Vibrant colors and symetrical patterns are the main theme in my home and DIY projects.  For endless inspiration I look to nature and my current fascination is with the arms of an octopus.  The suction cups are mesmerizing! 

My husband and I have an eclectic sense of style probably somewhat by default rather than by choice.  We pooled our stuff together and the outcome we hope, is warm, inviting and gives people an idea as to what's important to us (the little things).  We have lots of odd objects here and there and no clue as to what they are or were used for, but we cherish them and enjoy seeing them around the house.  We love the warmth and character of old things and have some items that may be considered antiques by some, and junk by others, but we just call it our stuff.  An old hutch, a sewing table, a swivel chair... are all in different states of disrepair, but we see their potential and use them daily with the intent that one day they will get the attention they deserve.

created on: 05/29/08

We had a weedy patch of grass growing within a section of land that is approximately 18 inches wide by 70 feet long (it's situated between the street and our sidewalk).  The sprinklers did not seem to be getting this area very well, plus the labor required to edge and clean-up after, made getting rid of the grass a very desirable idea. 

After doing a little research I found some ground cover that is water tolerant, quick to » READ MORE

New Use for an Old Crate

By ZolaClaire

 

Repurposed Dairy Crate

What is it with bathrooms and reading?  I'm never in this room long enough to do a whole lot of reading myself, but I do know that others enjoy their bathroom time and there's always a stack of magazines sitting on top of the tank just for that occasion.  While the stack is small, it always seems untidy and bothersome because the magazines are too large and they end up poking you in the back.  But let's face it, as long as there's a » READ MORE

I can just imagine the next 'pirate' happening upon the rock formations and what that might lead to in their own imagination.
