    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier October 31, 2020April 14, 2023

    Do you ever have one of those days where you are just pooped and resting is the only option? Well, that was me last Saturday with the exception of a long work out at the gym. The day was overcast and must be a drop in barometric pressure, as I didn’t feel like doing anything!…

    Spooky Dinner Party

    ByMary Crozier October 27, 2020November 19, 2022

    Earlier this month, I was lamenting a bit about not decorating for Halloween. After all, half the fun doing it for many years was due to the childrens’ excitement.

But this year is so different than all others. Between the pandemic and the fact that we no longer have small children that…

    Hidden Storage in Front Hall

    ByMary Crozier October 4, 2020October 6, 2020

    Upon entering our front hall, you see our grand staircase and an antique petticoat table. But tucked in behind the mirrored table, is a wainscoting panel, just to the left of the door to the powder room. Several months after we purchased the house, we discovered that this panel is not permanently fixed, but slides…
