Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted you are here. It’s been a bit of a transition week for us. One of our kids started school. The other has another week. The school bus comes at 7:08 a.m. Between you and me, I’m not operating at peak performance levels at 7 a.m. This week on the blog I wrote about the best part of summer. I neglected to mention in that blog post that not having the school bus come at 7 a.m. is my REAL favorite part of summer. Haha! I also shared the wood acorn wreath I made. I absolutely love it and think this is a…

Hello, hello! Welcome to the Happy List. It is a pleasure to have you here. This week on the blog I shared a round up of my recent thrift store finds. I can make $100 stretch a long way when thrift store shopping. I also wrote about the reason why we’re removing tree stumps from our property now rather than later. We’ve actually had serious conversations about the order in which we remove the stumps. We’ve really been into it. Ha! Thank you for reading this blog. Thank you for sharing it with your friends. Sharing is caring! We also love talking to you. If you want to connect with…

Hello, friends! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m so glad you’re here. This week on the blog I shared a new-to-me find, bowl cozies. I love it when people solve everyday practical problems and the bowl cozy solves a good one. Speaking of practical problems, I also wrote about our new laundry line that we hung outside. I really do enjoy hanging laundry outside to dry, especially if it is convenient for me to do so. Thank you for reading this blog. Thank you for sharing it with your friends. Sharing is caring! We also love talking to you. If you want to connect with us, you can always…

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted you are here. This week on the blog I shared where I’m hiding our router and modem these days. It’s my favorite way yet that I’ve hidden those pesky but necessary devices. I also shared a blog post from the archives about idyllic moments that I’d like to remember forever. I say it every week but I mean it all the same, thank you for reading this blog and sharing it with your friends. You can’t share it enough! We also love talking to you.

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m glad you’re here because I have some fun things to share with you this week. But first! In case you missed it, this week on the blog I relayed an update on how our pool coping is doing. As a side note, it’s been raining so much in New Jersey that I feel like we haven’t had a ton of pool days yet this summer. I also shared an update on how the art in the Carriage House has changed recently. I say it every week but I mean it all the same, thank you for reading this blog and sharing it…

Hi! Welcome and thank you for joining me for today’s Happy List. This week on the blog I shared how I transformed a broken clock into the prettiest picture frame for a wedding photo. I also wrote about a current obsession of mine, hammered copper paint. I like what I like! I also like, no, LOVE it when this blog is a conversation, not a monologue.

Hell0! Welcome to this week’s Happy List! This week on the blog I shared the bench that I made over to use as an outdoor coffee table. I just need it to stop raining for five minutes so we can use it. Not that I’m complaining about getting rain. We needed it. I also wrote about the different types of lath art that exist in this beautiful world of ours. Aren’t people creative? I love seeing all the different ways that creativity manifests itself. I recently acquired some lath art that made me smile. I just need to hang it now. Thank you for all of your comments, support, likes,…

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m so happy you are here. This week on the blog I shared the story about how I remembered that we have an outlet in a place that really needs a light. I also shared how to update a plain metal door with PVC trim. It’s really pretty easy! In addition, thank you for all of your comments, support, likes, shares, etc. here and on social media.

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m absolutely thrilled that you are here. Also, happy early Father’s Day to all the dads, dads-to-be, and father figures out there. I have a fantastic dad and the picture above is me and him when I was a toddler. This week on the blog I shared 10 tips for building an outdoor ping pong table. Ours is getting used every day and I couldn’t be happier about it! We also celebrated our 4 year anniversary of buying this Colonial Farmhouse! Time flies when there’s always something to do around here. Thank you for following along on our journey. In addition, thank you…

Hi! Welcome to today’s Happy List. I’m glad you’re here. This week on the blog I shared the improvement we made to our pool deck. I love when the reality of something we build is better than the idea of the thing. That’s been the case for this section of pool deck. I also shared a very niche solution for a DIY holder for leaf skimmers and other pool maintenance tools. Interestingly enough, my niche solutions often drive the most traffic to my site from Google searches. Thank you for all of your comments, support, likes, shares, etc. here and on social media.
