    Updating a Utility Hallway~from Cluttered to Clean

    ByMary Crozier July 31, 2024August 1, 2024

    The area between our laundry/utility room and kitchen, is also an access path to the 3-car garage. As you can imagine, it is a dumping ground for just about everything. When no one knows where to put something, it typically gets placed here. Because we are spending much more time at our cabin, I am…

    Setting the Christmas Dinner Table

    ByMary Crozier December 22, 2022December 18, 2024

    For some reason it never occurred to me to set a dinner table days before an event. While visiting my friend, I noticed her Thanksgiving table all set a week before turkey day. It was a light bulb moment for me. I typically (and with stress) set the table on the same day. Ever since…
