They say good things happen to “offices” who wait. Really they do. See, it only took my office a few color schemes over the course of several years, and several gallons of paint to get to this point. From Meadow Green a few years ago, to which I blame that color choice entirely…
Surprise….I am guest hosting a link party today with…….. I am so excited to be guest hosting with the girls from Texas and Arizona today, but honestly it got me thinking Hmmmm…. What’s the real reason I am here? I wonder if the girls heard that I lived in Texas for several years and that’s why…
There is always that one project where the vision is so crystal clear, the planning is so thought out and the timeline to complete seems so attainable……… But not this one. This project started 365 days ago and just finished for all the wrong right reasons. First……. it started with my indecisiveness with the wall…
Well…. that’ll be the last time I have a few Irish spirits, and then head on up to the craft room to work on an Irish Craft, like this easy shamrock wreath made with feathers. Because clearly….. I am not Irish, I am polish. I mean come on, what was I thinking??? I guess listening to…
For brightness, not necessarily whiteness. Let me explain. With a house of more windows then I care to clean and more then the number of football players on a team , my core kitchen is still not very bright. Sounds crazy, but it’s true. Windows are situated across the room and not in this immediate…
Ever since my latest paint project here my confidence with my paint brush is soaring to try new things, to be bold, to be daring, to go places I have never been before. So I took a chance with my built in shelves in my breakfast area and painted them to “lighten” up the space….

I look out the window and not much of anything is blooming right now, except for my Camellia bushes. Yesterday I decided to cut a few and scatter them throughout the house. For a festive look that didn’t scream Christmas and more like New Years, I added the stems to a few mercury glass candle holders…
What a blast at the Better Late Than Never Holiday Inspiration Party last week. If you missed it you can click here. So many awesome and creative holiday ideas that my head is still hurting, or would that be because of the champagne? We rounded up the top 5 of the party fav’s out of…
“Ya’ll , come on in!” That’s what you would hear when you step into my home , or better yet “hurry shut the door, don’t let all the flies in”. Welcome to my house where no frills meets a bit of glamour this year. Where burlap collides with mercury glass balls. And where poinsettias get dressed in…
I interrupt your regularly scheduled Christmas project posts to bring you something much more, well entertaining to say the least. With 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 pony, 3 gold fish and 2 donkeys, oh and 3 kids, there’s no denying that I love my animals EXCEPT for those fury little flying rodents called Squirrels. All week I…
I brought this thrifty find home the other day, but I am clearly in a state of confusion. Not because of how pretty it looks once I cleaned it up and painted it or that it’s a perfect size as an accent piece and easy to move around the room But this, this is what’s…
