I'm having a hard time believing we're in July now! My summer is flying by... and I really want it to just sllllooooowwww down a bit! We were on the go in a major way last month, but I still squeezed in quite a few projects. Hopefully I can get to even more in July -- and there are some fun things in store here on the blog in the next few weeks! In the meantime, here's a recap of June here at Decor & More... 1.

DIY Burlap Flag Bunting
June 10, 2013 by · 15 Comments
Good morning, friends! I actually had a fairly relaxing weekend and am ready to enjoy another busy week -- how about you? I spent time with my kids and a sweet neighbor poolside, got workouts in both days, enjoyed catching up on some reading and blogs, and worked on finishing up the console table. Last night we took in two kids for the night while their parents finished up moving out of their house and into an executive apartment while they … [Read more...]

Hey there... I'm jetting off to NYC with my daughter for a GIRLS' WEEKEND with my her and my BFF today! Is there anything better during the Christmas season? I'll be sure to share some pics and if you follow me on Instagram (heidiopia), I'm sure you'll see a few, too. :) This week I've been wrapping gifts like a crazy woman. All of my family is in Texas or Arizona, so the gifts had to go out this week and I was a busy beaver wrapping and … [Read more...]

December 11, 2012 by · 7 Comments
It was quite the birthday weekend for the hubs up at the lake, and now, of course, I'm feeling behind the eight ball just a bit! My daughter and I take off for NYC right after school on Thursday, so all my to-dos for the next several days need to be checked off by the time I leave for work on Thursday morning... yikes! Anyhow, over Thanksgiving I worked on this little sheet music project and thought I'd share it with you along with a peek at … [Read more...]
Christmas in the Family Room

Hello, friends, and Happy Friday! Today I am shopping with 13 Little Crazies at our schools Winter Wonderland Gift Shop... this is what I call a mixed blessing! I will be utterly wrung out by 2pm, but this day always blesses my heart and feeds my Christmas spirit somehow. I'll share a few pics next week. The hubs and I are headed immediately afterward to the lake to celebrate his 54th birthday with good friends, a lot of food, fires in the … [Read more...]
My Christmas Mantel (for now!)
December 5, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Hi gang! Remember when I mentioned that my house was almost completely decorated? Well, that's because I reserve the right to tweak. :-) Decorating a mantel is a lot like writing a paper -- you've got your ideas and you sort of loosely compile them. Then you slap together a rough draft that has all the pertinent ideas, and might even have flashes of brilliance, but needs fine tuning. Then you edit and rewrite. And you might edit and … [Read more...]

Shop Small!! Let the Games Begin…

Happy Black Friday, friends!! I will NOT be braving the malls today... in fact, I rarely brave the malls anymore. We're traveling and enjoying family and some football -- my favorite way to spend a fall holiday! Tomorrow is Shop Small Saturday, a day when we can all support our small businesses. As a small business owner, I am thrilled to see American Express and our communities once again recognizing the importance of small business in … [Read more...]
DIY Cushy Pumpkin {Fall Decor}
November 15, 2012 by · 9 Comments
I've already confessed I'm ready to decorate for Christmas. But I'm restraining myself! While I've got some Christmas crafts a-rockin', I have one more fall project to share with you-- my DIY cushy pumpkin. This is a fun and super simple project... and isn't it cute? I've whipped out a few of these while watching a football game, so it's not particularly time-consuming, once you've assembled what you need: fabric (I use lightweight … [Read more...]
