Endings
May 23, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Hello, gang! I'm so chock full of emotions these days, I can't even find words right now. Those of you that have had crazy times of endings know what I'm saying... My guests have begun arriving, the party prep is ongoing, and tomorrow, this handsome guy will close out a chapter in his life (where did the time go???). I also said "goodbye" to my Little Ones yesterday, after a crazy gratifying emotional roller coaster of a day with … [Read more...]
Guest Room Reveal (Everything but the drapes…)
May 20, 2013 by · 20 Comments
Anyone got a fire extinguisher handy?? I could swear my hair is on fire, the way I've been running like a crazy person! Today will be a short post -- and probably the only post of the week due to work and my son's graduation with an onslaught of grandparents, aunts, and boomerang kiddos. I promise I'll share more photos with you soon, along with sources, DIYs, and the whole nine yards, but for today, here's a peek at my guest room that is … [Read more...]
DIY Burlap Moss Vases {a Dollar Store Project}
May 17, 2013 by · 10 Comments
I love the Dollar Store. A brand new one just opened up near my house and I could get lost finding great deals in there. It was my first stop when I was preparing for my preschool Moms' Tea -- on the hunt for those simple glass cylinder vases. I had a vision for this project... These were a big hit with my moms, especially since three of them got to take one home. :) Here's the how-to! Supplies you'll need: glass cylinder … [Read more...]
3 Simple (and Inexpensive) Graduation Decorations
May 15, 2013 by · 3 Comments
Graduations are brutal on the budget! I've been through a few and in preparation for my son's graduation in 9 short days, I revisited the decorations I made on a dime for my daughter's graduation two years ago. In doing so, I thought I'd share them in case some of you are in the same boat I am! Old Time Pottery, WalMart, and Target were my best friend as I pulled these together! Our high school colors are black and gold, so check out … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday {ASCP Graphite Table}
May 13, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! Only 7 more school days for me with kiddos and then a work day and then --- graduation time! Fortunately, my head cold didn't hang around too long (thank you, Airborne and Alka Seltzer Plus!), and I managed to make some major headway finishing up the guest room so it should be ready to share late this week. I also tackled the garage (with some teenage help) and though it's … [Read more...]

Celebrating our Moms {Preschool Moms’ Tea}
May 10, 2013 by · 9 Comments
I'm still alive, with a nasty head cold to show for my crazy week. But yesterday was a sweet and special day at the preschool, when we hosted our moms for our annual Moms' Tea. It was simple fare of cupcakes, tea, and coffee, but they enjoyed taking it all in. The brown books are scrapbooks of art projects from the school year -- one for each month -- plus a couple of sweet little Q & As … [Read more...]
More Guest Room Progress :)
May 8, 2013 by · 5 Comments
This week will probably kill me. Just letting you know... and before it totally gets away from me, I wanted to show you MORE progress in the guest room (plus do a little thinking-out-loud to you!). I finished up that thrifted lamp makeover and got her situated on the dresser. Now that I'm pulling the room together slowly, I'm thinking of leaving the dresser as is for now -- maybe just switching out the hardware? I like the color in … [Read more...]
Guest Room Lighting
May 6, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Happy Monday, y'all. After a rainy weekend of getting things done, I feel a little better about my To Do List, but there's still much to do in the coming weeks. We finally got graduation announcements for my son in the mail, brought my daughter (and all her STUFF!) home from UGA, and ticked off several things I needed to do for school. I was hoping to get more done on the guest room, but ran out of time. Boo. Even though the weather didn't … [Read more...]
