Yes, I did it. The Christmas crafts are officially upon us, and I tackled my first one over the weekend. It was funny – I had just walked in the house from a Friendsgiving feast with our best friends and I kid you not – the DIY Leaf Garland that has yet to fall ONCE […]

Wow. So my last post was eerily timely, huh? But just as I said in that post, I will continue to go forth and blog…while I pray and pray…and pray some more for Paris and the rest of this world of ours. God bless. If you recall from the Basement Makeover Post, there were too […]
Because It’s So Much More Than Decorating…
November 10, 2015 by 12 Comments
Not too long ago, as I was logging onto Facebook to share a new blog post, I noticed my newsfeed was filled with all kinds of sadness. A school shooting, a plane crash, a bombing…I felt a little silly posting about my latest project. How trivial, I thought. Â When you see all the problems in […]

Got a nice new addition to our family room last week. Well, actually two. And I love them so much I had to blog about it. I’ve been wanting some of those adorable cozy-sweater-looking poufs for a long time now. But it was always one of those, “I’m already spending a jillion dollars at Target […]

Don’t Forget the Doors! (And Railing…and knobs)
November 2, 2015 by 4 Comments
This – what I’m about to blog about right this very second – is something I almost overlooked. Something I almost wasn’t going to worry about. It’s not that big of a deal, I said. It won’t make that big a difference, I said. HA! If I only knew… Details, friends. It’s those small touches that […]

Oh rugs. They’re so overwhelming to shop for, aren’t they? It’s so hard to make a decision, because well, first of all, there are so many to choose from. And if it’s a large one, it’s gonna cost you a good chuck o’ change, and who wants to live with regret if you make the […]
