Spring Mantel and Some Easter Thoughts

I started this post yesterday, but life got in the way so here we are today!  And it's high time I share my spring mantel with you.  You got a sneak peek of it when I shared my DIY twig cross last week.  I've had this mantel in place for a couple of weeks now and love it!  But as you know... things are always subject to change around here. :) This time around I wanted a mix of metals and wood tones,  and just an overall fresh feeling.  I … [Read more...]

DIY Twig Cross {Easy Easter Craft}

Hello, friends!  I didn't mean to be MIA all week, but I've had some busy days following my beach getaway weekend, and my Lenten discipline of staying offline in the evenings has me running behind a bit. :)  I'll discuss more about that next week, but today I wanted to share a super easy DIY for Easter. You probably have everything you need for this right at home!  I simply gathered some twigs from my yard, pulled out my garden snips and … [Read more...]

I used Farmhouse Paint in Cotton White... it's a nice crisp white.  Not too … [Read more...]

TGIF, friends! Thank you for all your sweet comments about Legacy yesterday... it's been amazing to watch God work and I look forward to the day I can share fully my testimony!  I'm finding the month of March flying by and my "to do" list growing by the day... how about you??  I've made good progress on my paint projects in the spare time (?) so I'll share more on those soon.

Project Sneak Peeks and a Note About Legacy

Good Thursday to you, friends!  Popping back in today with a couple of painting projects I've been working on this week.  The weather has been perfect to get a few things done so that's been my focus.  But first, I wanted to share a note about Legacy with you. As I've been writing that story out, it's been very healing for me and helpful in terms of processing what happened.  If you've been following along, you might already realize that … [Read more...]

I Can’t Resist: Kate Marker Interiors

Hey there, friends!  Monday again... yikes!  We enjoyed the most gorgeous weekend here in GA.  The hubs and I headed down to my in-laws' and got a few outdoor projects done for them.  It felt awesome to be out in the sunshine... and we are pre-pollen-explosion so we were basking in that, too.  It's a short window of time before the pollen gets bad, so I jacked up my own list of outdoor to-dos for this week as well.  Gotta make hay while the sun … [Read more...]
