This month is zooming by, can’t believe it’s already the middle of October! Are you feeling the cooler temps where you live? The leaves have really started changing color here in Ohio, and the temps have been all over the place. Definitely feeling like fall! Before we get any further into October, I wanted to […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 890th Tablescape Thursday! With Halloween just a couple of weeks away, I wanted to share a Halloween table. But I had one problem. Six ravens flew in and stole all the napkins. Yup, that’s what happened. They made off with all of them! Unfortunately, I didn’t have any other napkins that […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 872nd Metamorphosis Monday! The day you adopt a pet is the day you set yourself up for one of the future worst times of your life. After losing Max over 12 years ago, the pain was so excruciating and lasted so long (really, it never ends), I couldn’t bring myself to adopt […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 889th Tablescape Thursday! For this week’s Tablescape Thursday, I have three whimsical and beautiful tables to share that are perfect for the fall and Halloween seasons. Sue created a wonderful Halloween table for her son’s birthday using dry ice! Do you see the mist oozing its way out of the purple urns […]| Between Naps on the Porch
The Prime Day sales end today, so I’ve been checking to see if any new things have been added to sale. I’m very tempted by these Skechers that are slip-ins. I recently badly injured my left hand, so trying to tie my sneakers is a challenge right now. They look incredibly comfortable and have great […]| Between Naps on the Porch
The Prime Day sales started today, so I’ve been scoping them out to see what’s included in the sale. This is a great time to get a jump on Christmas shopping. These beautiful solar lights that I have along my walkway in Georgia are currently on sale. I love them so much, I added […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Such a beautiful small bath renovation! Love all the extras like picture molding and a gorgeous light fixture that make this space feel so special!| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 888th Tablescape Thursday! It’s been a busy week with the wallpaper installer arriving early each morning. He will be here again today, finishing up the prepping and painting of the guest bathroom walls. Then the waiting begins, as we’ll need to wait a full month to give the walls time to fully […]| Between Naps on the Porch
When I purchased the Dollhouse a little over a year ago, this is how the guest/half bath on the main floor looked. The red was striking and a fun look for a small guest bath, but not what I wanted for this space. Updating this bath has been a slow process, as I’ve been […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 870th Metamorphosis Monday! Before we get into today’s post, how about a little eye candy to start your week? Last week, I mentioned that I had once again stumbled across the sunroom where I first saw and fell in love with some pretty, scalloped-designed wicker furniture. I knew I had seen it […]| Between Naps on the Porch
Spooky, Fun Halloween Dinnerware: Great For Adults But Child-Friendly, Too| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 866th Metamorphosis Monday! I hope you are enjoying some rest this Labor Day weekend. We had a fun game day here and chowed down on City Barbecue at halftime. Georgia won 45 – 7, so that was a great game to kick off our very first game day in the movie/game room. For this week’s Met Monday, I’m sharing a new addition to my bedroom: a large dresser I put together a few weeks.| Between Naps on the Porch

Welcome to the 883rd Tablescape Thursday! Many, many years ago, I’m guessing 12-15 years ago, I came across Napoleon Bee flatware on the Neiman Marcus website. I had never seen this flatware before and was immediately smitten. That may have been around the time it was first in production, not sure. It happened to be on sale, but even on sale it was quite expensive. After it arrived, I was dismayed to find that several pieces were defective. I’ve thrown all those out now, so I don’t have...| Between Naps on the Porch
When I awoke this morning, it was 53° outside. I actually turned on the heat in my office for a few minutes to take the chill out of the air. Afterward, I pulled out one of my winter hoodies to wear. Just before turning in last night, I came across a video online where the weather guy was saying that the reason it feels like October in August in so many areas is due to an “upper-level trough coming from the Canadian Arctic, dragging polar air into the U.S.” He added that the Great Lakes ...| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 865th Metamorphosis Monday! How was your weekend? I hope it was awesome! It’s been so nice here during the day, the kind of weather that makes you want to get outside for a walk. I managed to get a walk in with family, but mostly I was inside all day Saturday and part of Sunday since I had a handyman here making 7 different repairs. Some of the repairs were small things like adding a small piece of trim in a spot where it was missing, or tightening down two of the wooden step...| Between Naps on the Porch
The weather has drastically changed here this past week. I’m sure we’ll have a few more warm days ahead, but the cooler temps the last few days and this morning mean autumn is on its way. I had a handyman here working today, and while he was hanging a door and making various repairs, I spent some time online checking out the Halloween and Fall decor. There are some super cute new things available this year! Here are some of my favorites.| Between Naps on the Porch
Welcome to the 881st Tablescape Thursday! There’s been a lot going on here at Dollhouse. You may remember the tree in my backyard that dropped a limb a while back. At that time, the tree company that removed the limb didn’t feel it necessary to remove the tree itself. Two weeks later, it dropped a much larger limb that landed in my neighbor’s yard. It didn’t land on anything, but after getting several estimates, it was recommended that it be removed. That whole area of the backyard ne...| Between Naps on the Porch
Have you been noticing all the fall, Halloween, and holiday decor that’s starting to appear in stores? I once asked about that when I was shopping in a Hobby Lobby, why they put holiday stuff out so early. They said that a lot of crafters start shopping during the summer months to be ready in time for the autumn and winter holidays. That made sense so now I don’t get so annoyed when I see those goods in the stores starting in mid-summer.| Between Naps on the Porch
