welcome home

My front door is really cool, but it has been hidden by the ugly black storm door for many, many years. So I gave it a facelift, removed the storm door and painted the door orange! Also added some modern numbers. The neighbors are loving me...seriously! One even knocked on the door to tell me how much they love the way I have changed the house...how nice is that?

end of summer

Hot...the perfect description of Summer 2010. I'm welcoming Fall with open arms. My little house has come so far in just 9 months! I absolutely love it.

orange you glad

Believe it or not, I have had this material for about 10 years. It has served its purpose in various forms....christmas tree skirt, table runner, etc. I decided I wanted to use orange as an accent color on the front porch. Mom and I looked everywhere for some cool fabric to make some pillows, but just didn't have much luck. I remembered that this super cool fabric was packed away in the attic. Orange you glad I found it?!?!

kitchen curtains

I put Mom back to work at the sewing machine. I ordered a really cool track from West Elm (www.westelm.com), which makes the curtains very easy to open and close. Pretty cool!
