Hi, My Friends,Happy Mother's Day. How are you? I hope you are doing well.I thought I'd share an update and some pictures from our East Texas weekend house. Did you notice the Texas flag? That is a new one. One of the questions I asked on the day of the showing was. "What is the deal with this soil?" I didn't get a good answer. The soil here is very sandy. It's called sugar sand by our next door neighbor because it sticks to everything. We've been better about tracking it into the house. We have indoor and outdoor shoes. The soil here is a deep layer of light colored sand over a clay subsoil. Grass will mitigate the effects of the...

With warmth and sun-filled days on the horizon—at least in the Northern Hemisphere—and your mini oasis in need of a little more playfulness,...

That’s the reason Liz Mundle had originally purchased one for her and her boyfriend’s bedroom in their Brooklyn apartment. But the cheap and semi-chunky find also created an issue: It took away precious, potential storage space. “We had a couple of under-the-bed boxes, but you could see stuff poking out on either side,” she says.
