I like flea markets and power tools, parties and pillows. I’m a mommy and a decorator, and a diehard DIYer. Join me and my little family as we renovate our Brooklyn Heights brownstone with lots of love and plenty of elbow grease.
Thank you all so much for all the love and continued support you've shown Jenny throughout the years. You all mean a lot to our family.

Update on Jenny
Hi, guys. On Saturday Jenny was admitted to the ICU for tetanus poisoning. She is hanging in there and getting a little better each day but could use your good thoughts and prayers right now. She thinks she'll be back and at it in no time, but we appreciate your patience and support while the realities of the situation play out. I'm sure she'll want to post an update as soon as she can in the next couple of days. I assume it will include a PSA on keeping your tetanus boosters up to date!
Thank you all so much for all the love and continued support you've shown Jenny throughout the years. You all mean a lot to our family.

Jenny is such a talent and inspiration, my prayers go out to her for a quick and healthy recovery. Thank you for the update Michael.
Get well Jenny!
I'm so sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you and I wish you a very speedy recovery!
Omg, Michael. Hope you and the girls are doing ok and that Jenny is hanging in there! Sending you guys all of my love.
I hope this makes for a (maybe?) funny footnote in Jenny's future "home remodel" book.
Feel better soon, Jenny! xx
Get well soon Jenny!
Tell her to get plenty of rest! Prayers for a smooth recovery!
I'd been missing her this week and had actually wondered if something was wrong. I'm so sorry to hear that's the case and hope that she's on the mend and feeling well soon!
All the best.
Well, that's no fun, poor love! Feel better soon.
Oh my goodness -- get well soon, Jenny (and hang in there, Komendas).
What??!! Oh no! Best healing wishes to you Miss Jenny!!
Oh my! That yard work?! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Stick to Interior design, Jenny, it's a sign!!!
Get well soon, Jenny!
Hoping for the best for you and your family:)
My thoughts are with you guys. Here's to a safe and speedy recovery. And some good weather for Jenny to recover and relax on her gorgeous back patio.
Thank you for letting us know - our prayers are with your whole family. Get better soon, Jenny!!
Get well soon!
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be holding good thoughts for Jenny's recovery and for you and the girls during what must be a scary and challenging time. Please let Jenny know that her loyal readers love her enough wait very patiently for her healthy return. Don't rush; just get better. We'll be here.
Get well soon!
How scary! I was just recently thinking that we all run out and get a tetanus booster if we injure ourselves with rusty metal, but I have never actually known of someone getting tetanus. Jenny is definitely in our prayers, along with you and the girls. I don't take the time to read too many blogs anymore, but Jenny, yours is one of my favorites. Wishing for a speedy recovery!
I also wondered if something had gone wrong! Ahh, the odd closeness of a blogger and the readers that love them. Sending prayers her way. Thank you for updating us Michael, it is so appreciated.
Sending positive energy for a swift recovery. So sorry this happened to you!
Big huge thoughts and prayers for healing.
I hope you get better soon!!! My prayers are with you and your family
Prayers for your family.
Saying a prayer for quick recovery!
Thank you for updating us, Michael. LGN is my first read each morning and when Jenny is absent for a few days, it definitely sends up a red flag (though usually it means she's deep in an upholstery project). I'm sure the stay in the ICU was incredibly scary for the family (is she out of the ICU at this point?). Sending good thoughts your way.
Prayers for you Jenny!

Sending prayers and positive thoughts up the East coast from D.C. to your family. I'm hoping her recovery is speedy and that the girls aren't traumatized from mom being gone away at the hospital. Hopefully your 'ward family' is being helpful.
Oh my gosh, how awful! I will be keeping you in my prayers Jenny, and hope that your recovery will be speedy.
Oh dear, What? If I know Jenny like I know Jenny (from blogging) nothing will stop her....surely she will find some diy's to keep herself busy while she is there....
I am posting a post to Jenny! Let's all show LGN some love.
Speedy recovery!

How scary! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I was just beginning to worry this morning. I'm glad it's nothing worse and I hope it gets resolved as soon as possible. It's probably been a good thing for her to get some rest somehow. I always wonder how she keeps that crazy wonderful pace of hers. She has our permission to slow down and take care of the most important things for as long as she needs to get well!
Happy Thoughts and Well Wishes from CA.....
I'm so sorry! Wishing you a speedy recovery, Jenny. Maria
Sending prayers for a speedy recovery!
Get better soon Jenny! Really, you don't have to stab yourself with rusty nails to impress us- is this what you call extreme makeover?
Above all else, including pretty decor, is health. Jenny, I hope you on your way to a speedy recovery!
Oh no...sending positive thoughts and vibes your way!
No matter your belief system, it can't hurt to send good thoughts for rapid recovery into the universe. To you and the girls, hang in there until she's home and bustling about again!
Re: tetanus boosters, http://www.in.gov/isdh/files/PowerOf10.pdf
I never usually comment but I guess this is a good time to tell you how much I love reading your blog. It is my number 1 favorite and I check to see if there is a new post everyday! Not only do I love reading about the projects you do and seeing pictures that you post but the way you write is just lovely. Hope you are feeling better ASAP and love to your girls. ox

And here I was disappointed that there were no new blog posts yesterday and today. I feel so bad for you, Jenny. I am so sorry for what you are going through and hope you get well soon.
Thanks for letting us know, Michael. I know it's not technically our business but we appreciate being kept in the loop as we do all cheer emphatically for Jenny and her incredible work! Somehow she feels like a friend and we're all going to keep Jenny, you and the girls in our prayers over the next few days.
Get well soon, Jenny !! Thanks for the update Michael.
Get well soon Jenny! I'm so sorry! We love you and hope you're back soon!
wishing you well Jenny! your blog is one i cannot live without!
Just read MIchael's post- what the?? Hope you are on the mend, my friend. Reminds me of the time you had pneumonia and if I remember correctly you taught Joy School that week and I finally heard you were sick at all when you were super super sick. Next its going to be something like, "Hey Christine, I had malaria but I'm fine now, no biggie. Got that couch recovered while I recovered (har har har)"
Its the pits to be so horribly sick when you're mom, and wife, and decorator extraordinaire. I really will keep you in my prayers this week (and the next few) while you climb back up on top of everything. But give yourself a break and don't climb too fast. :)
You're amazing. I love you! Feel better!
Feel better soon, Jenny!!!
Praying and sending love from the blogosphere! Feel better soon Jenny.

I'm one of those anonymous Mom's that read your blog every morning. I don't have a blog, but just find inspiration on how you design and care for your family. I'm so sorry to read your sick and hope you take the time you need to get well. We will be here when you return.
All the best
Prayers to you and your family Jenny!! Get well soon!
Oh no! So sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon!

Hope you recover quickly, Jenny! I would say if you need help w/ your kids, let me know but the drive from NC might be quite the commute :)
Get well soon, Jenny! My prayers are with you and your family as you deal with this "unscheduled break." :)
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Jenny! In the meantime, enjoy that view!

Yikes!! Sorry to read this post, and wishing an extremely speedy recovery!
Sending you positive thoughts! I stepped on a drill a couple of weeks ago (working on a DIY project) and wondered if my shots were up to date--I guess they were. Here's to a speedy recovery.
So sad - wish we still lived nearby and could take the kids or bring you dinner! Prayers and love from California...

Hoping you feel better soon!
Get well soon!!!!!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Jenny. I'm like the other folks who wondered if everything was allright after a few days of not posting. I am curious how this happened. Last fall I was reupholstering a Victorian chair and poked myself a few times with some of the rusty tacks. I worriedly asked my husband if I should get a tetanus shot and he said I was crazy. Maybe I wasn't being paranoid. Perhaps this will result in a little education for all of us.
I have been following the blog for awhile and admire Jenny's style! I hope she gets well very soon!
Oh no! Thank you for the update. I JUST got a tetanus shot this week for stepping on a rusty nail. Hope you feel better very soon; I'll pray for you!
Get well soon Jenny!
Get well soon Jenny. I'm sending you good thoughts for a quick recovery. I love your blog.~Brigitte
