Well, I was hoping to have a couple of projects finished, photographed, and ready to share today. Not quite. :) Wax is drying, burlap is cut/staged/ready, lampshade is poised for her makeover. But it was a crazy week on the home front and at school, so I got nothin'. In fact, I took a nap when I got home from school yesterday. It was that kind of week. This should be a banner weekend for those 90% projects, though, so I'll have some … [Read more...]
Seeing Green
February 6, 2013 by · 8 Comments
In honor of my No Spend Month I'd thought I'd touch on the Pantone color of the year... emerald green! After all it's the color of money, no? ;-) It was catching my eye back in December when I fell prey to this lovely in the aisles of Target. In my defense, my kitchen rug was literally falling apart and I knew a beautiful antique rug wasn't going to be in my budget for quite some time. But $17.99? THAT I could do. By the way, these … [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...]

YAY! I am so excited that I'm at last able to bring you a fabulous interview from Laura at Top This Top That!

January’s Favorite Things
January 31, 2013 by · 3 Comments
I can't believe we're already at the end of January! I survived all those parent conferences, but did not accomplish everything I'd hoped to do on the home front. Oh well -- there's always February, right? ;-) So here are my favorite things for January... I think it's a pretty good list. :) 1. Atlanta Bloggers get-togethers. I was sooooo lucky this month! Our Atlanta bloggers met up for lunch and a business meeting in Woodstock, GA … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday

I'm in the home stretch with my parent conferences this week... and I'm ready to be thinking about and planning decor projects -- like a few on my Home Goals list.

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...]
2013…The Word?
January 4, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Hello everyone and Happy 2013! We're back from the beach and I'm digging out from under Christmas decorations, new calendars, bills awaiting, and laundry. Ah, re-entry. I'll be catching up on my email and blog reading this weekend, so if I've neglected your comments or recent posts, I apologize. I was under-the-weather a good part of our trip and didn't read as much as I'd thought I would -- lots of sleeping in, chillin' in Gulf breezes, and … [Read more...]
