Design Choices to Avoid

(If You Happen to be a Neatnik) Perhaps you have a tiny touch of OCD or some other little tic that makes you want things neat in your home. If you’re like me, your ears perked right up about now. Recently I was watching an interior designer discussing popular design trends that are really difficult, […]

Budget Home Décor

I have made some great budget home décor purchases recently and want to share them with you! Last week I shared my budget arched cabinet, which I still love and now I’m going to share a couple new pieces styled on it. And in a couple other places too 😉. Cordless Lamp From the Magnolia […]

Pet Food Storage

A perfectly fine pet food storage cabinet gave way to a beautiful new arched cabinet and I couldn’t be happier! A few years ago we moved the cats’ bowls into the kitchen and needed a good place to store their food and supplies. A place that was not in the pantry where we keep our […]

It seems like many of you are smack dab in the middle of some big projects. And while these aren’t mine personally, I thought sharing some project inspiration would be good reading.

Way back in April, hub and I stopped in for a little window shopping at Pottery Barn. And as always, I just drooled over their bedding. And the Scarlett quilt caught my eye. As in I loved it so much I shared it with you then. Guess what? It went on sale! As in, actually […]

Spring Refresh – No Shopping

With longer, warmer days, I was ready for a spring refresh, but not ready for shopping. I dug out all my Easter/Spring stuff and used a bit of it here and there. Right after Christmas I did my bigger spring decorating because winter is so depressing to me. I’ve been happy with the simple clean […]

How to Make an Impact with Small Art

I like to mix things up in my home décor. Umm, a lot. Like I could replace my stuff every season. And then I’d have to shop. And then I’d have to purge. So this weekend, I shopped my house and I’m sharing how to make an impact with small art pieces I purchased from […]

Early Spring Refresh

Okay, I’m pretty sure January is not considered spring in anyone’s encyclopedia.  As in, it is the dead of winter.  But my mood badly needed an early spring refresh. I would not call this a redecorate, but I added a few cheerful touches that put me right in the spring mindset. Come along and let […]
