Having worked in retail throughout college and being scheduled on nearly every Black Friday, I think the term "Black Friday" is hilarious. It gives an impending sense of doom that is totally appro...
We haven't waited, but I've definitely spent the night before scrambling to complete tasks I've put off for months. The first time my husband's parents came to visit we stayed up until 4 am hangin...
I don't have time most days, but Sunday mornings are perfect for lounging in my jammies and reading the sale ads with a cup of chai. The rest of the week my luxury is reading in bed before I go to...
Hooray for Nordstrom's!! I'm so over Target and their "Halloween over here, Christmas over here" at the beginning of October!
We will probably go get our Christmas tree this Sunday aft...
Much of our furniture is what I had when my husband and I first moved in together, so much of it is considered "placeholder." When I was in my first apartment I bought a dresser and one nightstand...
This last weekend we asked my husband's best friend to stop by the house on Saturday and check on the cats, feed and water them and turn on a couple of different lights. When I called him Saturday...

Our living room is slowly improving on the light issue. We have two lamps, canister lights over the fireplace and track lighting along the opposite wall. We never use the canisters or track light...
When my husband and I moved in together I got rid of my beloved papasan chair (just the frame -- I kept the cushion for lounging on the floor) and a table I had found whilst dumpster diving in coll...
I'm a big proponent of the Movie Bag. You get a bag (gift bag, paper bag, grocery bag, whatever moves you), throw in a movie rental or two (Red Box rentals work great for this if you need to keep ...
My best friend and my in-laws still smoke, so I picked up a glass ashtray at Dollar General for $.25 one day. Easy fix and everyone's happy (they usually clean up after themselves).
We keep light-sensor nightlights in the darkest areas of the house where guests would go that way there is enough light for finding a lightswitch. They may not smell as nice as a candle, but they ...
Couldn't we also insert the argument Designer vs DIY on the same principles? If I see a nice table and I don't have $3,000 to spend on it, but I do have the ability and tools to put one together m...
