Fireplace Makeover!

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  First of all, thank you so much for the sweet comments on Part 1 of the Legacy story... I sometimes hesitate to get too personal here, but this story has been such a faith walk I have to get it out of my heart and head!  Today, as promised, it's back to projects and I am sooo excited to share this one with you!  It's one of those that makes you think: why did I wait so long to do this???  A couple of weeks ago I gave … [Read more...]

Simple Valentine’s Day DIYs

Hello, friends and Happy Valentine's Day to you!  The hubs and I are headed to the mountains for a quick getaway this weekend -- MUCH needed after a week of meetings, work, meetings, to-dos, and high school soccer.   Anyway, I thought I'd pop in with a few of my favorite Valentine's Day DIYs from years past, just in case you're longing to do a smidge of V Day decorating. Valentine's Subway Art Printable Sweet and Salty Valentine Treat DIY … [Read more...]

Before & After: Farmhouse Paint Dresser Makeover

Woo hoo!  It only took me three weeks to finish a project for 2015, but I have to say this was a good one and something of a test drive at the same time.  If you follow me on Instagram, you saw this last weekend -- another driveway sanding session.  (My neighbors love me -- and they bring me their cast off furniture pieces when they see me out!). That sweet little solid wood 6 drawer dresser was an unexpected find last November.  I was in … [Read more...]

DIY Reindeer Table Runner

Hi everyone!  Wouldn't you know it, the busiest time to be taking photos and my camera won't talk to my computer right now.  Grrr.   Fortunately, I had just finished up loading photos from my latest DIY -- a sweet burlap table runner for your casual holiday table. :) #whew I love a good stenciling project, don't you?  If you follow me on Instagram,  you saw a little tease the other day... I'm so lucky to work with the good folks at … [Read more...]

Christmas on the Front Porch

Monday already?  Oh did I have a fun and full weekend decking my halls... the inside of my home is still in process, but the porch?  Done!  I'm not sure why I wanted to put more creativity into it this year.  Maybe because we'll be traveling some over Christmas and I'm simplifying my inside decorations?  Anyway, after gathering some inspiration, here's where I landed... Come on up!  I usually have small trees in these urns, but decided … [Read more...]

DIY Joy Banner

There's just something about the word "joy", don't you think?  Three simple letters that can flood your heart and soul with the warm fuzzies.  I love what it symbolizes this time of year -- waiting in great anticipation for the birth of our Savior, time spent with loved ones, preparations for festivities.  Joy-full stuff, all of it. And when I scored some upholstery webbing at the Country Living Fair in October, I had this in mind from the … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed It (November)

Happy December!  I have to confess I was tempted to skip my November recap today and jump straight into Christmas decorating and DIY --  this is one of my favorite times of year and I have a few cool projects in the works and loads of ideas for more.  But, it didn't seem right to short-change the month of November.  It was  a good one!  And I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to linger among your loved ones for a … [Read more...]

DIY Chevron Deer Head Wall Decor

Well, THAT title is a mouthful, isn't it!?  Happy Friday, y'all!  Today I'm sharing a fun new project that has me swooning and ready to deck the halls... well, sorta.  What I love about this is that you could use it year round in your decor.  Think "rustic chic" for holiday and everyday. :) I spotted these unfinished wood deer heads online at Unfinished Wood Company.  If you haven't heard of them, click immediately over to their website.  … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed it: October

Oh my goodness.  November, y'all.   Over the weekend, I had to turn my heat on and we enjoyed our first fire of the season... well, the boys and I did anyway.  The hubs was off to enjoy his first weekend of hunting season.  So I got my craft on in a huge way and got my booth all squared away for our Holiday Open House later this week!  I'll share pics on Wednesday, but for today I'm recapping a very busy October.  Just in case you missed it. I … [Read more...]

DIY Go Dawgs Burlap Banner

Well, what do you know?  A new DIY project?  Say it ain't so... If you've followed this blog long enough, you know that we are a big SEC football household.  The hubs played football for Auburn, I was born and raised a Texas Aggie fan, and my daughter is a die-hard Georgia Bulldog.  You can imagine what Saturdays in the fall are like for us -- so many games to watch, so many loyalties to be divided at times.  But we do love our college … [Read more...]
