Fall Patio Decor

By Stacy 2 Comments

Over the years I have decorated my front porch for Fall but I have never decked out my back patio. I decided that even though it was already pretty cozy, that I would add some Fall touches to it in anticipation to some upcoming get togethers we have planned. Pumpkin carving anyone? I’m pretty happy […]

Halloween Mantel Sign {Sprayer Giveaway!}

By Stacy 61 Comments

My kids love Halloween. Me? Not so much. Since Halloween plans look a bit different this year and they will be spending the night at home, I thought I would go all out and decorate the living room for Halloween instead of Fall like I usually do. With the help of my HomeRight Quick Finish […]

By Stacy 7 Comments

If you are a regular reader here, you know that last year we got a new sofa and I skinned the old one. We have been using the leather for all sorts of projects from moccasins, to pillows, leather tab curtains, to now, ornaments! It has been fun to repurpose the leather into new things. […]

Reusable Wood Gift Tags

By Stacy 1 Comment

I am terrible at wrapping gifts. I make Shane wrap them most of the time, but I love to add the finishing touches! Gift tags, bows, bells, greenery, or anything else to make it festive! I decided to make some wood gift tags this year. Not only are they adorable, but they are reusable! These […]

30 Gift Ideas for Teen Boys {That Won’t Break the Bank}

By Stacy 5 Comments

If you have a teenage boy in your life (son, nephew, grandson, etc) then you know they can be difficult to buy for. If you can get them to nail down a list for you (mine never will), they are usually expensive gadgets and that take you to the limits with your budget…or even over! […]

Fall and Thanksgiving Decor

By Stacy 9 Comments

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share past Fall and Thanksgiving decor. How many of you are hosting guests this season?

White Painted Pumpkins {Outdoor Fall Decor}

By Stacy 34 Comments

This has been an unusual year. Because of the extremely wet Spring, Fall has been delayed. I had such a hard time finding regular orange pumpkins and there were absolutely no white pumpkins available anywhere.  I have never used faux pumpkins before, but I didn’t want to wait until mid October to decorate so I […]

Simple Fall Decor {Home Tour}

By Stacy 6 Comments

I love Fall! Even though it is mid September, because of the weird spring weather, it has delayed the onset of Autumn. The leaves have not started to change color yet. Even up in the mountains the leaves are mostly green. We had to drive to the top of the mountain just to get a […]

Valentine’s Day Decor that Transitions to Spring

Plum Christmas Tablescape

By Stacy 2 Comments

Maybe it is because I live with all boys and dinner time can be, well, lacking manners sometimes, but I like to dress the table up every now and then. The holidays are a really fun time to create a pretty tablescape. This year because my Christmas decor has plum accents, I went with a […]

Christmas Tree With Plum Ornaments

By Stacy 21 Comments

I am normally a “decorate after Thanksgiving” kind of person even though bloggers are expected to decorate early. But I was invited to do participate in a super fun blog hop and I couldn’t say no. So while a couple of my kids may have grumbled about the tree being up too soon, I have […]

Black and White Halloween Mantel

By Stacy 7 Comments

I am not a fan of Halloween. I honestly don’t get the holiday. I have never decorated for Halloween. My kids tease me about not liking it and wonder why. I told them when they had kids they would understand :) So it came as quite the surprise to them (and myself) when out of […]

The leaves have just started to change color in the mountains near our home. We took some time this weekend to drive up and gather some leaves. I had already picked up some mums and white pumpkins at the nursery so I threw together a Fall mantel. A huge shout out to Krista for organizing […]
