Happy New Year everyone! This was the first New Years that I actually saw midnight in a long time. Actually, I was busy working on a dog bed project, coming soon to a blog near you, while watching re-run episodes of Psych with my husband, whereupon we accidentally stumbled onto midnight, gave each other a …
After the glimmer and the sparkle of the holidays have come and gone, January can be left feeling in an in-eloquent sense very blah. The vast majority of home style blogs focus on reorganizing and decluttering in January. I suppose for those living in the more southern states, you can put away Christmas, sparkle, and lights …
Decorating for Christmas has always been important to me. I know, you’re all shocked. Ha. But I remember even in my freshman college dorm room going all out. Amidst studying for finals, my roommate and I made dozens of snowflakes and hung them at varying lengths from the ceiling. At the end of the room, …
First off, I just want to thank you again for your encouragement. All the comments after my last post, you guys blew me away. Thank you! It’s truly such an incredible blessing to be able to use my gifts and see it bless others. Thank you for the love, the shares, comments, likes and subscriptions. …
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We sure did. We also had some hiccups with the Christmas tree and a sick kid on Thanksgiving, but over all, it was such a relaxing, blessed weekend spent with family, (and decorating for Christmas of course). I want to thank you all so much for …

This fall was …
As I sit here and write, the wind is stripping the last bit of gold from swaying sticks outside. Fall has always been my favorite season, and I usually come out with a bang, changing up the décor, making way for pumpkins and spice and everything nice. Then, before we know it, a soft blanket …
I’ve been promising a nursery reveal for over a year now. So rather than epic, it feels a bit like old news. I’ve shared some sneak peaks of some of the smaller projects in her nursery along the way. The Sweet Rose Hook Rack that I made from an old drawer front can be found here, the Eiffel …
I made another embroidered pillow. Maybe you’ve noticed too, but embroidery is all the rage this season, so I’m right en pointe. If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll remember when I repurposed an old framed and thrifted piece of embroidery for a fall pheasant pillow a couple of years ago. (You can see …
You may have long given up on seeing the nursery. I know, I promised a reveal over a year ago. And I can assure you, it is coming. It is unquestionably the sweetest room in the house. I still am so delighted that I got to do a girl nursery. One thing I did in the …
