To bury my head in the sand and avoid my One Room Challenge mess, I'm sharing with you all of the Beautiful Distractions I've found. Room For Tuesday rounded up a bunch of fantastic white ceiling fans that don't suck...which is not an easy feat. If you're searching for one. Hop on over and start shopping. Life on Virginia Street ro[...]
Holy Hannah! How has it already been a week? Time is flyin', so I guess that means we've been hard at work on the One Room Challenge. In case you missed the debut post, you can get all the deets and a peek at the mood boards on ORC Week 1 here. Present state of the space — The Boy ripped the carpet out, and we have a clean slate! Check[...]
I don't know about you, but I live in slide sandals during the summer. Granted nowadays during life in covid, buying a new pair of shoes isn't all that necessary, but they do make me happy even if I'm only wearing them for a quick run to the mailbox, grocery store, or a walk around in the backyard. Oh and can't forget to wear them for so[...]
ERMERGERD! Did you hear? I’m a featured designer in the Spring One Room Challenge and couldn’t be more excited about it. I’ve participated in the ORC twice as a guest participant…the first was my home office in the old house. When I look back five years ago, I srsly ask myself, what on earth were you thinking?[...]

If you've passed my beginner's TikTok tutorial and are ready to take the next step into seamlessly stitching together multiple clips into one video in TikTok, you're in the right spot. Are you mystified by how these 14-year ol[...]
The mix of scrolling Facebook and the COVID-19 coop up has caused me (and many others) a lot of anxiety. All the fighting and speculation. I’d had it. But there were a few choice Facebook Friends that were making me laugh. One gentleman in particular really raised the bar when it came to posting. His name Scott Wostal...we went to high[...]
It's Monday, and today I'm tending to my sunburned legs. I did a whoopsie, and my non-sunscreened legs soaked up the rays while I was cleaning up the patio. Ouchies. Won't make that mistake again. Anyhoo, while my feet are up, I thought I'd pop in real quick for another edition of Beautiful Distractions! Tomorrow, I'll be going live o[...]
Welcome back to our regularly scheduled home decor program. Remember last Thursday when I said I was working on what's trending this year for patio and outdoor garden decor — I didn't forget, and I finally finished an epic roundup. First off, let's look at a few new-to-me patio and outdoor decor companies. Then scroll down to the round[...]
Today's post was supposed to be about pretty outdoor home decor to zhush up your patio, but all that changed when I read that the Payroll Protection Program (PPP Loans) funding designed to help small businesses during the COVID-19 crisis has run out of money. This is not a democrat versus republican post, but rather an open letter to our[...]
