Living Room Makeover

October 22, 2011 By Sage 7 Comments

I was really leaning towards red, but it seemed too heavy and in a way, too masculine. I took a chance in the hallway and it paid off. After that, I knew there would be deep pink somewhere in my living space, but it seemed too bold a choice for the living room. But why?… Continue Reading

What color will it be?

September 28, 2011 By Sage 8 Comments

The wind beneath my decorating wings is in Seattle for a week and I’m itching to paint my living room. Actually, it’s good that he’s in Seattle because he’s of the opinion that I should hang some artwork and mirrors and call it good, but then again he’s the one who was pushing white with… Continue Reading

Color

September 4, 2011 By Sage 14 Comments

Once upon a time, I dreamed of an old house full of plants, color, and funky secondhand furnishings. Then I found a husband and was persuaded to buy a very traditional 1940’s Colonial in the suburbs. It was someone’s dream house, but it wasn’t mine. Before I knew it, I was shopping at Banana Republic… Continue Reading

The other night, I had a mishap opening a bottle of red with a cheap hotel corkscrew. I panicked, but had the good sense not to go at it with the liquid soap/shampoo combo from the wall dispenser before strategizing my approach. The internet suggested removing it using salt, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, Oxy-Clean, and many… Continue Reading

Success

June 27, 2009 By Sage 1 Comment

Alas! We will not be impressing our neighbors with a fancy TV delivery. With a $90 part, Jeff was able to fix our behemoth of a television in under half an hour. The convergence amp was dead, so he replaced the convergence board and now the picture is good as new! Sure beats plunking down… Continue Reading

New Headbands

June 3, 2009 By Sage 1 Comment

Ever since I made my first set of headbands, I’ve been on the lookout for new and interesting materials for round two. The top and bottom bands are made out of upholstery trim that I scored for 50% off at Joann Fabrics. Who knew you could make headbands out of upholstery trim? These are a… Continue Reading

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
