Today Annie, Mary Ann, and I are joining three other blogging friends to talk about closet organization and styling. My son and daughter-in-law bought a beautiful older house a few years ago and have been gradually restoring it.

So let's take a look ...
Five Favorites-Roses H&M & More
Happy Sunday Everyone. I hope you are having a great weekend. If the sale of our house goes through, we will be moving into a cute two-bedroom rental that we own in Salinas until we figure out what we are doing.

It all needs to be redone after years of being rented. I plan to take you along that journey with me. Many of you often ask what are ...
