Salutations! Many of my friends on Cottage Fix are no strangers to the excitement of a gut job renovation or maybe a cosmetic remodel. But for those of you who have yet to get your feet wet and are thinking about diving in head first, I thought you might like a little peek behind the scenes of our bath remodel. And for those of you that have been in the thick of it, please feel free to laugh along with […]

I’m afraid I might start sounding like a broken record, but here it goes. I have been recovering from the flu this week, again! The minute I started to get sick, I just couldn’t believe it. I swear I was only completely well from the first bout for roughly one full day before this second round of illness settled in. As much as I was looking forward to winter this year, I’m done. I couldn’t be more over it. Anyways, […]

Happy Weekend! The cold is here on the coast of Virginia. We’re talking “get out the wool socks and light the fire people” — brrr it’s chilly. Still, the sun is shining and the air is crisp and clear, so it’s not all that bad. You’d never even know it’s freezing outside from indoors, which is where I am and plan to stay. It looks glorious looking out through the windows. So let us start with the elephant in the room […]

Salutations! I’m blogging in today with a new addition to the cottage living room and I have to say I’m quite tickled with myself over this one. I’ve been wanting, make that obsessing over, a chippy paint door. I’ve seen so many dreamy weathered beauties on the web, but only a couple while out hunting around town for treasure and chippy paint goodness. The few that I found have been marked too high for me and the likes of an […]

So here we are again fine ladies of blogland and friends that have found your way to my little corner of the world wide web, another year has passed by in a blink. The cottage is looking quite bare as I’ve been packing away baubles and glitz and dreaming of what the New Year might have in store. I have to say I’ve always found the New Year to be a little bittersweet, sort of like saying farewell to the […]

Well Cottage Fix friends, my daughter and I went down and we went down hard. I thought it might be the stress and business of the season, but really I knew it was just a bad case of a winter illness! We both got a big ole dose of that nasty flu bug that is hitting our country hard this season. This will be my second Christmas in a row stuck on the sofa missing out on some of the […]

Frosted window panes, candles gleaming inside Painted candy canes on the tree Santa’s on his way, he’s filled his sleigh with things Things for you and for me It’s that time of year when the world falls in love Every song you hear seems to say “Merry Christmas” “May your New Year dreams come true” And this song of mine in three-quarter time Wishes you and yours the same thing, too “The Christmas Waltz” was written by Sammy Cahn […]

Salutations from the little Christmas cottage on the East Coast that’s soaking in the Christmas magic and maybe running around a little like a chicken with it’s head cut off! Ya know they really do that. My mom has a story or two about my great grandmother and her farm and chickens and you see where this is going. The cottage is all decked out. I like to keep things fairly simple and the kiddos like to put out every […]
