My pouf, my lovely new footrest. Don’t mind my plate rest – it’s just my baby belly getting into the frame. I must confess: this is not my pouf pattern. I followed the Red Heart Pouf pattern found here. They do a great job explaining it and it works up really fast. Now that I’ve … Read More →
Like soooooo boring. This has been my view for almost a week now: My vacuum also has not moved. My only consolation prize: my ankles look fantastic! I wish I could reach my toenails though, I would love to paint them a new color, this one’s almost grown out. The pouf I’m putting my feet … Read More →

The walls we painted Ben Moore Chelsea Gray in low luster and the eaves Snowfall White. A couple of neighbors stopped by and said they thought we had lost our minds when they saw … Read More →
You know the saying, “You get what you pay for”? Well. Yeah. Our color coat was free (not the labor, but the product).
