We got a new A/C system installed just a couple of weeks ago and will be applying the tax credits. Not only are we getting the $1500, but also $150 from our power company and a $1700 rebate from Yo...

I installed a new pantry, deep cleaned half the house, had a new A/C system installed, bought allergen covers for the bedding, purged like crazy, and emptied the outbox. I also made style trays for...

I'm having a casual tea party for my mom since it's Mother's Day on Sunday. I'll make some scones and muffins, and serve them with big glasses of chilled milk tea. :D

We've definitely been cooking at home more often, and from scratch if we can manage it since it's cheaper to do so. Lately I've been making big batches of foods like soups, pasta dishes, fruit sala...

jeffnyc, One of the girls is allergic to dogs so they had to get a hair type breed rather than a fur breed. Hair type breeds are mostly "froofy" such as Poodles, Maltese, Shih tzus, Bi...

Loved redecorating with ya'll. This series was definitely the best of AT. I'm sad it's over!

They already have this in Japan.

Hey ya'll! I'm looking forward to my 2nd Cure! Hopefully this one will involve more than just cleaning, trips to Goodwill, and a closet remodel. ;0)

Finished the craft room, which is our bedroom until we complete the bathroom remodel. I'm still working on the dining room and living room. We finally moved the drywall out of there, but since we'r...

I love it! My kitchen is a golden yellow and everyone says it's very bright and cheerful, despite having honey wood cabinets and dark counter tops. This brighter yellow looks great with all that cl...

Tonight, I made a small version of this with a handful of blackberries I had. They were spoiling and we'll be away for the holiday, so I made a mini cobbler, reducing the dough to 1/2 cup sugar and...

Palindrome - I totally call the cops on anyone that parks their car in front of my house, mostly because my neighbors tend to party until late and then I have to hear the car's owners throwing up o...

Thanks! I needed something impressive to bring to the in-laws. Looks like I'll have lots of dishes to practice!

Country Antique - 20% Scandinavian 80% Country That is so dead on. I truly do hate the chill of Modern design.

I did this in my dining room with some spare plaid scarves. Not only is it colorful, they're also handy when I'm on my way out!

I sew and am trying to include an organized sewing area as part of the Cure. I also wanted to knit but I was afraid that the yarn would take up too much space -- but that shoe organizer solve my pr...
