I need a new rug for the family room. And yes, need is actually the correct word.The shag rug is probably a health hazard. The shag is a little too perfect at hiding messes, so it's time to move on.
Here's my family room...
And here's the 3 rugs I'm eying...

When the people down the street had a garage sale, and I saw these:
I knew it was a must. Sure, they're pink now – but they'll be fabulous once painted. The lady said she got them in the 60s or 70s from a retail store that was closing. I can totally picture them once in an old school toy store. And better yet, I...

Well, it's not an exciting photo, but with the money we just dropped on a new a/c, there's no way it wasn't going to get photographed.Another issue we have each summer is Chip's allergies. Westies are itchy dogs by nature, but this year his itching and fur biting hit a new level that the Benadryl wouldn't cure....

My backyard landscape is growing strong:I love how huge the asiatic lilies I planted last year are:
As for my other poor yucca, it decided to grow crooked, which was fine until the blooms weighed it down:
I'm excited that my outdoor tasks are done for the year. I scratched the climbing roses plan off my list, for...

So, it just occurred to me that I never posted either of these reveals. I want to post them together, because I only get to keep one, and well, decisions are hard.(Please forgive my terrible pictures. I've been under the weather, and the thought of retaking and/or staging photos is not an appealing one).

Sorry, for the break – I've been grouchy (you are welcome to picture me stealing Oscar's trash can here).What should have been a simple "freon refill for our air conditioner" visit, turned into a "you'll be lucky if your air conditioner lasts through the summer" visit. Yay. I told Brent there was no way we were...

The 6-week journey of 5 sofas for the man cave is now over.It was a long, brutal process, but it's over now. The issue was the landing going down into the basement – nothing would fit in the space.

I can safely say that my mom's birthday party was a success. As you'll be able to see from the photos, I kept it a similar format to the beer-tasting party – after all, if it ain't broke...My reasoning for sticking with white wines was a simple one –
my mom + wine = spillage.
Well that, and that my mom prefers...
Eeeek!
