Howdy hoo, everyone and TGIF! Today I'm taking part in a dealer workshop for my new booth space and then it's on to a jam-packed weekend.

I first came across Kelly's blog last winter and I've been an email subscriber ever since... she is one thrifty, creative gal that I would LOVE to … [Read more...]

Boo Y’all {Painted Porch Planter}
September 26, 2012 by · 22 Comments
A few months ago, I scored a set of four painted distressed rectangular planters and I had an idea (or two) mulling around in my head. They're lovely, but I thought how fun it would be to paint a different message on each of them to greet visitors that happen to come to my front door. Last weekend, I decided to tackle one with a fun fall message: Boo Y'all. 'Cuz that's what we say here in Georgia. :) This one is a warm creamy color, … [Read more...]
My Fall Mantel
September 24, 2012 by · 23 Comments
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend -- the FIRST weekend of fall! I'm feeling it now... cool breezes, the angle of the sun has changed a bit, a handful of leaves beginning to change (and fall). I even picked up a couple of (real) pumpkins at WalMart yesterday! Before I get to my fall mantel, I have to crow a bit about my DIY Mirrored Pumpkin feature over at Crafty Scrappy Happy's Happy Hour Features! Go check it out and check out all the … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Friday
September 21, 2012 by · 4 Comments
What a week. All I can say is T.G.I.F. My Little Crazies at school have been exactly that -- CRAZY. I'm not sure what it is about this group, but my assistant and I have had a hard time reining them in. Makes for some very loooooong days and a lot of evenings of being completely spent and brain-dead. Not good for creative juices! It's pretty clear most of my creativity will have to happen on the weekends this year! This weekend I'm … [Read more...]
DIY Mirrored Pumpkin {Neutral Fall Table Details}
September 20, 2012 by · 25 Comments
I'm so enjoying this touch of fall in my newly painted and decorated dining room! The traditional fall colors just wouldn't feel right in this space, so I broke out my white ceramic pumpkin I bought at Target several years ago, and a spray-painted dollar store pumpkin I shared last fall. I added in some silk ivy on my silver footed tray and the French sheet music candles I made for Valentine's Day. The vellum has a beautiful warm creamy … [Read more...]
Neutral Fall Tablescape

Whew, a busy weekend... tailgating in Athens and taking in the UGA game (Go Dawgs!). If you follow me on Instagram (heidiopia), you were treated to all kinds of pics from the fun! Thank goodness for a gorgeous late summer day... and tickets in the club level seating. :-) Sunday I finally got motivated to bring a little fall into my home and I created a neutral fall tablescape in the dining room. A girl's gotta start somewhere, … [Read more...]
Embracing Fall…
September 14, 2012 by · 7 Comments
It's tough to get on the pumpkin bandwagon when I'm still sporting bermuda shorts, flip flops, and sunscreen to the preschool. This week we've a bit of relief from the heat and some gorgeous 80 degree days with breezes... that's how fall eases into the South, y'all. And now I'm seeing Halloween posts and fall tablescapes all over blogland... and I STILL can't quite get there! I'm not seeing oranges or golds for my fall decorating this … [Read more...]
DIY Stencil Drapes {Royal Design Studio Stencil Review}
September 12, 2012 by · 14 Comments
Though it's hard to pick a favorite project in my Ugly Duckling dining room, I think the project that made the biggest difference in my space is my drapes... After living with simple blinds for soooo long, I was completely unprepared with how finished these drapes make my space feel! And this project had a ton of bang for the buck! Here's how it came about... It all started when I went to Haven. I was so thrilled to receive a … [Read more...]
