. A while back I had placed a weathered blue lantern on the counter with a candle and a pencil starfish inside. It was simpe, beautiful and beachy.But I found myself looking at it and thinking, "Blaaaahh." Maybe it was because, with the kids going back to school, I'm not in a beachy mood. Maybe it was that it had been sitting there long enough

House Guest Etiquette and the "Big Question"

What started me thinking about this is the Big Question: What to do with the bed before I leave my host's home?Sometimes I strip the sheets & sort of remake it with the bedspread, and other times, I remake it (usually when the host says "Please don't do anything!") and there have even been times (Oh mother-in-law how I love you!!!- forgive me!!) that we've left the bed sort of messily thrown

La Lighting...

So often when I go to a client's house, they are looking for help with choosing paint colour, furniture placement, and accessories.

I believe you can often tell what a client's style is by their choice in lighting. This is not a fool-proof guide however;

Rhoda from Southern Hospitality emailed me to tell me that another "blog" has been using my posts. They are posting each post in it's entirety. I am not the only blogger that is having their posts hi-jacked.At first I wanted to believe that it may be someone's inspiration blog. But every one of my posts have been posted there which leads me to believe that it's not just for inspiration. I have

Accessorizing with Ferns

I love fern. Whenever I see a photo of a room with it in it, I take a second look. It just gives this awesome fresh jolt of green & energy to a space. It has a classic feel yet it's a bit wild & untamed & perfect for any modern space. (And they're so inexpensive & available!!!)When I saw this room by Carlton Varney (in HB), it was the fern that got me. How beautiful is it against all that white?!

ADT Home Alarm for Complete Security System

The criminal statistic in United State is increasing rapidly per year, and the condition gives us insecure feeling. Our insecurity is very reasonable, the burglars can break into our home any time, when we leave our home empty or during our sleep. For us who have children, leaving the children home while we are away to work is completely worrying. Today’s burglars have no hesitation to hurt the

I've got a few request regarding this little bug of Windows XP not showing the TrayIcon (LAN icon, Anti-Virus, Winamp Agent, Winrar Agent etc ) despite many programs are indeed running on the background thus driven me to write a little guide as how do we solve this. This problem became a common issue in XP nowdays by the wayThese solutions applies to Windows XP Pro SP1, SP2, & SP3 but it may

Change Is Constant

I love my living room couch. It's long and deep and comfy. A perfect couch for napping on. It originally came with a lot of pillows that looked like this: Because it's such a deep couch the pillows actually stay in place and don't end up on the floor. Because it's such a pretty shade of chocolate brown almost any color looks great with it. Perhaps that's why I enjoy changing out the pillows so

Butterflies and Flip Flops...

Remember me? The normally prompt and predictable author of this blog who wrote posts on a a regular, timed basis? Well, I'm in there somewhere, and I certainly have been doing enough writing...In fact, I have been rather glued to the keyboard lately, trying to get the new Flea Market Style blog up and running in time for that promised mid-August release. As those of you who are bloggers know,

The Perfect Day

In almost a year and a half of blogging I have shared several DIY projects, lots of thrift store goodies, and numerous photos of the decor in my home. So that might lead you to believe that a perfect day for me would be when I've made something wonderful, or purchased an awesome thrift store find, or have my home or yard decorated to perfection.But that's not the case. An example of my idea of a

How to "Upgrade" Decorate

When you're just starting out in a space that you plan on redesigning or decorating from scratch, there's what I call "Damage Control" to be done. (pic below is a before of my aunt's house, who I helped/ advised during her redecoration.)These are the obvious things that need to be done and that can be done fairly quickly & fairly cheaply. Things like: painting, tearing up carpet to reveal

Energy Efficient Mortgage

By now, most people building a new home know enough about green building to know they want their home to be energy efficient for several reasons. Energy efficient homes are better for the ecosystem, eliminate toxins and allergens creating a healthy environment for your family, and reduce costs (energy costs, health care expenses, maintenance and repairs). High performance insulation such as SIP

Thrifty Family Room Finds

I picked up a couple of goodies at the thrift store that look great in my family room. The first is this clock that I paid one whole dollar for. I placed it in a thrifted tray on the door sofa table. Now hubby knows the time and where to find the remote.I also found this wool rug for ten dollars. It's in great shape and the colors and bold pattern are perfect in the family room. And yes, I put a

Cheap "Vintage" Fans!

I love fans. Especially at night when I sleep. But I also love a chandelier in my bedroom and don't want to sacrifice it for a ceiling fan.SO, I've been dying for a vintage floor fan or vintage look-alike fan. (check out Haskell Harris's bedroom below. You can see her whole house here.)When we were visiting my dad (we're home!) I went to my FAVORITE antique mall, Volo, and saw so many beautiful

Blowing Up Images on Canvas: Your Thoughts??

Ok, so I wanna have a little fun in my dining room... When I saw the gnarled tree print (below) that Nina Griscom had blown-up onto a canvas, I was in love & wanted to try it out for myself.I also LOVE the massive size of the hawk print in Victoria Pearson's home (House Beautiful) below.With these 2 houses in mind, I started searching for images. I've always loved The Little Owl by Albretch Durer

A Big (scary!!) Step

Eeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!! We bought a minivan!!!! Since our family's growing (below) and our other car was on its way out, we replaced it with a MINIVAN. It was actually a really frightening step for us... a minivan... that means we're grown-ups ... Being young parents, we're definitely the only ones we know with a minivan... You wouldn't think this mattered to us, but it did. We found one that sort of

Change Is Good

Last year I bought this darling birdhouse---at a real store, not the thrift store.Yes, I occasionally do that. It looked wonderful on my mantle decorated like this:When the holidays came, I put it into my "inventory room" (hubby's term for our messy storage room).I recently pulled it out of storage and once again placed it on my mantle. It's the same birdhouse, I didn't alter it a bit, but I did

Getting Cheap Car Insurance in Pennsylvania

Driving on the high traffic city like in Pennsylvania can be quite dangerous. All vehicles seem to run in a high speed and we have to adjust our speed with them so no one behind us will shout at us or push their horn loudly. Whether we love to drive in high speed or not, such traffic will be very dangerous because other drivers or we can easily loss our car control. With the high number of

Like No Other...

My good friend Chris, from Just Beachy, sent me over a great link a few weeks ago. She is well aware of my love of campers, and decking them out in pretty fabrics and charm - though my own doesn't even begin to touch this beauty. It's a good thing, I guess, because if it did, I'd have to sell the house and move in. Not sure where the rest of the family would stay...Because I'm a good mother, I'd

The Finial Act

As you know by now, I look at the world through spray painted glasses. Almost everything I see, I wonder if it might look better painted a different color. I am constantly amazed at how color can really change the character of an item. One example is this finial, a recent thrift store purchase:You may like it as is, but I like it so much better with a coat of cream paint topped with a bit of

How I Know...

How'd you like to have this job??!!I know what I am and what I'm not. I guess it comes with age and not really caring about impressing people anymore - that mind-set belongs in high school, as far as I can tell. I now tend to seek out people who are good for my soul, and I really think I have a good radar for the attributes I most admire in a person. I think we all tend to weed our garden as we

Artiste Extraordinaire...

I am no artist. The extent of my art collection is paintings and drawings by my kids that I stick to my fridge, or frame in a Walmart frame and beam with pride as I pass. Still, I'd have to be a complete ding dong not to know when good art is before me - especially great art like that of Lara Harris. I discovered Lara awhile back and marvelled as I pored over her amazing portfolio, on display at

Tag It

Have you seen these wooden tags at the Dollar Store in the craft section?I'm sure you can find something similar at most craft stores.They're ideal for painting with chalkboard paint!However, the wood is so thin that the moisture in the paint will make them warp. Don't worry! Once the paint is dry to the touch just gather your chalkboard tags and place them under something heavy for a few of

Master Bedroom Design Plan

As most of you know, we moved to our new house a couple of months ago. We've been working on it pretty much non-stop. Usually when I move to a new place, the bedroom is the one place I get feeling good right away... not so this time: Above is our bedroom when we first moved in. Clearly I added in some functional things like blankets on the bed & a lamp but we pretty much lived like this for a
