Do-it-yourself projects and Home Decor
My site has been down, or at least the backend of it. I couldn’t access anything on the backend to make any changes, upload photos, or write any posts. So I have had this Valentine mantel done and photographed but I couldn’t share it with you. Now in blogland, bloggers are suppose to get their […]
This post is sponsored by Costa Farms but all ideas and opinions are my own :) Hi, my name is Stacy and I am addicted to plants. My kids occasionally sing “Welcome to the jungle!” as they enter the family room, especially after I buy a new plant or two. Over the years I […]
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 […]
Hey guys! It is one of my favorite times of year. It is time to share my Christmas home tour with you! I love hopping from blog to blog to see the different ways people have decorated. If you are here from Janet’s blog, WELCOME! If you haven’t see her home yet, stop by after […]
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 […]
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? It might be fun to add some special touches to your home before they arrive. I like to keep things simple and use things I have already […]
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 […]
If you are here from Nina’s blog, I’m so glad you are here! If you haven’t checked out her home yet, hop on over later. It is beautiful! Springtime is busy for me. Spring concerts for the kids, starting to work outside for the first time, finishing up “winter” projects, and I tend to have […]
Hello! I just love home tours and I hope you have enjoyed this one so far. In an effort to simplify a bit, I only really decorated the family room and dining room this year. Let’s start in the family room :) I don’t think you can go wrong with greenery! I also […]
This post from last year fell through the cracks and never got posted. I still love these ornaments and how easy and mess free they are to make so I am sharing them this year. I decorate our tree a different way every year but I try to not buy a lot of new things. […]
Good morning! I don’t know what it has been like in your neck of the woods, but it has been unusually warm here. All this sunshine has me feeling a bit weird about decorating for Christmas. It brings me back to the days when we lived in Las Vegas. The inside of my home is […]
I love this time of year, not for the weather…brrr, but for the feeling of gratitude everyone seems to be feeling. Hopefully you are all planning on spending time with loved ones this Thanksgiving. If you are the *lucky* one who gets to host, or if you are helping set up the Thanksgiving table, I […]
My birthday was yesterday and the only thing I really wanted was a clean house all decorated for Fall and some peace and quiet. Luckily I got both. I also got a new motor for the furnace. A little less fun but I am sure I will enjoy it come winter time. If you have […]
My boys have been obsessed with St. Patrick’s Day since they were tiny. I couldn’t even tell you exactly why. Maybe it is the thought of catching a leprechaun or all the gold, but they have gotten really into a holiday that to be honest, I would probably have glossed over otherwise. Some years, […]
As promised, I am sharing my version of a Valentine’s Day table setting today. I’m continuing the theme of using light pink, or blush, like with my family room. I have really come to like pink (I’m currently crushing on it actually!) especially when paired with black and gold! I stole the black faceted […]
There’s nothing like a deadline to push you to get things done. One of the reasons I like to have company come is it motivates me to deep clean. Ever since I took the Christmas decor down my front room has felt naked and sad. I still had random pinecones under furniture and little pieces […]
We still do not have any snow. It has not just been cloudy but has been “no sky in sight, end of days” dark outside. I am starting to get a little stir crazy for my want of sunshine. It has also made taking pictures very difficult. I had to edit these a lot and […]
Last year I didn’t participate in any home tours. When I decorated my house, I kept it super simple and only decorated the trees and added a little garland. I thought it would make things less stressful if I went that route but guess what…..I missed decorating more and sharing a tour with you! So […]
Holy moly it is December you guys! I can’t believe it! I have one more Minwax project to share with you and it is super simple and perfect for winter. It helped me complete my Christmas decor. I don’t buy a lot of new holiday decorations because I try to use what I already have […]
