April 3, 2009

It’s a big day in the Spot household. These are being delivered. At long last. I’ve got a wall to paint. And bins to order. I’m on my way to the most chic laundry room on the block. Pictures to follow. For now, though, I’ve got dust bunnies to clear. Happy Friday.

July 20, 2008

Saturday was the big day.  The big shopping day that is.  I have to admit to being slightly neurotic the day before.  I spent lots of time going over your comments about where to go and what to buy.  I visited more online retail sites than I care to admit to.  I even compiled a [...]
