sharing my passion for all things home
When I made my large chalkboard that resides in my dining room I was really excited about the prospect of changing out the artwork on it from season to season. But, on my first attempt to write something on it, I got kind of intimidated. What in the heck was I going to write to fill up all that space? And, even scarier, how … [Read more...]
I think it's safe to say that most everyone in the U.S. is more than ready for spring. It's been the coldest and gloomiest winter that I've ever had here in Texas and this is my 19th year in this state. When the weather starts getting me down I like to treat myself to some fresh flowers. I picked up these tulips the other day at the grocery … [Read more...]
It just seems so appropriate to blog about what inspires me on Sundays. I think it's a great way to look back at the previous week and look ahead to the next. It feels a lot like gratitude and I think there's nothing like a dose of gratitude to make a girl feel good inside. Here's what's catching my eye this week: 1. … [Read more...]
It's funny how one thing can start an entire domino effect turning one small project in to a huge one. That's what's kind of happening at my house right now.

Today, I'm starting a new series I'm calling, "Inspire Me Sundays." I plan to share all kinds of inspiring things here: pictures of beautiful … [Read more...]
You know what they say...the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Despite my husband telling me it's really through the Victoria's Secret catalog, I know he always feels the love when I make him his favorite foods -- like super fudge-y, fresh-from-the-oven brownies, for example. Nothing says "I love you" like a fresh brownie, … [Read more...]
Do you have a room in your house that never really feels quite right to you? For me, it is my powder bath. It seems like it would be the easiest room in the house to decorate since it's so small. I mean, what's there to decorate, right? It's a toilet and a sink. Simple, simple. Wrong. It's a window-less room that, for … [Read more...]
