OMG! I have to make one of these!
Isn’t this totally adorable? Wow! if I hadn’t vowed to give up my gingerbread house addiction, I’d make this one this year! 🙂 And if you haven’t noticed, we’re completely broke! Not without MANY MANY projects to do around the house, but without the money to complete them. I was thinking about getting an interior […]
Around the "Atomic Ranch"
If you’re a mid-century nerd, you probably subscribe to the Atomic Ranch magazine. I look forward to recieving it every other month. Most of the magazine sports VERY modern designs, but this month has a cool article on transistor radios (Rex was wondering why they don’t make I-pods in that style) and a cool follow […]
Hip house for sale in the 'hood and another site if you're shopping!
I have a new friend who writes for our local (as in neighborhood) newspaper and she turned me onto this house that’s just come up for sale. It’s near Sloan’s lake, which is a neat lake (and getting nicer all the time. I have posted another interior photos on Flickr if you’re interested (or just […]
Buzzing about doors!
The mid century houseblogger world is buzzing with the news that David from Erwin House is going to make a wonderful contribution to our favorite type of houses! We have the “madison” – at first I didn’t think he had our door…but he does! I do like our door, but I have to say, I […]
Thanks for the info on my Pom Pom Junipers!
Thanks to Big Mall Rat (Scott) for his research on my bushes. Even after I gave him a hard time for cutting his down (I do understand hazards when you can’t see out of the driveway!). I’m just thrilled to know what they are. However, I can’t answer the question about when they came into […]
Our bushes and trimmed and neat
You all may remember our bushes in front of our house: Here’s what a professional does with them. Not that I did a “bad” job, but hoo-whee, I think they look terrific like this! Anyone know what these bushes are? I tried to do a search on evergreens and bushes and can’t seem to find […]
Our dream: the "right" 50's patio cover.
Unlike a lot of my houseblogging friends, we’ve been in our house 5 and a half years now. We gutted and remodeled the kitchen and we still have several projects in the house that have stalled for practical reasons (like we need our bathrooms) or because of cash flow (we’d love a huge deck out […]
What a 1950's Bargain (or is it?)
Not having been born (or even a twinkle in my Mother’s eye) in the 1950’s, I’m not sure if this is a good price or not, but it seems phenomenal to me these days. I was particularly interested in the front of the house and 1950’s landscaping! It’s amazingly difficult to find any (if you […]
