As they say in the South….Howdy! Living in a fairly rural area in the country along with my family, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 fish, pony, donkey and horses on the property, we don’t get many visitors stopping by, so it’s always a real treat when I can have friends over and show them around…
Well….. another month made a mad dash off the calendar. I don’t know, I am thinking that if I slow down more that maybe the months won’t seem to fly by? And in the midst of end of year activities, preschool and 1st grade graduations and packing up the family for a vacation to South Florida,…
For the longest time I was the mom who said ” food in the kitchen only” “drinks at the counter” “use a plate for your crumbs” to my kids…..repeatedly. In fact, to help fight the temptation of not having food outside of the kitchen, and only because I wanted less to clean, I didn’t even have a coffee table for…
This poor room had been through a lot… I actually felt sorry for it. A lot of paint changes, color changes, rug changes, accessory changes and furniture changes.

It’s been a joy sharing the different areas in my home and my holiday projects over the last month so today I thought I would throw it all together and give you a tour. If you came over in person I probably would be more chatty then I will be today ( you know how…
I know most of you have heard the saying “fear is not an option” but in my household we say something a tad bit different….. Particularly when it comes to painting walls in our Kitchen and Family Room. We say “Heights are not an option” Not an option, not here in this house. You see,…
I have a secret….I don’t cook. My kitchen contribution, I clean , eat and I paint. And today I wanted to share with you the kitchen before I painted my kitchen cabinets white. Not that it was the easiest or fastest project to tackle, but it certainly was the best thing I ever did for my kitchen…although…
I can’t lie, I have anxiously been waiting for “something” to arrive and today it did! You see, a few weeks back my buddy Linda over at It All Started With Paint asked if I would like to participate in an event called Pass It On. The idea being that I would receive “something” wonderfully…
I like to walk around certain stores to breath in some inspiration. The other day it was Pier One and I happened to spot these fun little ….. they are bigger then a marble, smaller then a Que ball and have numbers and letters on them they are glass and the perfect size for my…
Want to know a way you can personalize your space for less then $10.00? MONOGRAM Ever since I bought my “His” “Her” pillows for my bedroom my obsession for this fun,whimsical way to make the space your own, is fairly evident throughout my house.

How flattered was I to receive the “prestigious” Liebster Blog Award yesterday by Jen at Harrison Home. The Liebster is an award that is given to a newbie blogger who is recognized by a fellow blogger. I have always appreciated peer to peer recognition.
