Cottage Hill

 
Okay, I'm overwhelmed.  I'm working on a really big project and it's sucking the life out of me.  But, like a bad penny -- I'll be back...
for sure!!!

I started the "shake-up" today with the bookcase in our TV room.  It was a pretty simple project and only took a few minutes to gather enough family photos to completely fill one of the shelves. 
It could have been boring (family photos on a shelf in the TV room -- it doesn't take a genius) but I think I avoided that by layering the pictures and stacking them against the back of the bookcase.  Fourteen of them. ...

I spend loads of time in this room -- a smallish bedroom near the kitchen (thank goodness) turned TV room.  It's where I watch Netflex and the news and where I kick off my shoes and prop up my feet as well as my "pretend" office, where I blog and...

My husband and I drink perked coffee.  No fancy Starbucks brew for us.  We take ours the old-fashioned way. 
So, we were really irked this morning when our second new percolator in less than two years bit the dust. Fifty-six dollars, times two, down the drain.  They sure don't make 'em like they used to....
