WALLS can TALK: Looking for a change? A pick-me-up perhaps? Seeing the same-same stuff in your home can become dull and uninspiring. Seasons change and so do our interests and motivations.

Are you afraid of upsetting the balance of complacency in the home? As the darker days descend upon us, our focus turns…

Something’s not working? As with many routines in life, we need to shift our habits with the seasons. In our case, the back door entry was also the spot to park the washer and dryer. A little tight on most days, but bringing in two, large, muddy dogs to dry off… well? This first picture was taken after we stripped the cupboards and took out a large laundry sink and shelves. We had more room for the pups to turn…

Video conferencing is high on the list of staying sane! Apparently Face-time, Zoom and skype usage is UP 2000% in the last month! WOW!

If you could read my mind: A Simple Game of ABC The lyrics to a popular song lead to wonder, mystique and perhaps misconception about what’s going on inside ourselves.

Getting tired of your bedroom? Ready for a SPRING REVIVAL? Here’s one great idea to change things up! This master bedroom, thou clean, crisp and cozy wasn’t quite working for the couple.

Game night! There was always a game after supper. My earliest card games I learned from my Grandparents. The times we were allowed to stay over night were always on school break. Without parents around, we could have our grandparents’ undivided attention. Our precious time after the evening meal was a way to connect.
