Happy Friday! This week I shared a post at Mohawk Homescapes about a room of one's own (don't we all need one?). It was the perfect opportunity for me to update photos of my Mom Cave, so I thought I'd share with you all today. This space went from crowded/chaotic Grand Central Station home office to my personal oasis that I occasionally share. :) And this would be my husband's little space for when he's working … [Read more...]

Fall Mantel, a Winner, and an {in}Mercy Update
September 25, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Happy Wednesday... the first of fall! I have to confess, I was uber-ready to welcome fall this year by getting my decorating on. Much as I loved my summer mantel with its killer burlap flag bunting, I am ready to think crisp mornings, breezy leaf-drifting days, and pumpkins! And, oo la la, I love it so! The leaves haven't begun changing yet here, but I'm loving the Japanese Maple clippings in my demijohns. It will be fun to refresh … [Read more...]
The BEST Banana Bread

Good Monday, everyone and Happy Fall at last! We had a cooler weekend and it finally feels a little "fall-like" outside. Good thing since I spent a rainy Saturday (after soccer was cancelled) finishing up some fall crafts and trying my hand at a little watercoloring. Do you ever paint with watercolors? My class of Littles painted last Thursday and I was inspired to dig mine out and try a couple... very therapeutic! Sunday morning I made a … [Read more...]

**This giveaway is now closed** TGIF, friends! I'm so excited to bring you YET ANOTHER giveaway this month! You may remember last year I reviewed products from NOVICA, an online international artist marketplace that is part of the National Geographic family.

Four DIYs for Fall
September 18, 2013 by · 3 Comments
Hello friends! And Happy Hump Daaa-aayy! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I've been a pumpkin painting fool this week... some will go into my booth this weekend and some will stay right here at home. I sometimes forget how therapeutic a simple painting project can be, so even though I've been brain dead by 3pm each day, I've enjoyed sitting at my kitchen table and painting away. I'll share those soon. But today I'm sharing four … [Read more...]

Making it Count
September 13, 2013 by · 14 Comments
The beauty of having a blog -- and especially a blog as small as mine -- is that it's my space and I can write whatever I want. Granted, you might not read it if you're looking for something else that day. But I can still write it. And when I named my blog "Decor & More" I deliberately left myself that option. To write about "more" sometimes. Today is one of those days. I've made no secret of the fact that I've been … [Read more...]
DIY Monogram Photo Collage

I had one of those fun "mom" moments over the weekend when my college girl Erin sent me a pic of her latest craft project for her apartment. I guess that apple didn't fall far from the tree! I loved it so much, I thought I'd share it with you all (with her permission, of course!). It all started with this... We were so lucky to attend a book signing by Mary Kay Andrews in June and it was held at Kudzu Antiques, a fun spot to shop, … [Read more...]
Diamond Candles {A Girl’s Best Friend} & a GIVEAWAY!
September 10, 2013 by · 9 Comments
The past few months have been conflict-ridden and tough tests driven. I'm really not so great at taking time to pamper myself in little ways when things are crazy and stressful. But I'm trying to get better about that... and I'm learning that sometimes it's exactly the little things that make me feel better. So when I was contacted by Katelynn at Diamond Candles about doing a product review and giveaway, I was immediately drawn to the idea. … [Read more...]

Thank goodness it's Friday! First of all, thank you for your kind comments and encouraging words on Wednesday. I so appreciate the supportive community here and am buoyed by your thoughts and prayers. I'm looking forward to a weekend at home to rest, regroup, tick a few things off my To Do List, and take in the first two of our fall soccer games. While summer is over, I'll still be wearing shorts and sunscreen on the sidelines... and then … [Read more...]
