Fabulous Guest #1 {Cassie From Hi Sugarplum!}

Hey everyone, I hope you are prepared for some good humor and fabulous projects today from Cassie.  Take it away Mrs. Sugarplum!

Hello friends! I’m Cassie from Hi Sugarplum! I’m thrilled to be guesting for Emily today….but also a bit jealous that I’m not hanging with her and all the other fab bloggers in Nashville! I lived there for 10 years when Mr. Sugarplum was a professional musician, so I know the fun I’m missing.

Let’s make them jealous by having all kinds of fun here, shall we?! How about some Before & After shots of my favorite makeovers?? Woo-hoo…can’t get more fun than that! I know you’re used to lots of makeovers on Decorchick, seeing as how Emily can whip out a new room in a weekend. Mine, however, tend to drag on. And on.
My first big makeover was the Hit-With-An-Ugly-Stick Kitchen:

I guess it wasn’t necessary to write ‘Before’ & ‘After’ on the pics….if you confused the two, then we’ll have to end this relationship right here and now. Sorry if I stunned you with the severity of the Before shot…I warned you it was ugly.

See oodles more pictures here….and read all the yummy details here. (Why yes, I am a tease!)

The makeover that brought me the most joy, was my son’s Toddler to Big Boy Room. (He’s almost 10, I should probably start referring to him as a guy instead of boy.)

Are you having so much fun you feel like ripping your shirt off and running around naked? No? What about after seeing what a bit of paint did to his baby dresser?

How about if I told you I completed this entire room makeover for less than $300?!?! Oh yeah…thought that might get you. It’s a party now! This room is chock-full of DIY projects, like Drop Cloth drapes, Burlap Corkboard with Faux-Nailhead trim, Soup Can Pencil Cups, Creating Cheap Art and a Magnetic Message Center for a Gallery Wall.

Well I certainly had fun, hope you did too! Hop over to Hi Sugarplum! and see more projects if you aren’t ready to end the party here. I promise I’ll put my shirt back on.

Thanks for having me, Emily!

Aren’t those makeovers amazing??  Such a beautiful kitchen and love the big boy room. I can’t wait to do a big-girl room for my little one. But I just don’t want her to get big. :)  So go and visit Cassie everyone–besides lovely makeovers she is also quite the crafty gal. She doesn’t disappoint. Thank you Cassie!

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    I still can’t get over your gorgeous kitchen! How awesome! Too bad you couldn’t make it to Nashville this time- you could’ve shown us your old stompin’ grounds!

    Cassie, can I just say that I love you. I have a huge window in my family room that my dogs love to look out. They rub up against the curtains and open them with their big ol dirty paws. The usual curtain suspects just don’t stand up so well. DROP CLOTHES! I’m at Home Depot this weekend and their will be NEW drapes! Yes. Thanks for that inspired post. I’m told they make excellent slip covers too, which will require sewing, but that’s another day.

    Thanks again!

    Fabulous! I love seeing several of her projects all at once, too. It’s like an entire house makeover. Yum.

Hey friend!

I’m Emily and love my family, faith, decorating, travel, fashion, and healthy living. And our Goldendoodle Louis, and now two kitties! I can’t wait to share with you more of our imperfect lives, and home. Get cozy and come on in!

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

It’s Cookie’s first Christmas and she is very excited. 👅
This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
