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 […]

Budget Art

Itā€™s time for some new art in our bedroom, but spending a lot of money for it isnā€™t too appealing.  But.  I found budget art and Iā€™m going to share it with you. Because.  I love it.  I recently shared some free art I found online, printed it off, used a frame I had and […]

Summer Kitchen Refresh

The beginning of June seems like the appropriate time to do a summer kitchen refresh.Ā  To lighten things up a bit, I added some faux citrus.Ā  The small PB lemon tree (Amazon version here) went into a cute white basket and on top of my pet feed cabinet and under my beautiful Buc-ees chicken.Ā  BTW, […]

Around Town in February

We had an unusually busy (and fun) week with various activities around town in February and here is a recap. Latin Night DF Barb got our posse all signed up for the club’s Latin Night dinner this week. It was a very fancy taco Tuesday buffet. The dĆ©cor was cute, the food was good and […]

Targetā€™s Spring 2023 Home DĆ©cor
