Trucking right along! I'm drilling down on bedding for the guest room, using some basics I already have and filling in the gaps as economically as possible. Fun! Especially since it involved a trip to HomeGoods, armed with a 2 gift cards I've been hoarding for a while. I picked up a few things for the beds, but also found these... My wheels have been turning about the wall decor for this room and I'm planning on using a few things … [Read more...]

March 22, 2013 by · 8 Comments
Howdy hoo! Still working on my re-entry from our trip... :-P. Man, this has been a looooong week, but a happy good one. Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday with 14 Little People, my fabulous fellow teachers, and my family. If you ever want to feel like a total ROCK STAR, celebrate your birthday with preschoolers. :) March is also my blog's 3rd birthday! I can't believe it's been so long, but it's been an amazing fulfilling … [Read more...]
Scott’s Success and some Friday Eye Candy
February 15, 2013 by · 6 Comments
Last Friday a girlfriend and I trekked down to Scott's Antique Market on the south side of Atlanta. It's one of those have-your-eyes-wide-open-and-comfy-shoes-on experiences, if you've never been! I was VERY good, honoring my No Spend Month, and only snagging a few things for the booth. But I got lots of inspiration, too. Here's pics of a few things that inspired me. Sorry for the iPhone pics! Pillows galore... check out all the … [Read more...]
DIY Baby Spoon Display {Ugly Duckling Dining Room}
August 15, 2012 by · 15 Comments
I am totally in love with my baby spoon display in my dining room, so I thought I'd share the "how to!" It all started with these small racks I found thrifting with Charity a few weeks ago... They were $2 each and I got them for 20% off -- $6 for the four of them. :-) I've also gotten in the habit of trolling the hobby stores framing department for frames on clearance... especially open frames. Many were custom orders … [Read more...]

August 13, 2012 by · 14 Comments
Time for another update on my Ugly Duckling Dining Room as part of our Blogging Without Borders challenge! And this dining room is indeed having its Season of Change! I'm in mid-stream on two major projects for the space, with a third about to ramp up this weekend -- yikes!

Happy Friday, friends! It's been a crazy week -- one of those weeks where everyone needed me for something as we prep for back-to-college/school around here. Gosh I hope I get it together in the next week or so! Anyhoo, today is all about the DEAL. Who doesn't love a good deal-- especially for wall decor?? I came across this deal a few weeks ago on Decor Steals (formerly WUSLU)... I could not have imagined a more perfect … [Read more...]
Looky What I Found {Antique Map of the South}
June 27, 2012 by · 16 Comments
Well, I'm still sorting out all the great information I got at Haven and having fun visiting the blogs of the ladies I met -- so much talent out there in the blogosphere! But a busy household waits for no one, so I'm getting hardly anything a few things done around here, too. And I was thrilled when my latest purchase from Decor Steals (formerly WUSLU) showed up on my doorstep! I love maps. They just speak of journeys and memories. … [Read more...]
Looky What I Found… {Faceless Angels}
April 13, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Today seems like a great day to share one of my favorite new acquisitions. I picked this painting up in a little shop in Montgomery, Alabama while visiting a dear friend a couple of months ago. The artist is Donnie Sasser and he calls this one of his "Faceless Angel" paintings. There were many to choose from, but I loved the scale of this one. Ha ha, I've actually moved it (during a recent "tweaking" session), but … [Read more...]

I was all set to share some new Catalog Finds with y'all (love all the fresh new catalogs arriving in my mailbox!) but I was stopped in my tracks by One King's Lane this morning. Heard of OKL?? One of my favorite online decor sales sites. While their beautiful wares don't always fit into my budget, this morning I found two lovely pieces I couldn't leave behind. And her big sister... What I love? The round shape, … [Read more...]
