I’m gravitating towards geometric design and shapes a lot lately.
Here are a few of the interesting geometric accents I’ve been coveting this week. The lamp and console I’m looking at getting for the living room, and I’d SO love a brass wire frame bear head for the dining room wall. One day. (more…)
It’s a lovely, bright, sunny, warm (-25 with no wind!) day today, and I’m stuck inside with a head cold. *sigh. On the plus side, the greenhouse is warming up with the longer days and it was nearly +28 in there yesterday. So I figured I’d take advantage of the brightness in the house and post some nicer pics of the dining room. (more…)
Now that it’s February, and I’ve finally put away the Christmas decorations, and the last buds of my paperwhites have fallen, it’s time to prepare the bulbs for next winter.
Since this is my first year planting bulbs, I’m still learning some of the tricks of the trade. As you’ll recall from my post earlier this winter on growing bulbs indoors, I’ve got a large selection of amaryllis and paperwhite bulbs that are ready for their dormancy preparations.
So, it’s mid-February, and I’m a little behind on packing up the Christmas decorations. Errrr, okay, maybe more than a little. But in my defence, Christmas is awesome. Yup, that’s all I got.
I did manage to get the tree stripped and stockings dismounted by mid-Jan, but then they just sat there. And sat. And mocked me. And sat a little longer. (more…)
I’ve just realized that I’ve left you all in limbo on some of the first projects we did in the house and never got around to posting the afters of the powder room renovation – or kitchen for that matter.
The kitchen is only a few more weeks away from being finished, so I’m going to prolong the suspense further. Yes I’ve been too lazy to finish painting that one last cupboard door, but can you blame me? I only just got back the use of both my arms.
As for the powder room, there are also a few details I’ve yet to complete, but am in no rush to do them, so I’ll share with you what we’ve improved so far… (more…)
