It’s happening just as I feared it would. And much faster than I expected. Just today I wrote a post expressing my chagrin at the chosen Pantone Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid.

I’ve been in-love with this kitchen for so long: I just can’t get it out of my mind. And this weekend, my water heater went south. Doesn’t everyone, when faced with a water heater replacement, say “Well, I guess we might as well just rip the kitchen on out and re-do it.”? I know I […]
Modern Small Space Design
Are you ready for this: At first glance I said to myself, I’m not ready for that. I guess it was like a little introspective moment because the more I thought about, the more I thought… well maybe. Whoknew? I’ve known for quite some time that I could be converted to the dark side, er. […]

You can see larger, non-flashy, versions of these over at Blissful Home where I write a weekly column. While you’re there, look […]
Shutters – Not Just For Shutting Anymore!
A couple of weeks back I did a short video on some outdoor projects in which I pointed out that outside was a great place to hone those woodworking skills before heading in. I suggested that shutters might be a good place to start. They can be very simple, like these: These may be simple, […]
