For once, I am not behind on my TV watching! Inventing Anna just came out last week, evidently, and once I got past Julia Garner’s bizarro accent (I KNOW it’s intentional, teenage children!), I started enjoying it immensely. (That Shonda Rhimes. Such a superstar.) Plus you already know every single actor in it, which makes …
Please note, Gentle Readers, that I did not say renovate. Or even remodel. No, I said update. Renovating a bathroom (which, as you know, I have just survived) is a messy, inconvenient, time-consuming, and expensive undertaking. We’re not always up for it.

Happy New Year, Gentle Readers! A hearty ta-ta to 2020! Good riddance! Over the holiday break, my mind kept wandering back to Pantone’s Colors of the Year for 2021. So disappointing. If *I* were to name a color of the year for 2021, it would be green. Aside from the obvious associations for this particular …
Let’s talk wallpaper, Gentle Readers, shall we? When someone comes to our house, they usually say something complimentary about the wallpaper in our foyer. It’s Nina Campbell’s Paradiso, and it’s pretty dramatic. *I* love it, and my family loves it. But maybe I should say, “loveD.” Because while I still appreciate that the wallpaper is …
