Readiness and Expectancy

Well this is the week.  The week of Blissdom.  Hopefully y’all aren’t sick of hearing about it yet.  But, I’m ready and expecting good things to happen this week.  I am extremely excited to meet my online friends, and make new friends.  I don’t want it to feel cliquish and don’t want anyone to feel left out.  I am new… View Post

Pretty In Pink…The Mantel

I wasn’t even going to decorate for Valentine’s day, but silly Beth decided to have another mantel link party coming up on Monday, and well, I’ll do anything for my mantel…and Beth.  I wasn’t ready to part with my winter mantel just yet, but I love how the Valentine one came out! So here is the very foo-fooey (how do… View Post

This Was On Our Doorstep The Other Day…

Husband: “Why is there a white painted door on our doorstep?” Me: “Umm, I don’t know, maybe it’s a sign from God to paint our cabinets?” Husband: probably rolls his eyes. When I had first talked about painting our cabinets white about a month ago in this post, I think that same day I called the paint contractor I have… View Post

Real Homes, Real Messes, Real Life…Link Party Announcement!

Hi all! If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know that I decided to have my first ever link party coming up on Monday, January 17.  Having a link party is scary because you don’t know if anyone will show up to party or not, but that’s ok, I’m putting myself out there.  And I had this idea… View Post

Master Bedroom Makeover (Again)

I’m beyond excited to show you our new master bedroom…again!  I explained in this post why I decided to change it up again. But the biggest change in here was just paint.  Paint is your friend, and a cheap friend.  When I redid our master bedroom back in June last year, I did love that color (SW Rainwashed), but after… View Post

A Winter Mantel

Transitioning your Christmas decor into winter decor can be a bit tricky, but if you just do what you think is pretty, then it will work. :) That’s what I did with my winter mantel this year. I kept most everything from my Christmas mantel on there, but just added a mirror that I got from the Christmas clearance at… View Post

Pretty Book Decor {A Ballard Knock-Off}

Everyone loves decorating with books.  It’s an inexpensive decor item, especially when you buy them at the thrift stores. As I was admiring the new Ballard’s catalog the other day, I came across these Antique Book Bundles they are selling. How easy to recreate those right?  And it won’t cost you $18 or $25 like they are charging for a… View Post

2011 Realistic Goals

Instead of the obvious dieting/exercising resolution or goals that people make every year, I made some different ones because dieting would have been too predictable.  Sure it’s good to eat better and live a healthier lifestyle, but if those were my new year’s resolutions, I would have already failed miserably.  Especially since I’ve eaten fried pickles twice this week.  And… View Post

Embracing The Wood {And A Mini Kitchen Makeover}

Happy new year everyone!  The new year around here is bringing some much needed de-cluttering and organizing and it feels so good.  I am determined to get rid of a lot of stuff that I am no longer using, accessorize less, and just enjoy simplicity.  I still will have accessories, but hopefully in a less cluttery way.  We’ll see how… View Post
