Where we make our home purdy. Often for the holidays.
Yes, that’s right — we’ve achieved a goal! We hung things on the wall! Ok, technically, these were hung before thanksgiving. …..yes, we’re that behind in blogland. Oops! The frame on the right is a framed print we got when touring the Yuengling Brewery a few summers ago. It’s lived in a tube since then,… Continue reading FEED THE WALLS ~ Or, Finally Hanging Stuff
About a month ago Pittsburgh hosted the annual home show. Ordinarily, as we aren’t technically home-owners (renters unite!) we usually skip it, but we managed to get our hands on some free tickets and figured, why not?

So I needed handy means of storing both random assortments of things as well as clothes and shoes. Of course… Continue reading Creating an Organized, Cute Closet
