Wow, thanks for all the votes on the pretty glass drawer pulls. It appears red is the winner, with green coming in a close second. I’m going to order the reds and then I’ll re-photograph and let you know how it looks.

You know how, sometimes, you’re standing around in the shower and don’t really need the water on? Especially if you’re becoming more aware of just how precious that water is. And yet, turning the water off and back on again is sometimes just more than you’re willing to do.

Here is the coolest water-saving device we’ve [...]

I finally buckled down and cleared off the bookcase and did some organizing. Wow. This took me about an hour, to take the books off the shelves and find another place for them, clean out two of the drawers in the cabinet, and find the two dark wicker baskets which were not serving much of [...]

I found the drawer pulls! Online, at a place called House of Antique Hardware, which, by the way, also has all kinds of old-fashioned door knobs and door hardware, those little things that people used to make so they’d be pretty as well as practical.

Also I need to [...]

I vastly prefer wandering around a real, bricks-and-mortar building to look at real furniture, but sometimes doing a little on-line research doesn’t hurt. And I found a very cute-looking, very Chinisoirie-ish cabinet online at Overstock.
I kind of love it, and it’s under $300. But still, “under $300″ means “more than $200.”
Maybe I [...]
