I've been home so little recently it feels awesome to be catching up on some things around the house... you shoulda seen the stack of mail/paperwork I plowed through on Monday! I don't know why, but fall always seems to fly by and so I'm working extra hard to savor these couple of weeks of sweet weather and a bit of time to enjoy my house. And probably some furniture painting, too. :) I refreshed the dough bowl on my coffee table with a mix … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday
October 19, 2015 by · Leave a Comment
Hi friends... Well, I checked out again for a bit, but I'm back! I spent 10 days in Texas with my family at the beginning of October, taking in some Texas Aggie football and then trekking to Amarillo to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. It was such sweet family time... And so then, when I got back, I had to hit the ground running for Legacy (more on that this week). And so while I intended to post last week, life got in … [Read more...]

Fresh Fall Mantel
October 1, 2015 by · 1 Comment
Hello, friends and Happy first of October! It's beginning to look a bit like fall around here, so I wanted to share my fresh fall mantel with you today. For some reason, I always begin my fall decorating on the mantel and then the rest of the house follows... The tweed pumpkin came from the dollar bins at Target (I know, right?); white pitcher is from Decor Steals, small Dollar Store pumpkins are chalkpainted; the leaf watercolor … [Read more...]
What’s Inspiring Me for Fall…
September 29, 2015 by · 2 Comments
Well, it's back to early fall after enjoying a week at the beach with my high school senior for his fall break. And true to form, it's been gray, rainy, misty, and cool ever since we got home! But now that I had my last gasp of summer, I'm ready to fully embrace fall -- changing leaves, cozy decor and all. The week before I left, the blogosphere was full of fall home tours and I found loads of inspiration sifting through all the posts. I'll … [Read more...]
Ready for Fall?
September 8, 2015 by · 3 Comments
Hello, friends! I hope you all had a super Labor Day weekend... we spent some good time chilling on our deck and watching football (woo hoo!!) and a little US Open tennis. So nice to recharge at home this year. I'm usually a little of a hold-out when it comes to fall... I just adore summer and everything that goes along with it! But this year I think I'm actually kind of ready for fall. Maybe because Labor Day fell a little later? Maybe … [Read more...]

I shared my favorite Fourth of July projects and recipes from years past, along with this … [Read more...]
New Furniture Project: Two Tone Buffet-Secretary
August 10, 2015 by · Leave a Comment
Monday again? My weekend just flew by, but it was a good one -- a little poolside time, finishing a good book, furniture painting, movie night with my girl, and last night -- Steely Dan, y'all! It was about 100 degrees outside for the concert, but those guys can still groove! What fun and now it's striving to find some routine and a massive to-do list. :) I'm finally getting around to sharing a furniture makeover I did a couple of weeks … [Read more...]
