I’m a bit late on Friday Finds today, but there was some good stuff on the Internet this week. Here’s a taste. The One Room Challenge wrapped up this week. I still can’t believe these people do a whole room in six weeks. I particularly liked this entry and this bedroom. Check out the amazing guest participant redos too. I so wish ...
I got my latest issue of Gardens Illustrated magazine the other day. I say “my” latest issue, because this British pub take a long time to get to a mailbox in the U.S. and I believe the next issue is already out in England. I put up with that because it’s a fantastic magazine, one that has earned shelf space ...
So last week, I signed off on Friday Finds by saying that I didn’t know what I was going to do this weekend, but that it wouldn’t be cleaning a fireplace. So imagine my surprise when, just 48 hours later, I was crawling around in a firebox doing just that. A dirty old fireplace never looked so good. Let me ...

I’ve been trying to source things for our potential bathroom remodel as I make a budget for it and over the weekend I came to the line on my spreadsheet for lighting. I started looking around in all the usual online places, trying to stay mostly in the huge lighting Internet superstores and away from Circa Lighting, where I know ...
Glad to be back for Friday Finds this week. Blogland is humming these days; it seems like autumn has everyone in the mood for some seriously creative projects. First off, if you missed my review of the most empowering yard tool I’ve ever used (which was posted late last night because of an a.m. / p.m. scheduling mistake), make sure ...
It is a big time of year for yard work. Those of us in the north know that any day could be our last opportunity to clean up the yard before snow and ice descend. And with the garden more or less minding itself at this time of year (at least until we get a good hard freeze) it is ...
