Woo hoo -- I had such a nice treat on Saturday when I joined Rhoda from Southern Hospitality and about 50 other gals and guy (yes, one) at a local HomeGoods store for a before-hours party!! What a fun event... there was a lovely light breakfast spread (yay for coffee at 8am on a Saturday!) and our hostess with the mostess... We were told we would each have a HomeGoods gift card to jump start our shopping, but first we played a … [Read more...]

Looking Back (a 2012 Review)
January 13, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Looking back is not my strong suit. :) I'm a proponent of moving on, pressing ahead, not looking back. But 2012 was a year of growth and change for Decor & More, and many of you are new around here...so I think it's fitting that I do a little review of last year's projects and progress. In January, I did a little thrifting, some organization, and added some art work to my Mom Cave. I also created this easy little moss … [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...]
Four Happy Things
January 7, 2013 by · 11 Comments
I found myself down in the dumps about going back to work this week... not a good way to start a new semester! Maybe it was that I was sick for a good chunk of my break. Maybe because we were on the go non-stop until Saturday and I was missing that chance to take a breath. Maybe I'm a tad burned out. At any rate, I figured I'd post four things that make me happy today... like warm and fuzzy on the inside happy. How 'bout it? 1. My NEW … [Read more...]
2013…The Word?
January 4, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Hello everyone and Happy 2013! We're back from the beach and I'm digging out from under Christmas decorations, new calendars, bills awaiting, and laundry. Ah, re-entry. I'll be catching up on my email and blog reading this weekend, so if I've neglected your comments or recent posts, I apologize. I was under-the-weather a good part of our trip and didn't read as much as I'd thought I would -- lots of sleeping in, chillin' in Gulf breezes, and … [Read more...]
NYC at Christmastime
December 31, 2012 by · 7 Comments
Hi there! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by those you love! My family has scattered and the hubs and I are enjoying some (much needed) R & R at the beach for New Year's. I can't wait to share some photos of our adventurous Christmas soon! But as we head into the New Year, I thought I would share some from my trip to NYC with my daughter. The trip started as a reward for all her hard work, but turned into a rockin' … [Read more...]
