Ok, I know January is almost over, but it took me several weeks to really refine my home goals. And they're not really refined. I'm afraid I've set some lofty goals for the home, but maybe this will be my year to get a lot accomplished. :-) Knowing me, there will be a fair amount of DIY and other decor distractions along the way, so we'll see! And here they are, in no particular order... Add drapes to the family room … [Read more...]

I Can’t Resist…An Occasional Chair
August 10, 2012 by · 10 Comments
There's just something about a simple chair. An "occasional" chair that by design and definition is a versatile furnishing in your home. I was looking through some vignettes I've pinned over the last several months and a common theme emerged...

My Thursday Gig and a Peek at the Mom Cave
August 9, 2012 by · 3 Comments
Did you know I have a regular Thursday gig? You can find me at FancyLittleThings.com every Thursday where I blog about home and garden with snippets of faith thrown in. I love my space over there, because my talented editors Aimee and Danielle come up with theme for each month. My challenge is to blog within my niche (for the most part) while addressing the theme of the month. July was "Beside Restful Waters" and I had fun with that, … [Read more...]

And because just painting isn't enough, I decided to reconfigure the … [Read more...]

My Summer Mantle {mantel}
July 6, 2012 by · 14 Comments
It's about time, right? I actually finished this up a couple of weeks ago, but am just now getting around to sharing my summer mantle. I wanted to keep this mantel simple but layered, and in keeping with a summertime and travel theme. Did I hit the mark? The painting of the little girl running in the waves is something I purchased a few years ago at a Special Olympics art auction. It reminds me of my daughter. Of course, my map … [Read more...]
