A Reminder of “I Do”
A few years ago, I met this guy. I liked him. First came love. Then came marriage. Then came Mr. Cutie Patutie. He (Mr. Cutie Patutie) was a little smaller then. Oh, and yes, I messed up that rhyme, so sue me 🙂 Just kidding! That would not be good Feng Shui. What is good […]
It’s Visionary
I’ve been making some changes to my office. Plenty more pics to come later. I just want to get a couple more things done before I share “phase 1.” But as a teaser, I’ve painted and rearranged. One of the main pieces of furniture that I moved was my desk. I had it angled and […]

I remember being in junior high (?) when I heard my aunt Geri refer to “Harriet.” The context was such that I asked her “who” that was. She told me that it was her car – Harriet the Honda. She always named her cars. I thought that was pretty cool and thus started naming mine. […]
Read moreA Good Read
I just finished reading The Perfectly Imperfect Home by Deborah Needleman. I got my copy from the library. There was a waiting list, but it was worth it. I have long been a fan of hers – she was editor in chief of Domino magazine. The book has some great info and tips for the […]
Room to Breathe
Something I’ve wanted to do since almost the first day we moved in here has been accomplished! I finally changed out the HUGE mirror above our fireplace for something more suitable. I just didn’t like how big it was. It made for a challenge in decorating the mantle. You don’t always want everything to be […]
New 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 […]

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 […]
Read moreShut the Front Door!
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 […]

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 […]
