The hydrangea are ready to pop—greenhouse is just at the end of the porch.

Good bones are what everyone wants in a house or garden. You can always fix the ugly with a little lipstick, or stone in this instance. I am shocked at the difference this small change has made in my back garden.

Who needs a little table setting inspiration—ME. Sometimes I run out of ideas, or maybe I just run out of steam. I am trying to do a better job of the whole table setting thing … even if it is just for two. I could have one to seven at my table at any given time.

Oh, I LOVE a good project! The laundry room is getting a fresh new look for the New Year. Pink says elegant, strength and friendship—what a perfect choice for my laundry room makeover. I have been looking for the perfect pink…not too Pepto and not too peach. I found it in Benjamin Moore’s ‘Tissue Pink.’
