I guess you all are beginning to get the drift that I love Halloween – right?I couldn’t resist busting out my silhouette machine to play copycat with some Halloween crows & ravens for my breakfast room. You see, I fell head over heels in love with Country Living’s spread of bird crafts {see below.} Although, I…
real, bumpy, freckled or faux ~ i heart pumpkins
Pumpkins, they’ve got to be the easiest home accessory for the season. It doesn’t matter what they look like~ they can put a smile on my face in an instant. I had to do a big ‘ole U-turn when I saw our Farmer’s market unloading these beauties the other morning. Instant heaven. The above picture is…
my fashion forward fall felt flower wreath aka:FFFFFW
It kinda became a no-brainer to make a felt flower wreath. If you’ve been following this blog during the past month, you may remember my post of spying “Stripes for Fall.” Well, as most of you know, I’ve totally fallen for the stripe trend in my shop & in my wardrobe. So it was only…
10 tasks in 10 days challenge
GULP! It’s only because it’s Cha Cha & Gina that I’m signing up for this. I’ve said “No” to so many fun blog related things. I don’t know what has happened this Summer, but it’s all I can do to do the basics, and I’m barely doing that. It doesn’t matter how big or how small…
the deets on the breakfast room~
So often, I’m left speechless by your sweet comments or emails. But I was truly blown away by all the emails & comments I received about my last post of making & painting a chevron curtain. I will say proudly, this room was decorated on the cheap, & over time. A lot of time. It’s…
painting & making a chevron curtain
I figured it was high time to jump on the Chevron bandwagon. There’s been too much fun out in blogland over Chevron fabric, and to be quite honest…I was getting rather jealous. So, I thought a curtain was in order. Here’s our very small breakfast room before: Of course, it’s the smallest room in the…
I’ve got the greener grass
6 years ago this week we drove up this road to see what house went with the newly placed For Sale sign out on the corner of the road. The house had been on the market for 3 days. Immediately after walking in this house, I had that powerful unquestionable feeling, I was in love. The…
rare book collection of botanical & butterfly printables
S.R. Gambrel – The Hamptons One of the things that always seems so seasonal appropriate this time of year, is decorating with botanical prints. It’s just Spring to me. Whether it be with a rare antique flower collection, displays of nature, or a specimen collection such as butterflies or cocoons. The look & feel of decorating…

a birdcage for my wall
As mentioned last week, here’s the play by play of how I re-worked the bird cage. It’s a little whimsy & a whole lotta Spring in my book. When we bought our house, a lot of crap was left behind. Literally. So gross. It was falling apart sitting up high on our porch. It’s not perfect…
