Hi gang! I'm lovin' my new space here at Decor & More, so thought a celebration was in order! But first, I have to share my fall porch before Halloween has come and gone and we're hanging Christmas garlands. :) Sorry for the afternoon sun-- I can only photograph after work! Keeping it somewhat simple this year... A couple of Home Depot mums, Home Depot crotons (on sale!), one large cabbage... A couple of Cinderella … [Read more...]
The Mom Cave {Sneak Peek}
October 26, 2011 by · 9 Comments
Oh, my gosh, I thought I would never finish the paint job in the Mom Cave, but it's D.O.N.E. I didn't think through this very well and ended up doing a lot more cutting in than I needed to, but... we're movin' on and putting the furniture back in place! Here was the purplicious-ness herself before: I love this shade of purple, but it was time for a change. I have to admit, when I started covering it up, I felt a few twinges of what am … [Read more...]

October 24, 2011 by · 14 Comments
I've been up to my elbows in the beast of a paint job that is my Mom Cave all weekend. For a while there, I thought I'd bitten off more than I can chew -- all the picture moldings, chair rail, plus the dark purple paint... it's been quite the project! But, man, is it looking good!! Can't wait to show you soon... In the meantime, I thought I'd share my easy tutorial on the burlap runner from my Fall tablescape. I picked up a yard … [Read more...]
Fall Tablescape {the details}
October 21, 2011 by · 6 Comments
Because you know my dining room can't stay this way indefinitely, here's the scoop on my tablescape! Remember my beloved Willow House Royal Street Urn? Can't get enough of her. The fleur de lis speaks my language. :) Click HERE to get yours! The sticks are straight out of my backyard, after a storm. I let them dry out in the garage for a couple of weeks so no critters would make their way into the house. Then I just added a couple of … [Read more...]
Welcome and a Fall Tablescape
October 19, 2011 by · 25 Comments
Hello, friends! I'm so thrilled with my new space here at Decor & More! This was quite the process coming over to WordPress and having my own domain name ~ I've learned a lot along the way and feel like I'm finally in a space that's reflective of me and my goals. My dear friend Aimee of byaimee.com has been infinitely patient with this 40-something that's a tad tech-challenged. And she's churned out a gorgeous header and new logo. … [Read more...]
Easy Peasy Candy Corn Treat
October 12, 2011 by · 11 Comments
It's my turn to cook lunch for the teachers at the preschool today and one of my tasks is dessert. I almost went to my faithful Texas Sheet Cake (yum!) but thought it would be fun to try an easy candy corn treat instead. I make a Christmas treat we call Reindeer Food that uses almond bark, pretzles, chex cereal or Cheerios, and red and green M&M's. I was wondering if I could do a variation of that with candy corn since we're lovers of … [Read more...]
Passion for Peacocks?

Monday again? We had a super busy weekend with sports and my daughter home from UGA for the weekend (woo hoo!), so not a lot of progress was made on my project list. But it was good family time and the list is certainly not going anywhere. I did work a little towards my fall tablescape I'll be sharing soon, though. :)So for today, I wanted to get your thoughts on peacocks. I know you've seen owls in home decor all over the … [Read more...]

October 7, 2011 by · 13 Comments
I'll confess: the nailhead pumpkins floating around the blogosphere this fall speak to me. I first spied this one on Houzz several weeks ago. by StrictlySimpleStyleI added it to my Fall Decor Ideabook right away, (check out the entire ideabook in my sidebar), thinking this would be a cool and easy DIY. I even went so far as to purchase and spray paint my victim pumpkin for the project. Remember this larger pumpkin I scored at Wal … [Read more...]

A Little Bookcase Love
October 3, 2011 by · 14 Comments
Bookcases are hard. If you're like me, you hit on a look you like and then eventually you start tweaking it a little here and there, until suddenly, you're not happy with it anymore. Something's missing, or maybe there's too much? For several months I've been considering painting the inside of my family room bookcases. I have lots of wonderful decorative pieces and books and they just weren't popping against the white. … [Read more...]
