Hi everyone! Wouldn't you know it, the busiest time to be taking photos and my camera won't talk to my computer right now. Grrr. Fortunately, I had just finished up loading photos from my latest DIY -- a sweet burlap table runner for your casual holiday table. :) #whew I love a good stenciling project, don't you? If you follow me on Instagram, you saw a little tease the other day... I'm so lucky to work with the good folks at … [Read more...]
Christmas on the Front Porch
December 8, 2014 by · 5 Comments
Monday already? Oh did I have a fun and full weekend decking my halls... the inside of my home is still in process, but the porch? Done! I'm not sure why I wanted to put more creativity into it this year. Maybe because we'll be traveling some over Christmas and I'm simplifying my inside decorations? Anyway, after gathering some inspiration, here's where I landed... Come on up! I usually have small trees in these urns, but decided … [Read more...]
DIY Joy Banner

There's just something about the word "joy", don't you think? Three simple letters that can flood your heart and soul with the warm fuzzies. I love what it symbolizes this time of year -- waiting in great anticipation for the birth of our Savior, time spent with loved ones, preparations for festivities. Joy-full stuff, all of it. And when I scored some upholstery webbing at the Country Living Fair in October, I had this in mind from the … [Read more...]

December 3, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Hey there! Hope y'all are having a good week and getting your ho-ho-ho in tip top shape! The blogosphere is full of holiday home tours this week (tons of inspiration out there!!) and I'm still working on decking my halls. True confession -- when you're gone for Thanksgiving every year (which we are) it's hard to get a head start on full blown Christmas decorating. So I always feel a little behind, but I honestly don't stress. My halls will … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (November)
December 1, 2014 by · Leave a Comment
Happy December! I have to confess I was tempted to skip my November recap today and jump straight into Christmas decorating and DIY -- this is one of my favorite times of year and I have a few cool projects in the works and loads of ideas for more. But, it didn't seem right to short-change the month of November. It was a good one! And I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to linger among your loved ones for a … [Read more...]
Five on Friday (Black Friday Edition)
November 28, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Hello there!! Did you all survive your self-induced food coma yesterday? Oh my word... I didn't think I would. ;-) And the Aggies couldn't quite pull it out against LSU but there are more big games to come this weekend (War Eagle!). We've been in South Georgia with my in-laws and now are headed to nurse my sister-in-law post foot-surgery for a couple of days. Needless to say, I won't be out with the Black Friday crowds, but I did have … [Read more...]

I got this a few years back from a sweet little shop so I can't properly credit whomever came up with this, but we've enjoyed it many times over … [Read more...]

New Discovery: Marietta Reclamation
November 18, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Hi friends! Whew, I'm still recovering from a fun fun time in NOLA with my BFF and other assorted dear old friends. Don't you love it when you can pick up where you left off many years ago? And that may just have been the last of pretty fall weather I'll see for a while -- it's way too frigid today for November in Atlanta! And I'm fighting the urge to just crawl under my covers and call in sick. ;-) Anyway, thanks for all the sweet … [Read more...]
