Well, I caved a little on my "no decorating for Valentine's Day" stance over the weekend. You see, I had a vision. Does that ever happen to you? And my paint brushes were beckoning. And, after all, didn't I say that painting more was on my personal goals list for 2014? So I got a little bit busy. :) I already had everything on hand for this project (yay!) and this Christmas inspiration piece had been tickling my mind for a couple … [Read more...]

T.G.I.F. What. a. week. Parent conferences are not for the faint of heart, I have to say. Maybe someday I can document all the interesting challenges I run across with parents, but for now -- God gives me the weekends to regroup. :) We are in the deep freeze here in the Deep South... and while I know you hardy folks from Northern parts think we are big wimps. when you're used to January temps in the 50's and not the teens it's quite a … [Read more...]

Hump Daa--ayyy! Whew! I shoulda buckled my seat belt on Monday morning, 'cuz this has been a doozy of a week so far.

DIY Monogram Pumpkin
October 4, 2013 by · 4 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, I went on a pumpkin painting tear. If you follow me on Instagram you were witness to it all. :) It's no secret that I'm no fan of bright orange pumpkins but I love the different shapes and sizes and the way pumpkins just speak of fall. So I pulled out my chalk paint and some brushes and got to work on a selection of faux pumpkins to use in decorating my booth for fall. I used Annie Sloan chalk paints in Old … [Read more...]
House Tour: My Foyer (for now!)
August 23, 2013 by · 9 Comments
Earlier in the summer when I photographed my family room for my Home Tour, I snapped a few pics of my foyer at the same time. With so many gloomy rainy days, it was a challenge to get a day of decent lighting, so I seized my moment! I'm sharing them today, even though they're not the best quality. Think it's time for a better camera and maybe a photography lesson or two? :) I'll be adding to these as lighting and photography savvy … [Read more...]

Guest Room Progress…
May 1, 2013 by · 3 Comments
Have you ever noticed how a making up a bed makes a bedroom feel more pulled together? Things are slowly coming together in the guest room, but I was totally jazzed when I got the sheets, blankets, and pillows on the beds. I'm going with simple white sheets and cotton blankets for now... I've always loved that summery look. I'm still on the lookout for shams... I'm thinking a Euro sham, because the beds are actually tall, even though … [Read more...]
Thinking Wall Decor {for the Guest Room}
April 27, 2013 by · 6 Comments
Trucking right along! I'm drilling down on bedding for the guest room, using some basics I already have and filling in the gaps as economically as possible. Fun! Especially since it involved a trip to HomeGoods, armed with a 2 gift cards I've been hoarding for a while. I picked up a few things for the beds, but also found these... My wheels have been turning about the wall decor for this room and I'm planning on using a few things … [Read more...]

November 28, 2012 by · 4 Comments
When I was contacted several weeks ago to do a product review for NOVICA, I had never heard of the company.
