Monday, already? I actually had a pretty low key weekend and am feeling on the downside of my head cold so fingers crossed that it's behind me! I did get a few things done around the house and that's always a good feeling. :) One of the things on my list was to put my dining room "back together." I may not have shared that last May my parents loaded up our family piano and drove it to Austin for my older sister, who is experiencing a … [Read more...]
Five on Friday

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...]
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...]

Happy MLK Day, friends... I hope you are off today, snuggled in with a cup of coffee or tea and enjoying yourself! I've been taking advantage of the long weekend in a big way... catching up on Legacy to-do's, working on reorganizing my office, reading, and even sneaking in a nap or two. I'm still kind of low energy after my illness, so I've found I still need a little extra rest. Let's hope it's not habit forming. :) Speaking of when I was … [Read more...]

Oh my word, December is FLYING by, isn't it? I'm scurrying around this week, working on Legacy, finishing up my decorating, and trying to get some packages shipped off, my Christmas cards are mocking me from the kitchen table... bet your list looks the same!! I meant to get this post up over the weekend, but we were at the lake for my hub's birthday and there wasn't a whole lotta anything that got done... other than eating, making merry, and … [Read more...]
New Furniture Project: Two Tone Buffet-Secretary
August 10, 2015 by · Leave a Comment
Monday again? My weekend just flew by, but it was a good one -- a little poolside time, finishing a good book, furniture painting, movie night with my girl, and last night -- Steely Dan, y'all! It was about 100 degrees outside for the concert, but those guys can still groove! What fun and now it's striving to find some routine and a massive to-do list. :) I'm finally getting around to sharing a furniture makeover I did a couple of weeks … [Read more...]
New Discovery: Marietta Reclamation

Hi friends! Whew, I'm still recovering from a fun fun time in NOLA with my BFF and other assorted dear old friends. Don't you love it when you can pick up where you left off many years ago? And that may just have been the last of pretty fall weather I'll see for a while -- it's way too frigid today for November in Atlanta! And I'm fighting the urge to just crawl under my covers and call in sick. ;-) Anyway, thanks for all the sweet … [Read more...]
A Peek at My Booth…

Hi everyone! I hope you all took the time to get out and VOTE yesterday! Here in ATL, our schools were closed for the day so I got a bonus day at home to get some things done after voting... and if you follow me on Instagram, you saw I ended up shoe shopping, too. Oops. ;-) #sorrynotsorry I ended up with some to. die. for. smokey taupe wedges. Thank goodness for a BFF that was available by text to seal the deal. :) And how did we ever shop … [Read more...]

Holy smokes, y'all... tomorrow is November! Yowza! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I had a busy week with the Little Ones -- Halloween is so much fun for them I always feel like I'm along for their ride, at least for a couple of days. :) Anyway, I enjoyed sharing a little randomness last Friday, so I'm thinking every so often I'll offer up a Five on Friday post, just for fun. I've been back on my painting and DIY'ing horse this … [Read more...]
