That’s just the way it works I guess. With life, comes death. With the good, comes the bad. No matter what it is, there can never just be the good. Here is my story of life and death (of Jaye’s artwork), all in one weekend. I begin my Sunday story with the preparations for our […]
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m here and alive! I’m not abandoning you all this week. Just a warning though – I probably won’t be making a post for the rest of the week. I should be back Sunday with the usual programming. This week has been more than busy with getting […]
Something Borrowed, Something Bl…ack? I’ve been big on re-using old things lately. Obviously, considering my posts about all the thrift store hunting I’ve been doing One thing I’ve really wanted to do was find an old piece of furniture to make into something beautiful again. I’ve never done this before though, so I wanted the […]

Even on our first walk-through of the Would-Be Fay House, we knew that the bathrooms needed some additional lovin’ in […]
Well F is for a lot of things actually. Fruit, Fun, Fan…Fruitcake, Flamingo, Fundamental…You get my point. F is the first letter in a many everyday words. In our house though, F Is For Fay. My husbands last name and it’s connection to me is in a sea of muddy water. I never changed my […]
While thousands of Phoenicians (including my BFF, Julie) were running in the PF Changs Rock N Roll Marathon on Sunday, my Mum and I were taking part in another marathon. A thrift store shopping marathon. We set out early with our stainless steel water bottles (hydration is key), canvas bags (for all the awesome finds) […]
So I’ll warn you right now… This post is about our bedroom, not the whole upstairs. But I promise to give you plenty of eye candy for the wonderful patience you have shown me This weekend has blown the house to pieces in an attempt to get curtains up, paint our bathroom, and prepare for […]
