Happy Monday, friends! Whew -- what HAPPENED to the weekend?? Seems like I blinked and it was gone... BUT I finished up several projects I'll be sharing with y'all soon. Woo hoo! Throughout the week I was working on a silent auction item for my youngest son's youth group. They're fundraising for their pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal this July (jealous much?). So I put together a fun spring home decor arrangement... Remember my No … [Read more...]
Sponsor Love and A Last Chance…
February 20, 2013 by · 6 Comments
Howdy hoo, friends... ever notice how a short week can seem like a really looooonnnng week? Lots of juggling going on here, but I am making some progress on a few DIYs I can't wait to share with y'all. Today I wanted to give a little sponsor shout out since February is all about love... Have you met Aimee from byAimee.com? She is the creative design guru that brought Decor & More to life for me! I "met" her online a few years … [Read more...]
It’s the Armoire’s Fault… Among Other Things
February 19, 2013 by · 11 Comments
Well, you know what they say about the road to you-know-where... I had high hopes in the DIY department. I mean REALLY high hopes. I had a holiday weekend staring me in the face, with the hubs out of town, and DIY supplies galore at my fingertips. And then the armoire sold. This mac daddy armoire in my booth space. And then a couple of hours later, this bench sold... And there were big gaping holes in my booth. So I … [Read more...]
Scott’s Success and some Friday Eye Candy
February 15, 2013 by · 6 Comments
Last Friday a girlfriend and I trekked down to Scott's Antique Market on the south side of Atlanta. It's one of those have-your-eyes-wide-open-and-comfy-shoes-on experiences, if you've never been! I was VERY good, honoring my No Spend Month, and only snagging a few things for the booth. But I got lots of inspiration, too. Here's pics of a few things that inspired me. Sorry for the iPhone pics! Pillows galore... check out all the … [Read more...]
Easy Valentine Treat
February 13, 2013 by · 3 Comments
Oh, rain, rain, go away... I am in serious need of some sunshine, even if it's of the COLD variety! We've had so many gray, rainy days lately, it's taking a toll on me. I live in the South, for heaven's sake, not the Pacific Northwest! Last weekend, I caught up on some Valentine treat-making, so I thought I'd share it here today, to chase those rainy day blues away! Anyone else cheered by a sweet and salty treat?? This is as easy as … [Read more...]
A New Fave {Antibes Green}
February 11, 2013 by · 11 Comments
Happy Monday, friends! It's stormy and rainy here in Atlanta, so I've got something to brighten your day. I've been itching to try Annie Sloan's Antibes green for weeks. I finally realized I had the perfect small piece right under my nose, just waiting to become a pop of glorious color. Don't you love it when that happens? I scored this little chair for $4 when I bought the matching dresser for $25. The dresser became the French Linen … [Read more...]
TGIF… headed to Scott’s. :)
February 8, 2013 by · 6 Comments
Well, I was hoping to have a couple of projects finished, photographed, and ready to share today. Not quite. :) Wax is drying, burlap is cut/staged/ready, lampshade is poised for her makeover. But it was a crazy week on the home front and at school, so I got nothin'. In fact, I took a nap when I got home from school yesterday. It was that kind of week. This should be a banner weekend for those 90% projects, though, so I'll have some … [Read more...]
Seeing Green
February 6, 2013 by · 8 Comments
In honor of my No Spend Month I'd thought I'd touch on the Pantone color of the year... emerald green! After all it's the color of money, no? ;-) It was catching my eye back in December when I fell prey to this lovely in the aisles of Target. In my defense, my kitchen rug was literally falling apart and I knew a beautiful antique rug wasn't going to be in my budget for quite some time. But $17.99? THAT I could do. By the way, these … [Read more...]
A February Challenge

Hi gang! Hope you had a lovely weekend. We enjoyed some nice cold weather here (and you know I like that!) but had some sunshine along with it. Winning! If you missed my interview with Laura from Top This Top That, click here to be totally inspired today! Last week, I mentioned that February was to be a month of DIYs. I didn't do many in January... too busy on the home front. But February is looking good for one big reason. I hereby … [Read more...]
