Tweet!    I am sure most of you remember this. I put new night stands in my bedroom a couple of weeks ago, and put up these charger-turned-mirrors on the walls above them. I was frustrated with the fact that my window is not centered on the wall behind the bed. You were all so [...]

Tweet!  I am so thankful for the advent of Shabby Chic into the Home Decor Genre.. Because it allows me to make lemonade when DIY projects give me lemons. Case in point I bought this computer armoire at Walmart several years ago for $99. (The glowing light between the doors is my much loved Mac Mini.) The [...]

Tweet! A few weeks ago I went on a “We have too much stuff” rampage.. I got rid of two large pieces out of my family room, and have since slacked off . Baby steps – right? The pieces I got rid of were my treadmill and our futon. One of them hadn’t been used in a [...]

Tweet! One person’s junk – is another person’s treasure… You have all heard the expression – it feels even truer now than it has in the past. The economy in the past few years has driven many to look at value and price point more carefully when it comes to purchases. And, as usually happens, [...]

Tweet! Welcome! I am excited to share this tutorial with you today. Some of you may remember that I recieved several antique pieces of furniture from my Mom a couple of months ago. The Patina Of Time One of those items was a buffet that I put in our family room. Of course then I [...]

Tweet! Welcome to The Little Brown House! I promised in my Christmas Mantle post that I would do a tutorial of the Coffee Filter trees I featured, and here it is. My first Coffee Filter project was last spring, when I made my Brown Coffee Filter Wreath I was amazed at how easy they were [...]

Tweet! I have to say – I haven’t been very fond of blue for the past few years.. During the eighties I went through a blue and mauve stage. More like an obsession, really. And after about ten years of that, I began to abhor the color. In fact, I considered therapy at one point, [...]

Tweet! When pigs fly – meaning, it will never happen. This post, as is true of most of my life, comes with a story. (steps up to podium and taps mic) Hello? My name is Sharyl Little Brown House, and I am an Ex-Longaberger Consultant.. People used to consult with me about their basket needs. [...]

Tweet! Hi! Welcome to The little brown house! This week I want to show you a couple of things I did to update our back patio. It started when I got the Pottery Barn catalog, and realized I would have to get a 2nd (3rd) mortgage to get everything I wanted! I saw these copper [...]

Tweet! Have you ever wished adults could have a time out corner? I am sure you can think of some you would like to send there! I love being sent to time out, only as an adult I send myself. I love having a spot for all my “stuff” where I can go and have [...]
