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...]
This ‘n That Monday
February 17, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Monday? I have been all off my schedule and routine with our snow days last week, furlough days at the end of the week, and now a holiday. While I've enjoyed the time off, it hasn't felt like a real 'vacation' so I've bumbled around from project to project, watching the Olympic games way too much, and finding myself a little at loose ends. And so, on we go... I can't even imagine the mess that my lesson plans will be this week! #yikes I … [Read more...]
January Recap {In Case You Missed It}
February 3, 2014 by · 3 Comments
February?? Wow... not sure how that happened. For a month that's supposed be of the "slowing down" sort that I love, January sure sped by. We had such an enjoyable weekend and I cooked up a storm for our little Super Bowl party yesterday. Got a new crock pot recipe to share soon, so stay tuned! I was looking back at my posts last month and while there were definitely projects, there was lots of "other"... thoughts, goals, reads. That's my … [Read more...]
DIY Heart Canvas

Well, I caved a little on my "no decorating for Valentine's Day" stance over the weekend. You see, I had a vision. Does that ever happen to you? And my paint brushes were beckoning. And, after all, didn't I say that painting more was on my personal goals list for 2014? So I got a little bit busy. :) I already had everything on hand for this project (yay!) and this Christmas inspiration piece had been tickling my mind for a couple … [Read more...]
I <3 You...

T.G.I.F. What. a. week. Parent conferences are not for the faint of heart, I have to say. Maybe someday I can document all the interesting challenges I run across with parents, but for now -- God gives me the weekends to regroup. :) We are in the deep freeze here in the Deep South... and while I know you hardy folks from Northern parts think we are big wimps. when you're used to January temps in the 50's and not the teens it's quite a … [Read more...]

My Winter Mantel {2013}
January 9, 2013 by · 9 Comments
Confession: I did my winter mantel three days before I took down and put away all the Christmas decor. Once the stockings were emptied, I was so impatient... so I just cast them aside, along with my Santa canvas and the berry garland and got busy! If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that a trip to Trader Joe's jump-started the whole thing...I mean, who can resist a bouquet of seven creamy white roses with eucalyptus for only … [Read more...]
New Additions
February 6, 2012 by · 4 Comments
Remember when I said how much I loved my winter decor? I mean, I l-0-v-e-d the look. Famous last words because I'm a perpetual tweaker. :) And a few new additions have me loving my winter look even more. I posted about my One Kings Lane finds a few weeks ago. Well, when they arrived I could hardly contain my excitement. And promptly added them to the mix in the family room. Recognize the round vintage botanical? How awesome is … [Read more...]
Fresh for Winter
January 25, 2012 by · 8 Comments
I'm loving my winter decor this year! Last year, I just couldn't seem to hit it exactly right, though that could have been attributed to being in the midst of a somewhat daunting Refresh the Family Room project. Truth be told, THAT project is still on-going (still need things like slipcovers and a fresh crop of wall art), but I feel like I am much closer to truly enjoying my space. Yay for progress!! You've already seen my … [Read more...]
More Winter Decor {Family Room Pillows}
January 20, 2012 by · 2 Comments
It goes on and on, doesn't it? Refreshing decor, I mean. And I'll be crushed the day I'm no longer inspired to keep changing things up! One of my latest tweaks to the family room (part of a year-long refresh project, I might add) are some fabulous new pillows. The brown beast is hard sometimes to freshen up, but this year I got incredibly lucky! Kim from Savvy Southern Style was hosting a Pillows by Dezign giveaway back in … [Read more...]
