I already told you we were getting ready for a baby shower here in the cottage.  One of the girls is due on November 5.  I know it’s probably not the most ideal thing for the mom to have a shower, BUT, she hasn’t been around this area for YEARS.  And, I didn’t want […]

We have been wanting to add some outdoor string lights around the fire pit area again but just never took the time to do it.  There are some at the Squatter’s Camp, the Pergola Swing, and the back deck (new post coming soon on those).   They just add the perfect amount of twinkle to the woods.  […]

This pergola swing has been an ongoing project.  Do you remember when we started this.  I believe it was July 4 weekend.  Then it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.  Honestly, the project got put on hold for WEEKS because of the mud around that area.  We then got the brick pad done under […]

This look in the dining room isn’t rocket science or earth shattering.  LOL  I actually just asked Deb if this look was way too simple to share.  She said, “Some people like simple.”  And, I figured you may still be inspired and possibly have a few of the same items to duplicate the look.  So… […]

I told you that we are having a baby shower here at the end of the month.  It’s for one of our girls.  I know it may not be kosher to have a baby shower for one of your kids. BUT… she has been gone from this area for 15 years.  We just both feel […]

  I love putting together different looks on side tables.  Number one, they are small and simple to do.  Number two, they take a few minutes.  And number three, the looks can be applied to different areas in your home.  You can do pretty much recreate the same thing on a buffet or your kitchen […]

  I have told you more than once that we are having a baby shower here at the cottage at the end of September.  It will be Halloween Themed one because mommy loves fall and Halloween.  I cannot wait to get this cottage all decked out.  I am slowly working on little areas.  The inside […]
