I have to admit that I get excited when I see a room coming together, and I’m feeling like this room is finally getting to a point that I’m pretty happy with it. You know that feeling when you’ve made some changes, and you feel like it’s the best the room has ever looked. This […]
Using a Dresser as a Sofa Table
My mom asked me what I was up to yesterday, and I told her I was using a dresser as a sofa table. She seemed to think it was an odd idea. Sometimes people don’t share my vision, but that’s okay. First, I’m going to go in the ‘way back’ machine and show you what […]
Breakfast at Cedar Hill
I love setting a pretty table, and I especially love a pretty table for breakfast. One of my favorite ways to spend breakfast is to have my favorite French black tea with tea and jam.

What you may not know about me, is that I spend a lot of time researching healthy living. I’m always on the lookout for healthy cleaning options, healthy […]
Group Home Bedroom Update
I thought I would share a bit about my daughter Elise today and the plans for her room. She is a big girl now and lives in a group home! She’s been living there for about a year and does so much for herself. We’re really proud of her. It’s amazing how they can get […]
