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...]
A February Challenge
February 4, 2013 by · 18 Comments
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...]
Happy February and French Linen Lovely
February 1, 2013 by · 6 Comments
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...]
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...]
Holiday Treat: Reindeer Food
December 21, 2012 by · 6 Comments
It's Friday, friends, and the clock is ticking toward Christmas! This week, in addition to some major re-entry issues after NYC, I made our traditional Reindeer Food treat that we give to friends and neighbors during the holidays. I'm always on the hunt for cute containers to package it. These were all picked up on clearance after last Christmas. Do you spy the treat spread out on the counter behind while it hardens? This is the recipe … [Read more...]

December 11, 2012 by · 7 Comments
It was quite the birthday weekend for the hubs up at the lake, and now, of course, I'm feeling behind the eight ball just a bit! My daughter and I take off for NYC right after school on Thursday, so all my to-dos for the next several days need to be checked off by the time I leave for work on Thursday morning... yikes! Anyhow, over Thanksgiving I worked on this little sheet music project and thought I'd share it with you along with a peek at … [Read more...]

One of the items I added is this guy. I love to create wreaths and this idea had been rolling around in my head for several weeks... I love sheet music and it's been the crafting … [Read more...]
