Happy Wednesday... the first of fall! I have to confess, I was uber-ready to welcome fall this year by getting my decorating on. Much as I loved my summer mantel with its killer burlap flag bunting, I am ready to think crisp mornings, breezy leaf-drifting days, and pumpkins! And, oo la la, I love it so! The leaves haven't begun changing yet here, but I'm loving the Japanese Maple clippings in my demijohns. It will be fun to refresh … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed it {August}
September 4, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Y'all. Whew. Things have been crazy. And I don't mean just busy... I mean some tough tests swirling around me these days. I'm sorry I've been a little MIA, but I've done my best to juggle work and family obligations and struggles along with this space, and something had to give for a bit. I'm having a hard time carving out a quiet space in my mind to tackle projects and share them here. I'm hoping this fog of negativity lifts soon and I can … [Read more...]
House Tour: My Foyer (for now!)
August 23, 2013 by · 9 Comments
Earlier in the summer when I photographed my family room for my Home Tour, I snapped a few pics of my foyer at the same time. With so many gloomy rainy days, it was a challenge to get a day of decent lighting, so I seized my moment! I'm sharing them today, even though they're not the best quality. Think it's time for a better camera and maybe a photography lesson or two? :) I'll be adding to these as lighting and photography savvy … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends... I hope you had a wonderful 4th! We got rained out, but still enjoyed time with friends. I even tried out a new recipe that I can't wait to share with you.

I had to chuckle when I remembered writing about how crazy my month of May would be and that you might not see much of me on the blog during that month... ha! I'm so thrilled to be into June when I can breathe a little, take stock of what projects I'd like to accomplish this summer, and catch up on blogging and reading. In case you missed some of these May moments, here's a look back! We squeezed in a lake getaway to recharge before … [Read more...]
More Guest Room Progress :)
May 8, 2013 by · 5 Comments
This week will probably kill me. Just letting you know... and before it totally gets away from me, I wanted to show you MORE progress in the guest room (plus do a little thinking-out-loud to you!). I finished up that thrifted lamp makeover and got her situated on the dresser. Now that I'm pulling the room together slowly, I'm thinking of leaving the dresser as is for now -- maybe just switching out the hardware? I like the color in … [Read more...]

April 5, 2013 by · 10 Comments
Today I'm headed to Athens to see my daughter, but I owe you a new project announcement, right? I love new projects. And I'm so happy to have Spring Break next week to jump start this one! I can't believe I'm showing you this sad sad space. Let me explain before you start hating on me! This used to be my older son's room. Last summer, he moved into my daughter's (much larger) old room after SHE decided to move downstairs into my … [Read more...]
