One of the things I really like about the barndo is the size of the window sills. At the Seymour house, they were the standard size. Allowing only a couple inches of space, they were barely big enough to place one of those single bulb candle lights there -- and still...

yesterday’s snow was a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10
As I worked upstairs yesterday, the snow was coming down like crazy. Sideways even! It was ASNutiful but just didn't last long enough. In addition, it didn't stick and it was windy. I'm still waiting on a "real" snow! Ready for whatever comes next. The upstairs is...
i want this room… or i would until i had it
You ever look at photos of home decor and think you'd LOVE to do the same thing? That's what I thought when I saw this... What caught my eye was the coffee table. I LOVE it. I love the pillows on the couch and the throw that ties together with the greenery. On closer...
i’ve never had one of these before and it’s a staple of most homes
I know this is crazy, but I've never before owned a hall tree. In the past, company would throw their coats down on furniture or I'd offer to take their coats and sweaters only to toss them across a bed. So dumb since it's not like a huge purchase or anything. Old...
ruggable update and christmas is in da house
First, if you read my post about my awful ruggable.com rug experience here on mycountyroad.com, you now need to read how they changed that -- making me a loyal customer on whatifitdid.com. To summarize, they sent another rug and pad that are both the right size, and...
my ruggable rug disappointment
If I would've purchased ruggable.com's oversized rug first, I would've never owned another one. I'm not thrilled with the result! After purchasing a rug pad on the cheap that didn't work with the new rug I ordered, I spent the money to get the actual pad that is...
i screwed up trying to save money… arg!
First, and most importantly, my poor mamma is still under the weather. COVID hit her hard and although she was feeling better for a time, it's back (or something is) with a vengeance. She sees the doctor in the morning and I'm sure hoping there's something that can be...
our old house in the city is up for grabs
Just a little over a year ago, we sold the house in Seymour. Today, the buyers are wanting to be sellers. It's a GREAT house -- I'm not sure why they'd want to move already. They bumped the price... but I don't see how it's enough to cover all the changes they made --...
floor dye – half is half done
Started the dye process this morning and half of the room is half done. So far, it's turning out exactly like I expected it would. You can read more about the process on whatifitdid.com. It will be a few more days before everything is finished. Drying overnight...
