Craft room transformation seems like a lofty title, but I assure you that this will be a huge transformation of this space in my house!! I am not a naturally neat person, my natural inclination is to organize in piles, I have a hard time letting go of even the most inconsequential drawing(s) that my […]

I’ve had plans to change our dining room into an office/den/project area for a long time now. We actually went out to a kitchen cabinet place with the intention of them pricing out unfinished wood cabinets for the room year ago–long before I ever picked up a circular saw.

One of the first things that I saw when I went to My Man’s apartment for the first time was this dining room table: I was impressed that this single guy had such a nice table. It was a good first impression–it got me past the weight set in the living room (which also contained […]

I read a book on organizing once that contained a bit of wisdom that has stuck with me since. It suggested that BEFORE you go out and buy even one container to begin organizing, you sit down and evaluate what your needs are in the space that you are attempting to clean up. Hmmm. Such […]

We have a lot of doors in our house. I know. I counted all of them when I was refinishing the door hardware. A. Lot. This is the view from our actual front door: This door has been used 2 and 1/2 times. Two times people actually entered the house and once the UPS guy […]
