Finding peace
How is it the middle of September already?! The summer of this crazy year has come and gone. The golf clubs have been put away, no one is swimming in the pool anymore and you can smell Fall in the air. So it’s time to get back at it. I’ve worked my way to the…

Painting Palooza
So I thought I should show the finished bathroom, for those of you holding your breath. Before the “big reveal”, though, I thought I’d also update you on my painting progress. For the moment, painting has moved outside until the carpet is installed in the family room. There is movement there, however, it’s happening in…

The Challenge!
Here’s the challenge I gave myself: Transform my home without any structural or flooring changes. In addition, I have to work with the main pieces of furniture I currently have with a goal to reducing rather than increasing the items in my home. It seems very daunting, right? And in this current time when I…

I’m a thrift store shopper with an eye for unusual vintage pieces and they fit in perfectly with this decor. The trick is to not overload…

New Year, New Digs!
Wow! Where did the time go? You’d think being locked down, isolated in our homes the time would drag, but it’s been anything but for us. I took a break over the holidays, however, after a quiet Christmas and New Year I’m back at it, transforming our home. The first thing I wanted to tackle…

Tile (part 2)
In part 1 I painted the porcelain tile of my tub surround. Next came walls and trim and finally … the ceramic tile floor. The sad, beige, mid-80’s tile was great when the bearded guy bought and installed it all on his own. And even better was the WHITE grout he used …. IN THE…

Tile (part 1)
I have to say that I am so glad people have realized that keeping the (almost) permanent fixtures neutral is the way to go. Things like flooring and tile. We have been in our home for about 38 years and have lived through many decorating styles. It was built in the early 1970s when the…

Hello!
HELLO! … and welcome to Sing Little Sparrow. I bet you are wondering what Sing Little Sparrow is all about. For starters, it is a business where I sell handmade baby quilts and accessories.
