Holy smokes, y'all... tomorrow is November! Yowza! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I had a busy week with the Little Ones -- Halloween is so much fun for them I always feel like I'm along for their ride, at least for a couple of days. :) Anyway, I enjoyed sharing a little randomness last Friday, so I'm thinking every so often I'll offer up a Five on Friday post, just for fun. I've been back on my painting and DIY'ing horse this … [Read more...]

Hump day, friends! I don't know about you, but I'm already looking forward to the weekend! Anyway, now that I've been at home for a couple of weekends, there are all kinds of things happening around here... feels good to finish up some things and change out some other things in the old home space. Today let's look at a couple of new additions to my family room gallery wall! Let's take a peek at what it looked like when I first finished it … [Read more...]
Neutral Fall Mantel
October 15, 2014 by · 7 Comments
I'm a little late to the fall mantel party, but I wanted to do one nonetheless; we spent a huge amount of time in our family room when we're home and with the leaves just starting to turn outside my windows I wanted the mantel to reflect the change of season too. This year I wanted it to be neutral with lots of texture and I think I'm there... Sorry if the photos are a little dark; we had massive storms that blew through yesterday … [Read more...]

August 1?? Oh am I fighting those end of summer blues as we get ready to start school on Monday. Boo. Even though my July turned out to be on quiet side here on the old blog, I thought in the interest of keeping up I'd go ahead and recap it for you... just in case! And just for fun, I'm throwing in Instagram photos, because they tell a most accurate story of my month. :) I shared this Waterlogue flag you can print out for your own … [Read more...]
Family Room Gallery Wall
July 23, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Woo hoo, y'all! It's up -- I spent a good chunk of yesterday working on my gallery wall and I have to say, I'm so pleased with the results. Yesterday I shared some inspiration pics and this one from Love Grows Wild stood out in particular... Maybe because our sofas are similar in style and color, and our wall color is close as well, but I just loved this look. Let's just take a look back so we have a sense of the … [Read more...]

Family Room Bookshelves: Refreshed
July 16, 2014 by · 1 Comment
It's the proverbial One Thing Leads to Another, y'all. Once I repainted my family room and put my summer mantel in place, my built in bookshelves were just crying out for a fresh look, too. What about MEEEeeeee??? they were saying. And since a student of mine last year ruined that phrase for me, I had to act. #donteverwanttohearthatagain If you follow me on Instagram, you got a peek or two at the process. And it is, indeed, a process. … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (June)

This summer is absolutely flying by! I turned the calendar over to July this morning and it looks to be another busy month of family, a little travel, and hopefully some good projects around the house. I also looked back over my posts in June and though it was lighter posting schedule there were some goodies in there! I shared some of my favorite catalog finds for outdoors... Still love this stepping stone from Home Decorators … [Read more...]
Summer Mantel {with a Coastal Vibe}
June 16, 2014 by · 3 Comments
Howdy! Hope y'all had a delightful weekend... the hubs went off to work today relaxed and happy after a fun-filled weekend with friends and our Peeps. Fish frying, deck sitting, cocktail sipping, poolside lounging... we did it all. And lots of laughter and chatting. Such a great way to celebrate Father's Day! I polished off my summer mantel in preps for the fish fry, so thought I'd share while the hydrangeas are still fresh... I … [Read more...]
Family Room Repaint (almost done!)
June 12, 2014 by ·
OH. My. Gosh. Belvedere Cream, how I love you... I can't get over the difference simply changing the paint color makes (haven't I said that before??). There is very little back on the walls, but I decided to go ahead and show you the color change... Here's where we started... If you remember, once I got my beloved white drapes in place, the wall color was suddenly too goldish/warm for me. I wanted lighter and brighter and so went with the … [Read more...]
