I’m kinda loving my new Christmas decor in the dining room, people. Ok, not kinda, more like totally. As you might know, the dining room has done a complete 180 since last Christmas. It was ALL black, dark gold walls…and now it’s ALL white, light neutral walls, with touches of aqua. So when I pulled […]

Back in October I saw the cutest ghosts in blogland, made by the super talented Lindy over at Itsy Bitsy Paper. She made them using juice bottles. I thought they were so genius and wanted to make them for our home. Besides, I usually buy that brand of orange juice anyway (there was one in […]

EEK! So. Freaking. Excited! The Family Room is done (ok, I lie – the crown molding on 2 of the 4 walls still needs to be caulked and repainted, but shh….you can’t tell from the pics so I went ahead and decided to show you;). It’ll most likely be another week or so till we […]

So I’ve got this awesome/amazing/spectacular idea for the one remaining empty wall in my Family Room. However…it requires this particular material that has to be just right (this will all make sense to you when I find said material and post about it for you;). Not knowing when I would stumble across this “just right” […]

I always knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home-mom someday. I wanted to be a mom more than anything – ever. I wanted to have a minivan full of kids, be a Room Mom, bake the world’s best chocolate chip cookies and have them waiting for the kids when they got home from school. I […]

I just love a good yard sale find, don’t you? I found this little bench/stool guy that was $3 and the possibilities were endless. Wasn’t sure what room it was going to end up in, but I figured it would be cute somewhere after some paint and fabric TLC. I was looking at the one […]

A reader emailed me not too long ago, with a very interesting post idea. She asked me if I would write one about my favorite craft staples. What are my “go tos;” what can’t I live without? If you were a newbie and wanted to start collecting products to have around, what should be in […]

Lots of thoughts running around in my head, so forgive me if I seem all over the place here. Just watched the Hurricane Sandy television event to raise money for the victims of this horrific tragedy. I am embarrassed to admit, I wasn’t aware of just how devastating this storm was. I mean, yes, I […]

You know I love me some HomeGoods. Like borderline – ok, ok – WAY over the borderline obsessed with the place. I have purchased some awesome stuff there over the years, but I think recently I bought my Numero Uno purchase of all time. It’s a rockin’ bird cage/photo holder/thing-a-ma-jig. I buy a lot of […]

I’m downright giddy about this one, folks. As you probably know, we’re in the midst of a Family Room Makeover. And if you’ve been a ND follower through my other room makeovers, you know I like to work with what I have whenever possible. This latest project was no exception. I’ve been drooling over some […]
