Christmas Home Tour
knock, knock (Ahhhh!!! Someone’s here?!?! I hope it’s just the UPS man – I’m still in my pajamas and the house is a wreck.) Oh hi! It’s you. And you want to see my house? Ooooookay, but you have to promise to squint and tell me it looks beautiful even if you don’t really…

O Christmas Tree…
“O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches…” One of my favorite sights during this season is a lit Christmas tree – especially when it’s shining in the night from a cozy home. The other night, my family was driving home and I was peering at all the houses to see all…

The Second Noel
Last year, I was browsing through (wait, I don’t really browse…more like study) Pottery Barn’s holiday magazine. My eyes spotted this lovely scene: Like many other people, I was quite smitten with their Noel wall art (no longer available). I loved its’ simple and classic style. And I wanted it in my home. So I began…

A Furry Project
A while ago, I was scanning the remnant section at my local Hancock Fabrics and found something lovely: Rabbit fur!!! (rabbit not included) Everything in the remnant section is 75% off, so this 1/4 yard of fur turned out to be $1.25. I think I can handle that. As soon as I saw it, I had…

Happily Ever After DIY Canvas
It all started with this: See that large blank wall space above my bed? I wanted something to fill it. I have this cool candle-holder-wire-thing that I thought might be pretty, but since it’s my bedroom, I wanted it to be something more personal and romantic…not a boring old “something I could just buy in…

Guest Room Wall Art
Hello there and a happy Monday to you! Remember my guest room from many posts ago? The one I painted blue, sewed curtains for, and added my garden stool to? Yes. That one. It’s the only guest room in my house…so it’s pretty easy to keep track of which guest room I’m talking about. {teehee}…

$1.62 Wall Art
Wow – it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything in the area of home decor! I definitely loved our time in the 31 Days of Building Your Marriage series, but it is kinda nice to get back in the swing of things. 🙂 I guess I’ve never shown you any pics of my…

Hello, you beautiful September 23. How glorious that the first day of Autumn has finally arrived! Now, if we could just get some of that lovely crisp weather around here… 🙂 In honor of the first day of fall, I have one of my favorite ever wreaths up on my door. Here she is: I…

Schmurtains
I am rather excited to share this post with you. 🙂 if I could duplicate that smiley face a hundred times without being redundant, that would express my excitement quite well. 😉 So, what started as this: (sorry – ipod pic) gradually turned into this: (after a paint job) and while collecting inspiration pics, I…

Magnolia Wreath
I’ve been needing a wreath for my door ever since I moved…um…2 months ago? I had several qualifications: inexpensive (read: less than $5) seasonally appropriate (which is why I haven’t hung my Christmas wreath up…) pretty (basically just something I liked) I saw some really pretty lima bean wreaths around the ‘net, but when I…

Kitchen Help
As the title of this post suggests, I’ve decided to hire kitchen help. Things are getting stressful and I can’t take the whole “3-meals-a-day” thing anymore. I don’t even know what to say after starting off with such a corny joke. Except maybe – no, I’m not hiring any kitchen help, so no need to…
