Is it ever OK to kiss your contractor?
via pinterest
We're having closets and a laundry area re-configured so my place is a wreck right now. I try to clean up the work area every night, thinking the less dust and debris around, the less that will be tracked through the house. I asked the sheet rock installer when he would start sanding (so I could be prepared).
"Oh, I don't sand, " he said.
So, I'm thinking, 'Ugh. Gotta get another person to finish his job.' Until he added...
"I sponge. With a damp sponge. Makes much less mess."
I'm thinking a big ole kiss on the mouth might be in order.

light gray kitchen cabinets
via pinterest
I waffle between sophisticated and casual for a kitchen. The plain door fronts and mixed hardware on these light gray cabinets really feel cozy. Toss in the art and the marble, and, well, I'm done.
Don't know what this particular cabinet color is, but it's similar to BM Gray Owl (OC-52), which I have kinda picked as the cabinet color for my eventual kitchen over haul.
My thanks to Binnie Klein of WPKN FM Radio, Bridgeport CT, for featuring me on Thursday's edition of "Home Work." Binnie is a fellow gray lover and her segment "Gray Matters" was so much fun. Binnie, good luck finding your "perfect gray" cabinet color!

undecorating
Oh, it's so hard to take down those holiday decorations. Do you feel the same way? A little sparkle and glitter would go a long way towards getting me through the cold winter months...
But I've found something else to help me through:
Andy Newcom's light and antique-filled house as featured in:
Yeah. I think I'm gonna make it, folks.
This might just work for you, too.

from me to you
St. Anthony at Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome
(Thanks to my readers for identifying this statue)
When we travelled to Rome a few years ago, we saw many wonderful sights, but nothing we saw was more moving than this prayer-covered statue.
I don't remember exactly where it's located because I forgot to write it down.
The breath-taking sight of all the hopes and wishes of so many unknown folks is one of my most treasured memories from our trip.
I am thankful for each of you; for your visits and comments.
I wish you all health and happiness during the holidays and always.
love,
donna

friends I've never met
Douglas Friedman
Today I'm dreaming of going to a place I've never been
to be with friends I've never met.
We'll meet at a little rustic cabin on a hillside.
My room might just look something like this.
It will be the perfect little get-away
during a hectic time of year...

Monday goodness
I bet this is Kate and Andy Spade's home. Does anyone know?
Eclectic art, gray walls, and a great mix of fabrics.
The red trim on the love seat sings, doesn't it?
