Find the Kitty Friday
My daughter snapped this on her cell phone. Where could that skulking kitty be?! She’s doing it rite! LOL Well, another year is winding down. I haven’t been thinking of any thoughts on renovation lately until about a month ago. It was about that time that I really “let” my desk “go.” I have always [...]
Continue reading...Very Cool Signs!
Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Besides being a clock freak, I LOVE signs. I love retro signs, safety signs, traffic signs, goofy posters, everything. I’m just as happy having a framed copy of the U.S. Constitution next to my tin sign “DRINK COFFEE! Do stupid things faster with more energy!” Finding funny signs is another matter, though. I have located [...]

Wednesday, March 9, 2011
Here’s the latest update for all you who wait breathlessly for the continuing saga in my pitifully mundane life! I FINALLY got a clock. Woooo I live dangerously, don’t I?? Seriously… it’s been a long time since I started chattering on about this. EVen before we gutted the dining room, I didn’t like the cheesy [...]

I hung my beautiful giant clock up in the kitchen. I had promised myself to wait until the kitchen was completely finished, as a means of motivating me to keep on keeping on with this endless project, but I just couldn’t wait. I couldn’t!! The clock was BEGGING me to go up on the wall. [...]

I got my towels from DonnaKaranHome.com last week. They are super! I’ve never had such luxurious towels. I am getting so spoiled, I tell you! These are from the Bamboo Boucle Towel Collection. And they are in *ahem* plum. LUSH, I tell you. LUSH! If you’ve been wondering where to get some really exceptional linens, [...]

Thursday, October 7, 2010
My new curtains from CurtainWorks came in! They go marvelously with my living room, don’t you think? I am ecstatic at how beautiful they are, and how very well made they are. The kind folks at CurtainWorks gave me three sets for my living room. I absolutely LOVE these curtains! They are the perfect color, [...]

Saturday, September 25, 2010
I spent a LOT of time renovating the downstairs of the house. I also spent a LOT of time comparison shopping. Ugh! I am so sick of shopping I could scream. It was hard work, believe it or not! I hadn’t known that a neat website called ShopWiki could have saved me a ton of [...]

While we have moved in to the kitchen, the dining room still has no floor, and we are eating meals at the coffee table in the living room. I still have a good amount of work to do, especially the trim work. I have to have all the trim installed and painted before I install [...]

Saturday, September 11, 2010
Well, the trim work is still not completed (geez Louise, this house has a TON of trim), and there’s no floor down in the Dining Room yet… but we’ve reached the point in this adventure where I am starting to think about decor for the kitchen, living room, and dining room. FINALLY. I really haven’t [...]
Continue reading...I’m Rebecca
:) 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.
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!
