I had something else planned for today's post, but life got in the way over the weekend and it's not quite ready to roll. Instead, I thought I'd share a few gorgeous purple rooms, in light of my home office redo that's in progress. I've purchased all of my fabrics and even got a deal on the purple velvet for the throw pillows {courtesy of the remnant bin}. They wait patiently...And I've settled on a smaller chair for the space, … [Read more...]

Door Bucket Love…and a Giveaway!
March 9, 2011 by · 11 Comments
One of the easiest ways to brighten up for spring is on the front door. Your front door sets the tone for welcoming friends and family into your home. Make it beautiful, welcoming, and friendly!

Did you know they recently teamed up with Traditional Home to do a living room makeover for one lucky family? And did you know they’ve also … [Read more...]
My Purple Room {Home Office Update}
March 4, 2011 by · 4 Comments
I've searched high and low for an image of the inspiration room for my purple home office. I don't know where mine got off to, but it certainly wasn't digital! It dates back to the '90s when I visited one of the Southern Living Idea Houses with my mother... the year was 1995, because I remember leaving two babies at home with dad and grandad while Mom and I went galavanting around Georgia on a girls' outing. :) Funny how you … [Read more...]

March 1, 2011 by · 1 Comment
Dear Friends,Welcome to my Blogiversay! When I started this blog a year ago, I did not have a clear vision of what my goals were for this space.

Little did I know that this was the start of a great adventure and that I would not only cross paths with creative geniuses … [Read more...]
