I used to get so excited to decorate when Fall turned around. My house a year or so ago was nothing but dark, warm colors. Deep reds, golds, greens, black furniture. Fall decor just seemed to ‘go’ so well with it. And I was equally displeased with my house come spring. All the beautiful pastels […]

So I’ve been on a *little* Fall pillow binge lately.  Ok, and maybe throw blankets too. Seriously, have you BEEN to Home Goods lately?! And they’re like $15 a pop, come on! What’s a girl to do? Seeing all those cozy, gorgeous fall colors made me realize just how summer-y my throw pillows in the […]

Had  my girls over last night for our monthly craft night – so much fun as always. By the way, I can’t tell you how awesome it is when one of you readers emails me telling me you’ve started a craft group of your own! I’ve had quite a few emails like that lately, and […]

Oh goodness gracious. Has this been a CRAZY couple of weeks! Between back to school and birthdays, soccer for all three kids, oh, and about every doctor checkup (WHY would I schedule these for this week, is beyond me?!) I just might not make it until the weekend. Can’t wait for things to calm down […]

Toy Story’s been a favorite in our house for years. All three of these Pixar delights have always been in a pretty steady rotation, and all three of my kids went through major phases when they wanted Buzz, Woody, and Jessie everything. But I think my oldest had TS fever the most. She went through […]

So you might have read about the dining room changes. If not, you can read all about it here. Basically, a rainy day happened, and now it’s undergoing a little makeover. Because that’s what happens when the kids are playing at a neighbor’s house and there’s paint in my house. I’m dangerous. Painted the china […]

I know, I know. I just finished the dining room makeover like a second ago. BUT, you just never know when inspiration will hit you, or when you find yourself on say, a rainy day, and the kids are at the neighbor’s house playing, and oh, I don’t know, you start looking at your paint […]

Forgive me, friends. I know it’s been a little quieter around here the past couple months. You see, Summer came. And it brought so much fun with it, that I can’t seem to bring myself to work on the 837 projects in my mind right now. I promise, once September rolls around, the ND will […]

I visited my aunt the other day. They had recently moved into a new house, so we went over to see it and hang out for a while. She had a little pile of stuff from the old house they were getting ready to toss or give away, and in the pile, sat this PERFECT […]

Before I begin, I have to admit – I cannot take an ounce of credit for this home improvement (and WHAT an improvement it is!) project. I’ve seen it done all over Pinterest, in fact, I think that’s where my neighbor saw the idea (and I stole it from her!;). You see, we have identical […]
