Spring Flower Tutorials

Spring flowers have been popping up around here for a couple of months now. I was so excited to see the pretties popping up all around our property. Every week or so, a new posy would open up. For some reason, I started snapping pics. I have no idea why. Heaven knows, I’m not a […]

Eight Painted Desk Ideas

March 18, 2014 By Colleen 8 Comments

8 Desk Ideas

When we moved into this house nine months ago I was so completely in love with having my own space, the fact that there was barely any natural light hardly bothered me. Hardly. Then when I ‘made’ my big worktable, the honeymoon continued on. But, like all romances, every once in a while you need […]

House Update – The Lower Level

September 2, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 7 Comments

My House Lower Level

As I’ve mentioned before, this house is what’s called “dual living” with nearly full accommodations in each level. Mom has the upstairs and I’m in the lower level. This isn’t to say we don’t hang out together. We do. And also eat together. But my dream of having a large studio workspace and being able […]

Two Month House Update and The List

August 28, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 5 Comments

My New House Update

I read and follow a lot of blogs, most of them ‘shelter’ or home blogs. I love seeing DIY projects that they’ve done. I like seeing room renovations and redesigns. I enjoy swoon-worthy posts that make you oooh and ahh. This, however, is not one of those. It’s been two months since we moved and […]

The “Floorplan”

July 26, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 2 Comments

My House Floorplan

Well, we’ve been here in the ‘new’ house for a month now and I’m still unpacking. Translation – I’m not ready to show off any rooms just yet. Instead, I’ll share the floorplan with you. It’s more of a hand drawn footprint, really. I suppose I could make a digital one but I just like […]

Moving Tips – Part 2 of The Epic Move

July 15, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 5 Comments

14 Moving Tips

Judging from the comments received on The Epic Move Part 1 I am not alone in my frustrations with moving and movers! Like I said before, I take full responsibility though. During the past three weeks (3?!!) I’ve had lots of time to think about what I would’ve done differently to make packing, moving and […]
