Well, we're experiencing some technical difficulties with our Inspiring Blogger Interview, so I'll bring that to you as soon as everything is resolved. :-P Hate it when modern technology doesn't cooperate don't you? Maybe the fact that yesterday was National Backwards Day (did you know??) has something to do with it! As a Friday "happy," I have the honor today of being a Featured Blogger over at Fancy Little Things today! I was a regular … [Read more...]

January 31, 2013 by · 3 Comments
I can't believe we're already at the end of January! I survived all those parent conferences, but did not accomplish everything I'd hoped to do on the home front. Oh well -- there's always February, right? ;-) So here are my favorite things for January... I think it's a pretty good list. :) 1. Atlanta Bloggers get-togethers. I was sooooo lucky this month!

January 25, 2013 by · 9 Comments
Ok, I know January is almost over, but it took me several weeks to really refine my home goals. And they're not really refined. I'm afraid I've set some lofty goals for the home, but maybe this will be my year to get a lot accomplished. :-) Knowing me, there will be a fair amount of DIY and other decor distractions along the way, so we'll see! And here they are, in no particular order... Add drapes to the family room … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Decorate with Cute Gift Wrap
January 24, 2013 by · 5 Comments
Did you catch this amazing blue houndstooth gift wrap I scored at HomeGoods? I mean, it's adorable right? I think I would be crushed to see this wadded up and discarded once a gift is opened, so the odds of this actually being used for gift wrap are slim. So what to do with it? Well, it'll figure in with this beauty... Mmm, mmm, mmm! I think they play nicely together, don't you? So I jumped on Pinterest to scrounge up … [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...]
