2015 was a very good year

Pam and Kate need a serious break. So now through the end of the year, we are not looking at the blog. You can still comment — but all comments will go into moderation. We will be back online with stories and free up comments on Monday, January 4. Meanwhile, some highlights from 2015 — including several of our epic (borderline mania) series’ — for you to auld lang syne on:

beauti-vue-leadOur #1 product find for the year: Beauti-Vue retro woven wood shades that can be made from New Old Stock.
peeking-in-dollhouse-kitchenKate built a DIY Betsy McCall dollhouse. And now, we also have “The Adventures of Mini Kate, Mini Jim and Little Leo” to entertain us.
pink bathroomKate mocked up 99 ways to decorate a pink bathroom — these same decor ideas apply to any color bathroom. bathroom-decorating-graphicWe distilled our tips into a handy infographic, A Foolproof Guide to Choosing Bathroom Colors — Five Steps to Success.
midcentury-eclectic-decor-living-roomWe added seven new amazing time capsule houses to our archive (which is now over 100!) 1940s-kitchenReaders love the 1940s, so we explored the basics to create a 1940s kitchen — so far, we have four archetypes.

Have a wonderful holiday season, dear readers.
Thank you all, so very much, for another great year — our 8th!
