We have a lot of bears in Oregon. In fact at our Fiddle Creek property storage sheds are raided regularly and bears have been known to party in unguarded cabins, gorging themselves with what they can find in the refrigerators – kind of like teenagers.
As a child growing up in Southern California, when most kids were busy skateboarding, going to the beach or hanging up Keith Partridge posters in their bedroom, you could most likely find me re-reading a Little House book and obsessing about all things Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was the girl that actually belonged to the Laura Ingalls Wilder fan club at the local library.
Once upon a time there was a china closet that was the centerpiece in my parents living room. For 20 years it took center stage in all of its white wash oak glory. Mom had it filled with her Dutch Delft collection, Italian Capodimonte flowers and crystal and more crystal. Each collectible had a story and Mom would love to share the history of each and every piece.
his last week I have been gathering all the new decor items for my master bedroom makeover and laid everything out on my dining room table. I had a real struggle landing on the lamps I wanted for the bedside table. I absolutely loved the glass bottle lamp with the woven grass shade but I am pretty sure it's going to be much too large for the bedside tables.

We have been in our home for over 15 years. Our home was only a year old when we moved in and had all the boring vanilla builder finishes you would expect, including a minuscule 12x12 aggregate concrete backyard patio. The home only had one prior owner who’s ideas of landscaping was to bark chip half of the backyard and put up a play structure.
