Good Friday morning, friends. First of all, I am once again heartbroken by a terrorist massacre... how many of these must we see? My thoughts and prayers are with the people of France today. I can't even begin to comment further, but I know you share my grief over this latest attack. I intended to finish up my porch this week among other things, but alas Legacy projects and meetings took precedence. There is soooo much cooking right now to … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Wednesday

Howdy! I hope you all had great Fourth of July weekend! I did a little bit of Legacy work and a whole lotta relaxing poolside with the hubs. I even managed to sleep in a bit! #holidayweekendforthewin Today I thought I'd share a little of this 'n that from the last several days. First of all, my BFF, my Girl, and I took in Emily Giffin's launch party for her new book First Comes Love. I'm a huge fan of her stories and she is so funny and … [Read more...]

Hi gang - as promised, I've made some more progress on the front porch, so I wanted to bring y'all into the loop! It's not 100 percent finished, but it's darn close! Here's our inspiration photo... And here's where we started... The biggest change we made was adding these beauties... They were on sale at Hayneedle right before our anniversary, so we decided to bite the bullet and go for it!

Summertime Mantel Update

Oh my word, was last weekend HOT and BUSY! The hubs and I had some fun together at the Steely Dan/Steve Winwood concert last night and we also celebrated my youngest' 18th birthday. #howdidthathappen We did make some progress on the front porch, but it's not quite ready to share... we ended up in the air conditioning instead. ;-) So I freshened up our mantel for summertime and thought I'd share that today. I wanted a new look this year and … [Read more...]

Happy Wednesday, y'all! This week has already gotten away from me... I knew I'd be busy this summer, but MAN! We had a minor flood in our basement storage room over the weekend so I've been sorting through that mess on top of what I already had on tap for the week. #Boo. Anyway, I'm popping in today to share what I'm reading, working on, and loving right now... A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I'd strayed from my bookish ways and had … [Read more...]
Five on Friday: Palm Print Fun
June 17, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
TGIF!! What a tragic week in the news, y'all. My heart just aches for the Orlando community -- first the Pulse shootings and then the Graves family tragedy at Disney. What has stood out to me is the reactions... sadly lacking in grace and compassion. I just keep praying for our country and the state of our hearts, y'all. Will you join me? In other news, it's been a week of meetings, phone calls, and other Legacy business -- so fun to see … [Read more...]
School Desk Makeover
June 15, 2016 by · 5 Comments
Hello, friends... before I dive into a new furniture project here, I wanted to pause and send my heartfelt condolences to the Orlando community. We're living in a scary and crazy time where it seems evil lurks at every turn. I'm saddened by the way our leaders and presidential candidates have lurched into finger-pointing and political discussions in the wake of this. Praying diligently for clear heads to prevail and for unity in our approach … [Read more...]

Howdy, friends! The hubs and I have escaped to one of our favorite spots for the weekend -- Lake Rabun... we're celebrating 10 years of marriage/blended family today! So of course, that tops the list for today's Five on Friday. :) 1. The plunge... if you didn't already know, we got married at his aunt's home on Lake Rabun and jumped off the boathouse after saying our vows. Lots of wonderful memories from that special day! In ten … [Read more...]
Refreshing the Back Deck
June 8, 2016 by · 3 Comments
We've been embracing our deck-sitting season as the weather has permitted and I'm so glad I refreshed it before graduation! I spent an entire day pressure washing... it was in dire need! And I'd hoped to get a fresh coat of stain/sealer down, but we haven't had enough days without rain yet to tackle that. Anyhoo, I decided to go ahead and plant my flowers, lay a new rug and add a bit of temporary seating for the time being. These … [Read more...]
