Hi friends! I hope you're enjoying a great week... we've got spring creeping in here and I spent most of last weekend knocking out my painting projects. Confession: that bed was a beast!! My back is still stiff from endless crouching and contorting my body to get those posts properly painted. It's amazing how much better it looks, though! Here's the before... I used Farmhouse Paint in Cotton White... it's a nice crisp white. Not too … [Read more...]

TGIF, friends! Thank you for all your sweet comments about Legacy yesterday... it's been amazing to watch God work and I look forward to the day I can share fully my testimony!

March 10, 2016 by · 5 Comments
Good Thursday to you, friends! Popping back in today with a couple of painting projects I've been working on this week. The weather has been perfect to get a few things done so that's been my focus. But first, I wanted to share a note about Legacy with you. As I've been writing that story out, it's been very healing for me and helpful in terms of processing what happened. If you've been following along, you might already realize that … [Read more...]
I Can’t Resist: Kate Marker Interiors
March 7, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Hey there, friends! Monday again... yikes! We enjoyed the most gorgeous weekend here in GA. The hubs and I headed down to my in-laws' and got a few outdoor projects done for them. It felt awesome to be out in the sunshine... and we are pre-pollen-explosion so we were basking in that, too. It's a short window of time before the pollen gets bad, so I jacked up my own list of outdoor to-dos for this week as well. Gotta make hay while the sun … [Read more...]
Home Goals 2016
February 29, 2016 by · 4 Comments
Better late than never, y'all! I've been working on these gradually over the last several weeks and it's finally time to share. I call them my "goals" because inevitably something more urgent will pop up and consume time and resources to addresses. Last year the majority of my home goals went untouched due to Legacy, so some of these will ring a bell. But I do think it's worth it to think through what I'd like to update and accomplish … [Read more...]
I Can’t Resist: Oriental Rugs in the Kitchen
February 24, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hey there, friends! It's been a busy week for Legacy and RAIN RAIN RAIN for days, so a painting project I'd hoped to share isn't quite share-able today. BUT... I did want to share a design idea I just can't quit these days... oriental rugs in the kitchen. I was first intrigued with this a few years back when I spotted this image on Joan's blog for the love of a house... for the love of a house Which, by the way, if you don't follow … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday

Hey there! I hope your week is off to a great start! I'm still trying to figure out where the weekend went... I spent some time relaxing, watching TV and reading, whipped up a couple of chalkboard projects for the booth, and enjoyed a FUN girls' night out/sleep over with some dear old friends. I intended to spend time shredding paperwork in my home office, but that seemed like no fun... and didn't get done. :) And this morning it's rainy … [Read more...]
Simple Winter Mantel

Good Wednesday, friends! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's and President's Day weekend! We're on winter break this week... well, my high school senior is on winter break. :) It's business as usual for the rest of us! We're weathering the winter chill so I thought I'd share my winter mantel with you today. After I took down my Christmas mantel, I was craving something very simple and natural. And that's exactly where my mantel ended … [Read more...]
