Join Me in the Living Room (along with the cats!)
The Living Room. The first room we really remodeled in this house. After almost a year of strangely painted walls with an ugly stripe, a Popcorn ceiling with a water stain, no TV and a ripped up brown leather couch. We rarely spent any time in here. The idea for the living room came together […]
A New House Exterior
After living in this little house for six years, the exterior has finally been redone! The house was lined with aluminum siding when we bought it, and everything was painted white except the sad looking shutters which were way too small for the windows. The paint on the siding was flaking off and the shutters were […]
Weekly Journal
It’s time to bring back the blogging aspect of my blog! The house is finally painted, the windows are replaced and the shutters are gone! It’s hard to believe the house finally looks like what we have been envisioning for all these years. The cats did great during the remodel! The boys have a history […]
A Garden Theme
A bit of a theme has appeared in the garden this year.. My wildflower garden was suddenly a sea of yellow and purple. A bit of an unusual color combination, but I didn’t mind it! The Allium bulbs that were planted last fall had sprouted up as fluffy purple spheres. And the lone foxglove from […]
A Snow in December
A snow in December is rare around here. Especially in early December, before Christmas. When I looked at the weather forecast, and saw it was supposed to snow a week later, I certainly didn’t believe it. But then, on that late Friday morning, as I stared out the window at work, towards the dark grey […]
Cat Bedroom/Laundry Room/Office Remodel
There was an addition put on to our house many years ago that originally acted as a hair salon run by one of the previous ladies who lived here. For us, it became a bedroom for the cats while we dreamed up ideas of what it would one day become. They cats need their own […]
Around My Desk
I recently posted about the cat bedroom office laundry room Remodel, which happened in January. Here are some pictures I took the other day of my favorite corners of the room. My miniature shelf. I love collecting tiny things, and am happy to finally have a place to display them in an organized way. I found […]
Neighborhood
With the the days being longer, I like to make the most of them by taking walks asoften as possible. Even if it is just a quick wander through the neighborhood. In the spring and summer it feels like my favorite time of day, dusk, lasts so much longer. In the winter it seems that as […]
Cat Bedroom Remodel
There was an addition put on to our house many years ago. It was originally a hair salon that a lady ran out of the back of her house. But the last few years it has been the bedroom for the cats. They need their own bedroom at night because otherwise they race around the house […]
Cat Photos Friday #88- The Washer and Dryer
When we finally got a washer and dryer, I was interested to see what the cats thought about the new machines invading their favorite spot, the back porch. The boys were very cautious and took turns peeking through the cat door, until they were brave enough to come all the way out. After giving the […]
