Great place!

What a fun blog and I love these hooks!

I've been wanting to make crackers other than cheese straws, a southern classic, since so many options that don't contain soybean oil are so expensive. Thanks for sharing. And all of the great comments can only help.

Wow! Beautiful.

What a fun room! I'm also quite inspired by the behind the door chalkboard, which makes great use of often hard to use space.

Great room, and I agree that it will go far in withstanding the test of time.

These look great!

Jeff's and Lisa's stories touched my heart! Thank you for sharing them.

Several others have mentioned and I will concur - any cool color with north light will make the room seem univiting and cold. Even a hint of warmth in the color will help. Some of the other colors mentioned (esp the Ben Moore historical colors) might be nice, but you likely need them several shades lighter than the regular mix. A small room + north light = less color needed for a saturated look. Test out your selections!

The day my roommate's cat brought in a bird to play with...and then let it go. My bird story memory....And of course, said roomie, owner of the cat, wasn't home. Thankfully, I wasn't alone with Houdini the Siamese and his catch. Roomie #3 was also there to experience, wave, and shout with me. She was shouting more though as I recall, and that is because the bird flew into her room and sat in her clothes hamper. At this moment, I can't recall how the bird got out of the house except that it was unharmed by any of us, and I haven't let said owner of the cat ever forget that day, as years later we are still friends. And I miss her cat Houdini terribly. He always had a way of making me smile.
