dog beds are decor
Before I get into the post today, I wanted to let my readers in the north east know that I’ll be in Palmyra, New York this Saturday (September 24, 2016) for The Purple Painted Lady 6th Annual Festival. (Click the link for details.) I’ll be teaching milk paint demos and answering Q&A’s at 11:00 am and […]
farmhouse holiday series | fall dining room
It’s time for another installment of the Farmhouse Holiday Series with some of my blog buddies. And this week, we partnered with All Modern to show you our dining rooms decorated for fall. I remember when I felt like “holiday” colors were locked in. Christmas had to be green and red and fall had to be […]
fall living room
You’re all amazing. I just need to say that. All of your comments in reply to my “things have changed” post were like a huge hug to me. I know that sounds cheesy, but they really were. What’s interesting is that after I posted that, it was such a relief to me and it pushed […]

farmhouse holiday series | fall family room
In this second installment of the farmhouse holiday series, we’re all sharing our fall family rooms… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but I don’t do much in the way of fall decorating. I’ll put out a couple of pumpkins, a bowl of apples, etc. and just leave it at that. In […]
progress in Calvin’s room…
We made some real progress in Calvin’s room the past couple of weeks. As a reminder, we’re transitioning our guest room into a room for our youngest son, Calvin. He’s ready to have everything done right now, but I’ve been trying to teach him that good rooms aren’t rushed together. It’s about collecting just the […]
