Master Bath






The Granite counter tops were installed throughout the house and has made a world of difference...I LOVE THEM! I also love adding a few small details to change the "Ordinary" to "Extraordinary!" Ribbons, Lace & Glass Bead Trim can really make a bath & hand towel really stand out! I stayed within the same color key but mixed knobs on drawers & cabinets to really personalize our space.

Master Room Bedding


A Sample Photo Of Our Master Bedding Purchase
Made Online Last Night From pemamerica.com.

I've had my eye on this print for some time now...And have been shopping for the best pricing.
I've learned that when doing online shopping, even the same company has sale pricing, not advertised, at the bottom of the page...where it indicates that other shoppers have also looked at these items. Lo and Behold, there was the exact same Comforter Set for $40.00 cheaper...both items being sold through pemamerica.com.
Lesson learned...One must always be watching out for themselves, even while frugal!

While I am a seamstress, among other things, I don't really have loads of extra time so I wanted to make a basic purchase and then do some small sewing to complement the new bedding. I have vision and I'm picturing some really cool items that will make a very lovely Comforter Set transform from "Fab" to "Spectacular!"
Photos Coming Soon!

Home Remodel




After 9 days of total mess - furniture displacement and layers of dust, we replaced our Entry Hall tile, Living Room, Hallway and Dining Room carpet for Hardwood Floors. Hurray!!! When the project began, we moved all the furniture out and started in the Entry...total NIGHTMARE!...The tile lay on 3 - 4 inches of concrete and was such a pain to break up and remove, not to mention all the dust, dust, DUST!!! The carpet was very easy to rip up, along with the padding, tack strips and all the staples. Next came the base boards and a good sweep of all the rooms. Last, was building up and replacing the Entry sub flooring so that it was level with the other rooms.

We could have, as it would have been more economical, but in the end we paid to have the Hardwood Flooring installed. It took 1 1/2 days and it is positively BEAUTIFUL!!! HONESTLY, I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!! I LOVE IT 200%! Thank you to my wonderful husband for his hard work and patience with me! And many thanks to our wonderful kids who pitched in when they could! I'll give my husband some time to regroup...but as for me, this project was so worth it.

Our "To Do" list has a few items checked off now...1. Furnace Replacement - 3 installed. 2. Air Conditioning Units - 2 installed. 3. Carpeting 3 upstairs Bedrooms, Hallway, Staircase, 2 main floor Offices and main floor Family Room. 4. Hardwood Flooring installed on main floor Entry, Living Room, Hallway and Formal Dining Room. We're making progress! :)

Fill Your Home With
Special People & Special Moments,
Frozen In Time, Through Photography.
Surround Yourself With Those You Love Most!

Bringing Outdoors In




We're blessed to live in such a beautiful world...
Why not bring some of that Beauty indoors?
There's nothing like flowers to brighten a room,
lift a spirit, add color to any decor or
simply add fragrance that permeates any Home!

Bring in some of your favorite blossoms, twigs,
budding branches or fresh fruits & vegetables
and turn any room into a cozy retreat!

Inspirational Kitchen Ideas






These are some Kitchen Inspirations that I really love! Why? They're classic and never outdated. While Hardwood floors in the kitchen, laundry and baths are currently really popular, it is NOT POPULAR when plumbing, refrigeration or dishwasher leaks occur! It can cause wood to buckle and totally destroy hardwood sections! Personally, while I love hardwood flooring in a home, there are certain rooms that are better served to have tile. Clean up is easy for both and there are so many selections to choose from.
