2024 Spring Offerings at Target

Studio McGee dropped their first 2024 spring offerings at Target.  And!  Because Iā€™m still obsessed with their look, I hopped over there to take a peek and share what I found. Dollar Spot Before I headed to the back of the store where they keep McGee and Magnolia, I perused the Dollar Spot section.  They […]

Bottlebrush Mantle

The bottlebrush mantle I have this year is cute and wintry and doesnā€™t scream Christmas.  Which has been my decorating goal this year. The retro look of bottlebrush Christmas dĆ©cor caught my eye a few years ago and I picked up a few adorable pieces mostly from World Market.  World Market still sells the trees […]

Winter Quilt ā€“ The Look for Less

My goal for this yearā€™s winter bedroom was a cozy look without looking Christmassy.  So time for a new winter quilt, but the look for less. Warm bedding in our house usually goes from the beginning of December through February and I donā€™t want to change everything out mid-season. So the search began for a […]

A Drool-Worthy Kitchen

While a new home or kitchen remodel are not in the cards for us, it never hurts to look at pretty homes and today Iā€™m sharing a drool-worthy kitchen. Come along with me and see if you agree! Model home peeping has long been one of our hobbies.  Itā€™s fun to see beautiful fixtures, finishes […]

Guest Bedroom Update and the Look for Less

Inspired by Pottery Barn linens and McGee and Co artwork, I gave our guest bedroom an update and got the look for less money. Bedding Pottery Barn’s uber-popular Belgian Flax linen quilt ($300 for a queen quilt and $140 for two standard shams) is the inspiration for the bedspread I found at Walmart.com from My […]

The Look for Less

If you have been following my blog the past few weeks you know Iā€™ve spent a lot of time decluttering, downsizing and deep cleaning. Some of my very tired dĆ©cor made it to the donation bin and a few things got moved around. That left my house a little bare and in need of updating. […]

Finally Fall

The AC was off for an entire 24-hours so Iā€™m declaring it finally fall!Ā  Itā€™s been more Margaritaville than Apple Ciderville here. So I’ve been late getting into the spirit of the season, but here we go. My laser-focus super powers allowed me to ignore high temperatures and pull out a few fall things. And […]

Undecorating

And in other non-news reporting from my household.Ā  Iā€™ve been undecorating.Ā  Snooze.Ā  I know.Ā  But Iā€™m making room for a few new things I want to share. And.Ā  I have to undecorate first.Ā  It feels like itā€™s been so long since I have bought anything new. Ā Iā€™m still decluttering and downsizing, but all the ā€œmaking […]

Pottery Barn Design Class

Saturday we rounded up the posse, met in Scottsdale and attended a free Pottery Barn Design Class. PB offers in-store design classes most Saturdays before the store opens.  Evon, Denisse and I discovered that is just perfect because we can attend class, peruse the store (very carefully!) and then snag an early lunch before the […]

Converting the Home Office

We had a tiny project going on here this week.Ā  We spent some time and money converting the home office.Ā  To what, you ask?Ā  A man cave! Itā€™s been quite some time since weā€™ve done any projects.  The summer just didnā€™t lend itself to any household improvements. But hubā€™s desire for a recliner (different than […]
