Hello, friends ~ I didn't mean to be gone so long! The last couple of weeks have been doozies around here, so I've fallen behind on the old blog. But I've missed you and so I'm back. :) Today I'm sharing a recent paint project I completed and popped into my booth. Remember this little desk/dressing table I was working on a while ago? She was painted just a creamy white, but I decided to up her fun factor with some Farmhouse Paint in … [Read more...]

March 29, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
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}
March 25, 2016 by · 3 Comments
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...]

Hi friends! I hope you're enjoying a great week... we've got spring creeping in here and I spent most of last weekend knocking out my painting projects. Confession: that bed was a beast!!

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

March 10, 2016 by · 5 Comments
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.

I Can’t Resist: Kate Marker Interiors
March 7, 2016 by · 2 Comments
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...]
Home Goals 2016
February 29, 2016 by · 4 Comments
Better late than never, y'all! I've been working on these gradually over the last several weeks and it's finally time to share. I call them my "goals" because inevitably something more urgent will pop up and consume time and resources to addresses. Last year the majority of my home goals went untouched due to Legacy, so some of these will ring a bell. But I do think it's worth it to think through what I'd like to update and accomplish … [Read more...]
I Can’t Resist: Oriental Rugs in the Kitchen
February 24, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hey there, friends! It's been a busy week for Legacy and RAIN RAIN RAIN for days, so a painting project I'd hoped to share isn't quite share-able today. BUT... I did want to share a design idea I just can't quit these days... oriental rugs in the kitchen. I was first intrigued with this a few years back when I spotted this image on Joan's blog for the love of a house... for the love of a house Which, by the way, if you don't follow … [Read more...]
