Several weeks ago I shared our Home Tour, which included the Living Room — and a project I shared a sneak peak of in this post — the Window Seat. I’m going to give you a little background info today and then Mike {my hubby} will be back on Thursday with a “guest-post” of sorts …

Learn how to restore a deck with Rustoleum Deck Restore. With this step-by-step tutorial and product review, you can restore a weathered deck over the weekend (and at a fraction of the price it costs to replace the deck!). Well, I know I just shared our Patio Reveal back in June, but it’s already experienced …
A month-and-a-half-ish later and the Quick Patio Makeover is complete! There were some bumps along the way — literal bumps, in fact. My “E” went crashing to the ground after a big gust of wind. It’s a little “rough around the edges” {haha} but I decided to go the way of The Nester and know …
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? We had gorgeous weather on Friday and I spent some time finishing up the details of our Quick Patio Makeover. It has been over a month since I shared the inspiration photos with you so it’s starting to feel like a “not-quite-so-quick” patio makeover, but we hit a couple …
Isn’t Pinterest just so much fun; but so overwhelming, too? I think there might be 8 Million different DIY Wreath ideas on Pinterest. Maybe a few less. But, hey, who’s counting? I needed some small wreaths for my front porch; to hang on these guys: No, they didn’t stay brown. They got a new coat …
Working as an event planner, I have multiple events going on each month so I must be organized in order to make the events successful. To bring in both color and organization to my office, I created a bright fabric covered cork board. This project was so much fun to complete! It cost less than …
So… it’s no secret that I love IKEA! Seriously….my house is 90% IKEA furniture. One of my favorite IKEA pieces in my home is this white cabinet (no longer available) in my bedroom. Since the walls in my room are off-white, the cabinet tends to blend in so I wanted to add something to make …
I hope you had a great weekend! We took a little mini-getaway to Gatlinburg over the weekend and had such a good time hiking in the mountains, shopping and eating all kinds of yummy food. Speaking of Gatlinburg, it’s right here on our Family Wall Calendar. I shared some glimpses of our Family Wall Calendar …
Count your steps, name them one by one… Ok, maybe that isn’t how the song goes 🙂 But my son has been counting our steps since we finished this little Entry Way project. This was an easy project and quick to install, too. Instructions Measure your stair risers to determine what size number you need …
While shopping at a Flea Market here in Lexington (the same day I found my Botanical Chart print), I came across this cool stone mold of Kentucky. In case you’re questioning your geography skills (or mine) — yes, the state is backwards — because it is a mold. It cost me $9 which is more …
Earlier this week I shared some inspiration for my entry. This is one of my favorites: I especially love that rug. I have always wanted to try out some of the painted rug tutorials I have seen on Pinterest & around the Blogosphere. So since I’m working on my entry, and love this photo of …
What’s a {Reverse} Knock-Off? Well, I made it up. At least I think I did. It might exist somewhere else out there in cyberspace. I didn’t copyright it or anything. 🙂 In January, Anthropologie opened in Lexington. Based on our upcoming Anthro Love Series, you can probably guess I was excited. We headed there the …
I really like the look of Vintage Botanical Charts but hadn’t come across them in thrift stores or flea markets. I love these examples below, but authentic charts are definitely out of my price range. However, on a recent trip to a flea market in Lexington I came across this botanical-style poster for $2. I …
The holiday season is always a busy one and completing Christmas Cards is just one of the many tasks we try to fit into the short season. Surprisingly, we actually finished our Christmas Card photos in September. Yes, I know that seems super organized, but in fact the whole photo session was thrown together at …
For our wedding we used vintage Green & Blue Glass Bottles as the centerpiece at each table. They were filled with flowers and candles, sitting atop hand-sewn squares of toile fabric. Mike and I {note: more credit goes to him} collected these bottles from yard sales, flea markets, and peddlers malls for the entire year …
