Do you want to build a snowman? I couldn’t bear to throw out our fall pumpkin stack, so I repurposed it. Looking for fun snow puns for the sign. Share in comments. Also, how do people make all those super cute signs? Do you just know how to do that or are there classes for lettering?

So, this is our daughter’s room. It looks pretty much exactly like it did when she left a couple of weeks ago to go back to university. This leaves me with a couple of questions. 1- Didn’t I teach her to make her bed each morning? 2-Should she have stripped the bed and left the sheets in the laundry? (She did leave early in the morning). 3- Why can’t I seem to be able to either make the bed or strip it myself? Maybe it’s because I want to climb back into that bed and smell her sweet scents and pretend she’s still here. I think I may have just answered my own questions. My heart goes out to all those parents who have children away or are not available to them. Kids are super special. The bed can wait.

ahhhh..... the family room. Simply White (matte finish) walls provide a blank canvas for the Bond Venom (TileBar ) fireplace tiles. The gorgeous mantle was handmade by Debbie at The Barn Side of a Broad. I am thrilled with the play of light and dark. It just feels so soothing and calm. Can't forget the Terracotta Warrior that we brought back from Xi'an; he always stands guard. Special thanks to for the beautiful money tree. I think I found a spot that will not serve as a salad bar for the kitties. Ian Crookenden Angie Crookenden Wicker Hunt Wolk360

Finally found the dining room table today. Loving the top-down, bottom-up cellular shades. Soft, filtered light along with just the right amount of privacy (for a downtown, corner lot). was the bomb! From ordering to install, everyone did exactly what they said they would do at the time they said they would. What a treat! .nc
