Happy December! I have to confess I was tempted to skip my November recap today and jump straight into Christmas decorating and DIY -- this is one of my favorite times of year and I have a few cool projects in the works and loads of ideas for more. But, it didn't seem right to short-change the month of November. It was a good one! And I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to linger among your loved ones for a … [Read more...]
DIY Chevron Deer Head Wall Decor
November 7, 2014 by · 7 Comments
Well, THAT title is a mouthful, isn't it!? Happy Friday, y'all! Today I'm sharing a fun new project that has me swooning and ready to deck the halls... well, sorta. What I love about this is that you could use it year round in your decor. Think "rustic chic" for holiday and everyday. :) I spotted these unfinished wood deer heads online at Unfinished Wood Company. If you haven't heard of them, click immediately over to their website. … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed it: October
November 3, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Oh my goodness. November, y'all. Over the weekend, I had to turn my heat on and we enjoyed our first fire of the season... well, the boys and I did anyway. The hubs was off to enjoy his first weekend of hunting season. So I got my craft on in a huge way and got my booth all squared away for our Holiday Open House later this week! I'll share pics on Wednesday, but for today I'm recapping a very busy October. Just in case you missed it. I … [Read more...]

Well, what do you know? A new DIY project? Say it ain't so... If you've followed this blog long enough, you know that we are a big SEC football household. The hubs played football for Auburn, I was born and raised a Texas Aggie fan, and my daughter is a die-hard Georgia Bulldog. You can imagine what Saturdays in the fall are like for us -- so many games to watch, so many loyalties to be divided at times. But we do love our college … [Read more...]

Well, shoot, if you blinked you missed September! Or so it seemed... I had a really busy month, but was a little light on posts around here. I hope you don't mind; I have a couple more crazy weeks and then a bit of a lull for a few weeks, so I'm planning to get some major projects around my house wrapped up. Woo hoo! But here's what I DID share during September, just in case you missed it... My Director's Office makeover Feed a Crowd Taco … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, Loving, and Working On…

Hi, everyone! I was a traveling fool last week and have totally paid the price this week, both at home and at work. Isn't that the rub? Add in another bout of insomnia and it's not been a productive week. I would love to slow everything down but... during the fall? Not happening! Anyway, I had two wonderful trips, spent time with my boy and friends AND my BFF and had some very happy experiences along the way. I can't even tell you how … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {August}
September 8, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Well, the weekend flew by, didn't it?! I enjoyed some furniture painting and a little bit of crafting, but mostly got a few things ticked off my to-do list. And added some more to it! I realize it's already 8 days into September, but I thought I'd go ahead and recap August here before I got too much further behind. :) It seemed August was a month of updates, like my back deck... and my guest room. I also shared a couple of … [Read more...]
Director’s Office Makeover {a Labor of Love}
September 4, 2014 by · 4 Comments
I can't believe it's September, can you? It feels like we've already been in school forever, but I'm never quite ready to give up summer. Plus we inevitably have a heat wave in September that has you bemoaning the fact that the neighborhood pool is closed. It's one of those weird weather months around here so I'm leery to welcome fall just yet. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and love for us and my stepson. It was … [Read more...]

We had a soggy weekend here... Not a total washout, but my hopes of getting poolside were dashed by the to do list and off and on storms and showers. The upside? I got my DIY back on and finished a book. Among other productive things like back to school stuff and getting the college kids somewhat situated. So today's a great day to share some snippets of what's going on... I just finished Save the Date by Mary Kay Andrews. She's become one … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {July}:: The Insta-version
August 1, 2014 by · 1 Comment
August 1?? Oh am I fighting those end of summer blues as we get ready to start school on Monday. Boo. Even though my July turned out to be on quiet side here on the old blog, I thought in the interest of keeping up I'd go ahead and recap it for you... just in case! And just for fun, I'm throwing in Instagram photos, because they tell a most accurate story of my month. :) I shared this Waterlogue flag you can print out for your own … [Read more...]
