Happy Valentine’s Day!
You knew I would decorate to celebrate, didn’t you š ? Well, you were right! I didn’t do much, just changed out the table centerpiece, added a little something to the fireplace mantle and ended up doing a little on our outside gate too. Part of the reason I don’t go all out on the […]
Read moreThe Big Game Super Decor
We had a few people over to watch the big game on Sunday. My hubby started this years ago at his place and we’ve continued at ours. It is a kid-friendly event, so I try to keep that in mind with food and decor. Again, I stuck with my “less is more” approach and embellished […]
Read moreA Few Post-Holiday Changes
The holidays are over. That means the Christmas and New Year’s centerpieces are out. A “winter” centerpiece has taken its place. Again, I’m about the simplicity. You can read about why that is here. This particular concoction isn’t new per se; it’s the same from last year. I guess it might end up being kind […]
Read moreNew Year’s is Months Old for Some People. Like Me.
Reading all these New Year’s posts of late has re-inspired me. I think of New Year’s as a three-fold holiday. Many years ago, I started looking at my “new year” as beginning in September – when I celebrate my birthday. I usually pick one thing that I want to work on about myself for that […]

We had my in-laws over on New Year’s Day for a post-Christmas celebration. It was great to see them and once again our Little Mister was spoiled š The holidays kept going and going for him this year! Of course I had to dress up the table a bit. Again, I strayed away from candles […]

Yes, you CAN Feng Shui for your animals! Animals are good Feng Shui in general – they bring a life force to your home. It’s great to have some “living” energy supporting your house. Animals are considered a fire energy because they usually bring activity to your house. Some more than others. This little princess […]

Extra points to who knows where that reference came from. Or maybe it’s from several places but I’m thinking of someone in particular. Anyway, how glorious it is to have a shiny new front door! We went from this: to this: I couldn’t be more enamored with the color – Red Delicious from Glidden for […]
Cue the Wealth
When we first moved in, it seemed there was too much to do. One of the first priorities was replacing the appliances in the kitchen. The fridge froze our lettuce! Lettuce reflect on that, shall we? After buying those, moving the stove and changing out the curtains (the frillys weren’t my style), I was donezo […]
Read moreMovable Christmas Tidings
I don’t know about you guys, but here at the Janusz household, we use our dining room table every night. Yep, for reals. Partly because we have a galley kitchen and although there is a tall bistro-ish table in there, we hardly use it (unless one of us is chatting with the other while a […]
