TGIF, friends! This week has kicked my hiney, with the time change and my work load! I'm ready to SLEEP IN a bit this weekend if I can. We're trekking through the repainting process of my home and still looking at some exterior refreshes, but we're slowly making progress. #goals Today I wanted to share another decor trend in 2017 and this one is a favorite. Yes, it's also a holdover from 2016, but I think it will continue to have legs for … [Read more...]

Well, a few days got away from me and here we are into February! Yikes! If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I broke away for a girls' weekend at the beach and got the bonus fun of celebrating a dear old friend's 50th birthday at the same time. It was a good time and now it's back to cold/rainy/busy days here at home. :) I've got a list of posts for y'all coming in the next few weeks, but thought I'd flash back to January today, just … [Read more...]

In honor of my No Spend Month I'd thought I'd touch on the Pantone color of the year... emerald green! After all it's the color of money, no? ;-) It was catching my eye back in December when I fell prey to this lovely in the aisles of Target. In my defense, my kitchen rug was literally falling apart and I knew a beautiful antique rug wasn't going to be in my budget for quite some time. But $17.99? THAT I could do. By the way, these … [Read more...]
A Kitchen Preview and Something Cool
April 4, 2012 by · 14 Comments
I've officially lost my mind when I decide to repaint my kitchen during my week off. The week when I'm all alone and could be antiquing, reading, lounging on my back deck, chatting on the phone with friends, starting happy hour at 5 sharp. You know -- vacation??? But instead, I got the grandiose notion that this was the perfect time for me to repaint the kitchen. Granted, the Tuscan gold is 12 years old. And the woodwork is all dinged … [Read more...]
