Re-Upholstering A Chaise

Well, hi everyone! I hope you all have had a good week; busy I'm sure! This week was focused on organizing for winter and scouting Craigslist for awesome frugal finds!


I needed a chair - a relaxing chair - for my new office and another storage cabinet or two and doors for the closet and room door. I found four glass-pane doors so two will go on the closet - it's 48 inches wide and had mirrored bi-folds before. I'll use the other two for other closets.


Here's my super duper $15 frugal find:

Office Update - New Carpeting!

Yes, I have new carpeting in the office! My apologies for the lack of kids' decor this week as we focus on trying to finish the office, open my light biz and then I can start working on re-doing my guys' rooms and bath.

5 Tips For Starting A Business & A Winner!

I am so pleased to introduce you to Tracy from Mama-press. Tracy is my guest blogger today and brings a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in starting a business - and for those who have a business, this is a great checklist.

Why talk about business on a children's decor blog? A high percentage of bloggers are blogging as a business, to complement a business or have an etsy shop. I, too, will be opening my children's lighting business shortly, as well as hold a firm belief that business is everywhere and whatever interests one has at some point they will use business skills.   Here's Tracy:

Fab Slipcover Giveaway Reminder!

How's everyone doing? Just a note note today to remind you about the really great giveaway I have going on  - and today is the LAST DAY.

Seriously, who doesn't want a new sofa WHENEVER you want? Many of us redecorate once per decade (if that) and I'm sure that if we could change the furniture in a cheaper way, we'd re-do more frequently!

Why It Takes Us A Month To Install A Storm Door

...Or longer.

I don't know how your home renovations go, but ours are chaotic and incomplete. A month ago I posted about working on our entry door here. 

We did get the outside painted, mostly, seen here, but still no storm door. We've been on a trip lately around the house.....

We discovered mold in the basement as the hub was going in and out of there to cut wood....

the bumps have been there, but now there are white spores growing that you can't see in this photo. 

This is the outside of the above photo....
