Monday, already? I actually had a pretty low key weekend and am feeling on the downside of my head cold so fingers crossed that it's behind me! I did get a few things done around the house and that's always a good feeling. :) One of the things on my list was to put my dining room "back together." I may not have shared that last May my parents loaded up our family piano and drove it to Austin for my older sister, who is experiencing a … [Read more...]

I Can’t Resist: Kate Marker Interiors
March 7, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Hey there, friends! Monday again... yikes! We enjoyed the most gorgeous weekend here in GA. The hubs and I headed down to my in-laws' and got a few outdoor projects done for them. It felt awesome to be out in the sunshine... and we are pre-pollen-explosion so we were basking in that, too. It's a short window of time before the pollen gets bad, so I jacked up my own list of outdoor to-dos for this week as well. Gotta make hay while the sun … [Read more...]

February 24, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hey there, friends! It's been a busy week for Legacy and RAIN RAIN RAIN for days, so a painting project I'd hoped to share isn't quite share-able today. BUT... I did want to share a design idea I just can't quit these days... oriental rugs in the kitchen. I was first intrigued with this a few years back when I spotted this image on Joan's blog for the love of a house... for the love of a house Which, by the way, if you don't follow … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday

Hey there! I hope your week is off to a great start! I'm still trying to figure out where the weekend went... I spent some time relaxing, watching TV and reading, whipped up a couple of chalkboard projects for the booth, and enjoyed a FUN girls' night out/sleep over with some dear old friends. I intended to spend time shredding paperwork in my home office, but that seemed like no fun... and didn't get done. :) And this morning it's rainy … [Read more...]

Well, a few days got away from me and here we are into February! Yikes! If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I broke away for a girls' weekend at the beach and got the bonus fun of celebrating a dear old friend's 50th birthday at the same time. It was a good time and now it's back to cold/rainy/busy days here at home. :) I've got a list of posts for y'all coming in the next few weeks, but thought I'd flash back to January today, just … [Read more...]

Wednesday! We've been in the deep freeze here in Georgia with some snow and ice predicted for later today. It is January after all!

Family Room Updates (A Peek)

Happy MLK Day, friends... I hope you are off today, snuggled in with a cup of coffee or tea and enjoying yourself! I've been taking advantage of the long weekend in a big way... catching up on Legacy to-do's, working on reorganizing my office, reading, and even sneaking in a nap or two. I'm still kind of low energy after my illness, so I've found I still need a little extra rest. Let's hope it's not habit forming. :) Speaking of when I was … [Read more...]
What’s In: Pantone’s Color of the Year
January 6, 2016 by · 1 Comment
During my recovery from my illness these past weeks, I spent a good bit of time poking around on design blogs and Pinterest... it was a great way to recharge my creative batteries and scope out what's trending for 2016. And it was hard to escape Pantone's color of the year: Rose Quartz. refinery29 Pink!! I have to say, I actually like this color but I wasn't sure how it translated to decor. I most likely would not paint a room with … [Read more...]
