Real Working Kitchen
Now this is a serious cook's kitchen. I love the use of an old workbench as a kitchen counter. No kitchen designer was involved either.
Hedgehog Portrait
Isn't this the best photo of a hedgehog you've ever seen? Click here to see it much larger. So cute.

Nice Art Wall
This is a very nicely displayed set of bookcases and artwork. I love black with gray and white. via
The Cat Pushed Me
"The cat didn't want to get her paws muddy so she walked on my back. See how clean she is? Honestly, I was just trying to help. I can't remember, did you put in the mud room before or after you got me? Want a kiss?"
Sail Away Wallpaper
As seen in a powder room that also serves as a dressing room near the pool. I'm not a sailor but I love nautical themes. my iPhone photo
Ducky Fireplace

I like the bird tiles surrounding this fireplace. My iPhone photo was taken on the fly at an open house yesterday. The original owners must have been birders.

Spring Views thru My iPhone Lens
Today was a lovely day and I went to a realtor open house that had a fabulous view. Snapped with my iPhone.
When I got to the bottom of the steep hill where the house was located, I took a closer view of the barn with a blue roof. Spring has arrived in New Jersey!
Jessica The Hippo -- She's A House Pet
Please promise me you will watch this heart warming video about a coffee-drinking hippo in South Africa named Jessica.
Click here to watch it on YouTube if it doesn't show up for you in my post. I always tuck in my animals at night but I honestly can't imagine tucking in a hippo. Her nighttime routine will definitely make you smile.

Woodchipped Garden Path
I simply must spread my pile of woodchips to keep down the weeds near my front entrance. This garden inside and outside the picket fence is fabulous, isn't it? via
Deck Decor
Have you started getting ready for outdoor living yet? I have worked on the deck floor of my balcony for the past three days and it's looking better. This one looks perfect, doesn't it? via
Mine will look better as the sun bleaches it daily. I still have to clean the furniture.

16th Century Book Wheel
For centuries men have been trying to perfect a ways to read multiple books. Is this the eBook Reader of the 1700s? Epic fail because you have to sit in one place to peruse articles. More about Captain Agostino Ramelli's contraption here.
Beautiful Day in Edinburgh Scotland
It looks like spring in Edinburgh in this photo. Wish I were there!!! via
Architectural Artifact from My Collection
This zinc urn was once on a dormer in Newark NJ. A gentleman nearby said his father got it from a building that was being demolished. It was just sitting in a junk pile in his back yard. One day on my way to the post office, I stopped and knocked on his door to ask if I could buy it. He said yes and it's been in my junk pile ever since. Not really, it's in a boxwood garden. my iPhone photo

Tiny wildflowers in the woods
If you didn't do a fall cleanup and wait too long in the spring, this is what will happen. Aren't these tiny flowers charming? via
Portrait of a Succulent
An old photo from my phone from last summer. I think I have probably published it before and here it is again. I still love it. Have a great weekend.
