I can't believe we're already at the end of January! I survived all those parent conferences, but did not accomplish everything I'd hoped to do on the home front. Oh well -- there's always February, right? ;-) So here are my favorite things for January... I think it's a pretty good list. :) 1. Atlanta Bloggers get-togethers. I was sooooo lucky this month! Our Atlanta bloggers met up for lunch and a business meeting in Woodstock, GA … [Read more...]

Home Goals 2013 {Finally!}
January 25, 2013 by · 9 Comments
Ok, I know January is almost over, but it took me several weeks to really refine my home goals. And they're not really refined. I'm afraid I've set some lofty goals for the home, but maybe this will be my year to get a lot accomplished. :-) Knowing me, there will be a fair amount of DIY and other decor distractions along the way, so we'll see! And here they are, in no particular order... Add drapes to the family room … [Read more...]

January 24, 2013 by · 5 Comments
Did you catch this amazing blue houndstooth gift wrap I scored at HomeGoods? I mean, it's adorable right? I think I would be crushed to see this wadded up and discarded once a gift is opened, so the odds of this actually being used for gift wrap are slim. So what to do with it? Well, it'll figure in with this beauty... Mmm, mmm, mmm! I think they play nicely together, don't you? So I jumped on Pinterest to scrounge up … [Read more...]

Looking Back (a 2012 Review)
January 13, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Looking back is not my strong suit. :) I'm a proponent of moving on, pressing ahead, not looking back. But 2012 was a year of growth and change for Decor & More, and many of you are new around here...so I think it's fitting that I do a little review of last year's projects and progress. In January, I did a little thrifting, some organization, and added some art work to my Mom Cave. I also created this easy little moss … [Read more...]
My Winter Mantel {2013}
January 9, 2013 by · 9 Comments
Confession: I did my winter mantel three days before I took down and put away all the Christmas decor. Once the stockings were emptied, I was so impatient... so I just cast them aside, along with my Santa canvas and the berry garland and got busy! If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that a trip to Trader Joe's jump-started the whole thing...I mean, who can resist a bouquet of seven creamy white roses with eucalyptus for only … [Read more...]
