Styling a Sofa Table

...when you don't want a lot of clutter.

Concrete Pedestal for the Dining Room

One thing I've learned in living in this new house, that's smaller and "Open Concept", is that keeping a sense of "flow" is very important. Having a Kitchen, Living Room, Entry Hall and Dining Room that are all one big space can present some challenges in decorating.

Share Your Style #10

Hi Everyone, hope you've been having a great week, and have been enjoying some good weather. There are so many projects I want to get started on, and most of them depend on some decent weather!

I'm your host this week for Share Your Style,

 and I'm so happy you're here

 to join in for the fun and inspiration!

Potting Bench Beginnings

Over the weekend we were able to get alot accomplished by renting a U-Haul trailer, and with the help of our son-in-law, we emptied out one whole unit and then combined the last two. We started this a year ago with 4 big units that are climate controlled, so we were spending big bucks each month just to store all our stuff.

Small treasures...

I've felt a little frustrated these last few weeks on the unpacking front. We accomplished alot last weekend in the garage organization, but now box after box awaits my attention. I can't do much of it on my own since I have to wait for Hubbs to be around to lift the heavy stuff. We've made so much headway, but then I look at what seems mountains, and it's easy for me to get overwhelmed. 

Share Your Style #9

Hi Everyone, it's that time of the week again, and I'm so glad you're here! Time to Share Your Style with all your great posts about what you've been up to this last week. Hope you're having some wonderful Spring days and getting your spaces geared up for warmer weather.

Last week I did a post on some of our new little blooming trees in the back yard, Before they're gone was about cutting some Spring Branches, and then I added my Scrolly Chalkboard to my kitchen cupboard, with What's on Top of the Cupboard. Hope you'll get a chance to catch up if you haven't visited this last week.

On top of the Cupboard...

We've been working hard lately to get more boxes opened and unpacked, so we'll have space to bring more over from storage. It's a domino effect, with storage shelving going into the basement storage room first, then organizing the garage and getting Holiday tubs and decor stacked up and out of the way. I'm finding things that honestly I didn't remember I had... and probably don't need. But that's beside the point, because I'm now having to go through box after box of "stuff".

I am finding some of my favorite little things, though.
