One of the first projects that I finished when the kids went back to school was making some updates to the den.It needed it. The family spends a lot of time in here, gaming, reading or watching tv, and it was becoming a hodge podge of sorts. We love the beach so much, so I decided…
I am busting at the seams to share some October favorites at Duke Manor Farm with you.. not really ( about busting at the seams ), but I did want to tell you, just in case you are in the market for face cream, rugs or candles. I know, totally random, but it’s been raining here for like…
I’m back this month for another decorating challenge and sharing some style ideas and tips for your bookcase…..or any wall shelf will do. I will be sharing the links to all these gorgeously styled bookcases at the end of this post. The decorating challenge is where we use what we have to decorate a…
So it occurred to me while sipping on some frozen fruity drinks at the beach with my mom last week while we were in Florida, that I better get this Coppertone bum in gear and finish the updates that I want to do before she gets here in 4 weeks. I really haven’t done enough to share up…

Table, basket… you decide. I should have known that day I was at Hobby Lobby, that the comment from the girl at the register would have me second guessing my decision as soon as I walked out of the store. And it didn’t help when my husband echoed her thoughts as well when I got…
I am taking a departure from the usual decorating, design, kids and donkey stories to bring you a rather enlightening and fun post today……fun interview with my husband on blogging and decorating. This idea started with a few pals who wanted to know how their husbands really felt about projects, decorating etc and thought it…
It’s time for the cottage on Dog House Lane to get some well needed attention. Since my mom will be occupying the space for a few months and it really hasn’t had any updates in a few years, I thought I would freshen the place up before she gets here. I am also challenging myself…
Welcome to the home tour at Duke Manor Farm. We found the land, drew up the plans, built the house…..and are living happily ever after. Things out here in the country are a tad bit quiet so we are always happy when friends drop by. So here’s our story…..15 years ago my husband and I decided to take…
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Monday Musings. I am still waiting on the ottoman and accent chair for my family room after 10 long weeks.
