…to a beautiful home
Who Ya Gonna Call? Tomorrow is October 1st, which means Halloween is thirty days away! Time to get our craft on! Let’s start with ghost crafts. I think this ghost centerpiece from BHG is so cute! It’s easy too, which is always a plus. It’s literally a stack of books with two ghosts cut out [...]
Makeover in Progress! Wild hair has arrived! I’ve decided that I need an office. I need someplace to call my own…do my thing…someplace to blog…to sew…to DIY. So, I got a wild hair and am transforming my space. This is the LITTLE room that has been designated as mine. I could use the guest [...]
Easy Halloween Decor We love spooky around our house…at Halloween! Any other time of the year…no. Halloween…yes! Whenever I see an old, dead tree, I say to my kids, “That tree looks spooky!!” So, I decided to bring a little “spooky tree” into my Halloween decor this year. Unfortunately, I have a young, dead tree [...]
Stunning Swan For about a year, I have kept a picture in my phone of a wooden sign with a painted swan. I found it at Coastal Living magazine’s website and have been intending to make my own version one day. Well, today’s the day! I am so excited about my new completed project! [...]

A What Kind Of Party???? I’m venturing a little off course today because I attended a very exciting party yesterday. Who doesn’t love a party, right?! But this was a new one for me…it was a gender reveal party. Apparently it’s the latest thing for soon-to-be parents. When I gave birth, many moons ago, you [...]

Monogram Mania Currently, I am totally in love with monograms! It is complete Monogram Mania at my house right now! For some reason, I want to put a monogram on just about everything…not literally…but please, make mine a monogram! Monograms give something identity. They add interest and flair. They are elegant and classic. They never [...]
Loving My Fall Front Porch In the quest for a beautiful Fall front porch, I decided it was time to make my annual trek in search of the perfect pumpkins. In years past, our family would all venture to the local pumpkin patch and each child would choose their pumpkin. Sadly, this year no one [...]

Tabletops to “Fall” in Love With When I say fall in love with your table, I don’t mean fall in LOVE with your table. I mean FALL in love with your table, as in Fall Decor! Make your Fall tabletops beautiful! Last week, I showed you my “Leaf Wreath,” in which I had moved my [...]
Burlap Projects Are Everywhere… You only need to take a quick look around the blogosphere or Pinterest to see that there is a current love of Burlap taking place. It is a woven fabric that is usually made from the skin of a jute plant or sisal fibers. It has a coarse texture, which rules [...]
Trick or Treat…Bats go…eek! I have had a plain orange metal tub for years. I’m sure you all have something very similiar. I think I got it at Walmart many moons ago. We’ve used it for everything from holding our trick or treat candy to bobbing for apples. It’s a great size and it’s orange, [...]
What’s a Fall Leaf Wreath, you ask? (It’s definitely a mouth full!) Yesterday, I showed you some changes that I made in my corner cabinet in my dining room. I brought in some greens and earth tones to compliment my white dishes, to give a subtle fall look. If you missed it, you can check [...]
Fall Decor does not have to be extravagant and bold. It can be understated and simple. Let me show you some of my Fall decor in its simplicity. You all know that I like to “shop my house” and find things that I can use in other ways. It shakes things up a little bit [...]
As you all know, one of my favorite stomping grounds is Lowe’s. I know that I’ve done a WSW at Lowe’s before, but sorry…here we go again. This time around the focus is lighting, specifically ceiling lighting. *My pics were done with my iPhone, so they’re not great! While strolling the lighting section at Lowe’s, [...]

Baskets There are many styles and types of baskets. I like to have a mixture of baskets in my home. If I like look of a basket, I’ll get it! I tend to like the older baskets that have the warm patina to them as well as any basket that has an interesting weave. [...]
Have you ever had those moments, when you finish a DIY or project and you say, “YES! That’s awesome!” I had one last night! I’ve been contemplating my Fall decor for my front porch for several days. At the end of July, I did a makeover on my wicker settee, seen here. I knew [...]
Do you love lighting as much as I do? Is the lighting one of the first things you notice when you walk in a room? I think lighting is such an important part of our home and yet it’s often what we give the least amount of thought when decorating. Sometimes it’s as if it’s [...]
