These Are SO Cool
I am REALLY into space-saving devices. I dislike clutter. I like my furniture with legs (Queen Anne style) because I like the airy look. I dislike knick-knacks and other clutter, too. So when I was searching around for computer monitor wall mounts and spotted this at Buy.com, it was instant love. Isn’t that cool?! The [...]

20. July 2010
I admit, I am not a very good “safety gear” kind of person. It’s over 90 degrees for days on end! I am NOT wearing heavy denim overalls, steamy dust masks, and safety glasses that fog up. One thing I’d like to know is how does wearing safety glasses improve safety? I think they jeopardize [...]

2. July 2010
I have a home business. Somewhere in here, lol. It’s kind of in limbo right now, because of our ongoing renovations… but I DO actually have a home office here at home. I am realizing how very, very important it is to have a quiet, tidy, and organized home office, because mine is always dirty [...]

11. June 2010
Since we’re renovating, I’m paying much more attention to news and government actions about home ownership and renovating. And it’s getting scary out there.

10. June 2010
I was at Buy.com, looking around for supplies for the kitchen, when I did a quick search– out of the blue– for wall-mounted gas heaters. Holy cow, Buy.com even has those! What a marvel!

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger. You can check out my other blogs here.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
