DIY week continues at Homage with another stop on our blog tour! The DIY Show Off is a showcase of amazing DIY projects.
As I was perusing the archives yesterday I was overcome with the urge to decorate. So I made a fall wreath for our front door out of beaded garlands. Unfortunately for G, it [...]

For our next installment of DIY Week at Homage, I’ll give you a walk-through of how I took a crappy bookcase off Craigslist and turned it into a beloved living room item. I’ve previously mentioned how I was inspired by this post by Centsational Girl, but this lovely china cabinet in K’s house brought my [...]

Sexy, isn’t it?
One of our summer projects this year was tiling the kitchen backsplash. And when I say “our” I mean “I ate twizzlers while A. grouted things.” We are a great team.
Because I spent most of the time snapping pictures, keeping the dog away from the mess, and, yes, eating twizzlers, A. has graciously [...]

Oh, how I love Rocket Dogs. Cute and affordable – what’s not to love? (As an aside, the brand name reminds me of A.’s interesting vernacular: when his feet are sore, he drawls, “Wooo boy! My dogs are barkin’!”)
Rocket Dogs and I have a history. My mother bought me my first pair in high school, and I wore [...]

It’s Thursday afternoon, lovelies! We’re almost there! Before I blow your minds with some innovative decorating techniques, let’s all send good thoughts to sweet little Murray as he is getting shots this afternoon. And to J, who has no stomach for such things. In our daily email correspondence that gets us through the endless hours of work she [...]

Today’s Homage blog tour features two of my new favorite food blogs. I love food blogs, don’t you?
These gems, Not Without Salt and Sprouted Kitchen, keep me coming back for their amazing photos and tantalizing recipes. And for some reason I am always reading them around noon. At my sad little desk. With no pretty [...]

This post was meant for yesterday, but I spent Labor Day, well, laboring on a yard project that never ends. I’ll share it with you soon, but in the meantime NEVER build a paver patio in your backyard. Trust me, you will thank me later.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall….
My bedroom has a bald spot, and I believe there is no better wall-toupe than a fancy mirror. I thought I would share some of the items I have been considering in case you have been on the hunt as well. Maybe you didn’t even know you needed such a mirror. [...]
