Dining Chair Slips & New Curtains
Believe it or not, sewing is not something I really enjoy. It’s something I do, so I can get the look I want. And I don’t hate it so much that I’m not willing to do it. Sometimes I get in a mood to sew and then I have to take advantage of that. I’m […]
FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY – Favorites & Link Party
Today was a packed day, so I didn’t have the chance to pick favorites, unfortunately. I’ll go through and pin some on my FFF and Furniture-spiration Pinterest board, though. Enjoy the party! Here are the rules for our furniture get-together… 1.) Your post has to be about furniture. Please, please, please…just furniture. If you find […]
Pottery Barn PINterior Decorating Challenge
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on saying “no” to more and more things.

Most of my married life has been spent in apartments and then a condo-style townhouse where all of the mowing and yard care was handled […]
Master Bathroom Details & Reveal
Yesterday, someone asked me about my master bathroom in a comment and I realized I have never shared the details on that makeover! I finished the bathroom and immediately went on three trips in a row and then hopped right back into the school year routine. Also, we haven’t finished it totally. We did a […]
getting inspired, shopping & hanging plates
I go through stages in decorating and working on projects. Sometimes I’m a worker bee and it’s all about getting as much done as I possibly can. Sometimes I’m burnt out and need to step away from the the projects for a while. Sometimes I get restless and just want to make changes. Sometimes I’m […]
