Good Thursday to you, friends! Popping back in today with a couple of painting projects I've been working on this week. The weather has been perfect to get a few things done so that's been my focus. But first, I wanted to share a note about Legacy with you. As I've been writing that story out, it's been very healing for me and helpful in terms of processing what happened. If you've been following along, you might already realize that … [Read more...]
Christmas on my Front Porch
December 23, 2015 by · 1 Comment
Good day-before-Christmas Eve! Or Christmas Eve Eve, I suppose? Thank you for your sweet comments on Monday's decor post... I am slowly feeling better following a diagnosis of walking pneumonia and some medication. Most of my "to do's" are done, especially since I erased a bunch of stuff off that list. We can only do what we can do, right? #thestockingswillbepitifulthisyear Today I'm sharing a few pics of my front porch... I finished it … [Read more...]
A Few Fall Touches
October 21, 2015 by · 1 Comment
I've been home so little recently it feels awesome to be catching up on some things around the house... you shoulda seen the stack of mail/paperwork I plowed through on Monday! I don't know why, but fall always seems to fly by and so I'm working extra hard to savor these couple of weeks of sweet weather and a bit of time to enjoy my house. And probably some furniture painting, too. :) I refreshed the dough bowl on my coffee table with a mix … [Read more...]
Christmas on the Front Porch
December 8, 2014 by · 5 Comments
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...]
Christmas on the Front Porch {Inspiration}
December 3, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Hey there! Hope y'all are having a good week and getting your ho-ho-ho in tip top shape! The blogosphere is full of holiday home tours this week (tons of inspiration out there!!) and I'm still working on decking my halls. True confession -- when you're gone for Thanksgiving every year (which we are) it's hard to get a head start on full blown Christmas decorating. So I always feel a little behind, but I honestly don't stress. My halls will … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {August}
September 8, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Well, the weekend flew by, didn't it?! I enjoyed some furniture painting and a little bit of crafting, but mostly got a few things ticked off my to-do list. And added some more to it! I realize it's already 8 days into September, but I thought I'd go ahead and recap August here before I got too much further behind. :) It seemed August was a month of updates, like my back deck... and my guest room. I also shared a couple of … [Read more...]
Back Deck Update: End of Summer
August 21, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Y'all, we've had so much rain this summer, my back deck is exploding with color! I thought I'd share, because we've so enjoyed hanging out there these past several weeks. Just to remind you where we were at the beginning of the summer... Not bad, but now there's this... Amazing what a rug, some colorful pillows, sunshine, rain, and a little fertilizer in the pots can do! I never managed to get my furniture … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (June)
July 1, 2014 by · 1 Comment
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...]
Catalog Finds {the Outdoor Edition}
June 4, 2014 by · 2 Comments
I don't know about y'all, but sprucing up my back deck has me perusing all those catalogs for more outdoor space inspiration... after all, the front porch could use a refresh, too! So I thought I'd share some of the things that have caught my eye over the last week or so... links are underneath each photo. I have to start with Grandin Road and this little sea horse table... Sea horse side table And this rug, if you're … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
June 2, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
