    Reviving a Bistro Table and Chair Set

    ByMary Crozier January 16, 2023February 19, 2024

    Several years ago I picked up this French marble top bistro table and 2 metal chairs at a yard sale. The romantic in me envisioned sitting there with a cup of tea or a good glass of wine, just relaxing. However, this set has been on the back porch of our pool house for several…

    ByMary Crozier January 13, 2023January 15, 2023

    Happy Saturday! I must say that slowing down has really made each day this week more fulfilling and memorable. Surprisingly, I am more focused and checking many things off of my To Do list. It is time for another Saturday Meanderings where we chat about all good things this week. Final Clean Up Ninety-nine percent…

    As I write this, we are stuck at the airport in Charleston, South Carolina. Our return flight home is “delayed” creating missed connections through Dallas. Oh well, the joys of airline travel. We (the entire family)are here celebrating my husband’s birthday, which falls on December 13th. It has been a wonderful week and now it’s…

    Cleaning and Caring for Roman Shades

    ByMary Crozier November 15, 2022April 17, 2023

    With the holidays coming and the expectation of house guests, I am trying to spiff up our home with some additional cleaning tasks. In our kitchen, we have a corner of windows that overlooks the pool and the backyard. Twenty years ago, I had someone make Roman shades on each window. It dawned on me…
