Several months ago on a whim, I videotaped my 4 year old asking what she would like in her room. Her room that I need to redo. And this is her response. She’s the cutest thing ever by the way. And if you can’t see the video below, here is the link to it.
Hi guys! I’ve missed you all, but have thoroughly enjoyed my Christmas break and holiday. When I was getting this post ready and going through all of 2013’s blog posts/projects, man, it was a good year! We accomplished quite a LOT I think. Ask me how and I can’t tell you that, but all I know is that we did it. :)
Here are my top 13 projects and posts from 2013, and reader favorites. And besides getting some room makeovers done and other projects, 2013 was kind of the year to makeover myself as well.
I’m cutting to the chase y’all, hope you don’t mind my bluntness. Remember that Design Dash event I did with La-Z-Boy where I worked my tail off for 2 days designing the room with the coral sofa? This room…
Please vote for my room and the coral sofa HERE. I will love you forever!!! Thanks so much everyone.
Come on in, grab a cup of coffee or cocoa, and enjoy the Christmas home tour! I’ll start out by saying our house is never this clean, things were shoved out of the way to take pictures, we don’t have a perfect home, and it took days to clean up just so I could take a few photos. :)
Ok, whew, glad that’s out of the way…
Here’s a snippet of what’s to come.
I really did have a bright idea. And an original one (at least that I know of) and it really just hit me one day so I went for it! I love how it turned out too since I typically don’t decorate my hutch in the office much. I knew I wanted to do something in there, and UPS has been visiting here ummm, quite a bit…..and I am sure you can see where this is going if I have a lot of empty boxes laying around right?
So here is what I came up with for our holiday hutch.
Oh happy day y’all I get to show you all our Christmas tree for this year! I had dreams this year of having an all white tree, but it couldn’t be just white…it needed to be white and flocked. Which isn’t the easiest to find. Last year we did get a real tree, and it was flocked and it was beautiful too. But I just wanted all white this year, and an artificial one. And this is the new beauty.
Things are moving quickly around here in the Christmas decorating department! The house is about finished, just still trying to clean up some of the clutter still. But anywho, today I am showing you our Christmas mantel for this year, and I am really digging it. It’s simple, yet grand, and sometimes simple and grand is all you need.
Hi all! Hope you had a great weekend. I finally was able to snap a few photos of our much new and improved breakfast room over the weekend. I mentioned a few weeks ago we took advantage of World Market’s big furniture sale they had and got our new table and chairs from there. And I just love them so much.
Hello friends! I was honored to be invited to participate in a decorating challenge from Pottery Barn! We were each sent their Tanner Nesting Tables, and were challenged to use them to create 2 different looks, in 2 areas in our home. I love the look of nesting tables since they are so functional and can be used in many ways. You never can have too many side accent tables am I right?
The first look I came up with was to use them mostly as a Fall display to hold some pretty accessories. More of like an art work display, if you will.
Today’s the day friends! I’m super excited to reveal the white room challenge that I participated in a few weeks ago with La-Z-Boy! You know, the empty room with the beautiful coral sofa in it. You all seemed to love the coral sofa too in my novel of a post, so I was happy about that. And sorry I had to leave you hanging, but I gotta do what I gotta do. :) Anywho, here is the final room, and please vote for me here on LZB’s facebook page!
I love showing you all things I have found recently that are worthy to be written about. Case in point, the best leggings ever. After all, it is legging and oversized shirt season right? Good leggings are hard to find because a lot of them are see through and will show your lumps and bumps (a/k/a cellulite, a/k/a the worst genetic inheritance ever), but these do a great job at covering it all up and smoothing you out (for the most part) and are just flattering, which is hard to say about leggings.
Howdy friends! Man, I needed a week or so to get back to normal, and to process my few days spent in North Carolina for the La-Z-Boy Design Dash event where I designed a coral sofa! My oh my it was a jam-packed, super fun, and amazing event. If you follow me on Instagram you have probably seen all of the excitement that went on. I have never experienced anything like it but it was incredible.
