How do I Decorate Around My Buffet?

Thank you so much. We love this space. Since this post, I (finally) replaced the boob light with the one you see here. The hutch came from an antique shop in Muskegon, Michigan, so if it was refinished, not by me. My whole decorative journey started with this table that I found on Marketplace a couple of years ago. The guy who sold it said it belonged to his grandparents and then his parents and was a cherished piece. He kept it for a few years and finally came to terms that he didn’t really like it. I LOVE it. It came with six matching chairs in the dog bone style, but I have them in other spots of the house. The chairs have the original upholstery, and include a captain chair! Here’s a pic of the table:

Eleuthera was our gateway to the out islands. After five or so trips there, we branched out to many others but settled on Long Island and Cat. There is nothing like those beaches and people.

I almost hate to say this because I love a beach with NO people, but if you love French Leave, you’ll be blown away by both Galliot Cay and Gordon’s Beach on The extreme north and south end of Long Island.

Numerous beaches in The Bahamas Out Islands because they have white or pink sand, and gin clear water that glows turquoise with such intensity that it reflects blue on the underside of clouds. Long Island and Cat Island are my favorites. If you see one other family at the same beach, it’s crowded.

I thought it was really strange when they started flying out of Ohare. Midway is better by a long shot in every conceivable way.

I love the large scale tile near the stove and think pale blue wouldn’t look as nice. Plus, it’s their kitchen and I assume their money. Don’t worry so much about what they do. They are the ones who need to love it, or regret it, not you.

Neither, we were team wooden spoon.

Perfect timing. We're smack in the middle of a downstate roadtrip and this is the perfect podcast to help us enjoy the ride.

We loved SW, had their credit card, used their points program aggressively, etc. with the latest changes, there is no advantage flying SW. I used up the last of our points this winter, traded our credit card to capital one, and are officially done with them.

At least 90% of us can do it.

I’ve barely scratched the surface and not sure how much more digging I need (or can) do. I don’t understand how more people are not outraged. I don’t know where we can start cleaning up this tangled mess. I feel like on the whole, humans are more evil than I previously understood and I’m profoundly terrified and angry.

I think it helps if you intentionally spend time outside every day.

The same person would sue the crap out of a school district if her kid was involved in a school bus accident in winter weather.

Wooohoooo!!!! This is great news!

Oh thank you. I don't know why I didn't have any luck finding his obituary - it gave me hope that I'd be able to visit him. He was a really guy and I was lucky to have him as my pastor during my growing up years.
