Decor-Recipes-Crafts
Thank you to Havertys for sponsoring this post, as always all opinions are my own. We’ve been doing a lot of furniture window shopping lately in our search for the perfect décor in our dining room turned sitting room/bar transformation. We’re slowly but surely making progress like I shared a few weeks ago but it’s so hard to narrow down … [Read more...]
A while back I shared with you my new home office. I had been using an old dining table (that I made over with contact paper!) as my desk but to be completely honest it wasn't really working for me. I needed storage-and lots of it. I barely had room to work in the office because the desktop was always covered in, well...stuff. So when … [Read more...]
Are you overflowing in strawberries yet this spring? We are and we're loving it! I took my younger boys strawberry picking (did you see the pics on Facebook?) and we picked nine (!) pounds so I of course needed to make a one of our favorites-Strawberry Banana Bread with Vanilla Glaze! This is just a slight variation on my favorite banana bread … [Read more...]
I was not an interior design student in college, nor did I ever know much about design in general until I started blogging about home decor. I knew what I liked, and what I didn't and that was about as far as it went. Recently I found myself drawn over and over to similarly styled spaces and one day my good blogging friend Kelly from View Along … [Read more...]
I love hydrangeas. Seriously, LOVE them. The first thing I did last year when we moved in our house was plant five hydrangea bushes so I could have my own. They haven't bloomed yet this year but I was super excited to see cut hydrangeas in my grocery store last week and snapped some up for my kitchen table. Keeping cut hydrangeas used … [Read more...]
Thank you to Lamps Plus for sponsoring this post. I was provided product for review but as always all opinions are my own. The bathroom is officially finished, which makes it the first room in the house I think! This weekend my husband and I added the finishing touch on all the changes we've made-we replaced the builder grade lighting with … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago my husband and I went out on one of our rare date nights and tried a newish restaurant in our area (Southern Pines, NC) called Firefly Kitchen and Bar. When we first moved here last year the building Firefly sits in was an abandoned Texas Roadhouse. We saw the renovations occur over a matter of months and watched them totally … [Read more...]
When I was a little girl I loved going to my great-grandfather's farm on the weekends. He lived in a gorgeous two story farmhouse in southern Virginia...one of those picturesque homes with the wrap-around porches. There was a chicken coop in the yard, geese wondering around, corn and cotton fields as far as the eye could see. In the barn out … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Flood® Wood Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. So a couple of weeks ago I hauled the boys to Home Depot determined to get the supplies I needed to build my own cedar raised garden bed. I had an hour before meeting some friends for a much needed girl's night so I was a woman on … [Read more...]
We all know what Sunday is-that's right, Mother's Day! That one day a year where we hard-working Moms get a little extra pampering! How many of you are like me and never get a moment alone? Not even in the bathroom? Little hands reaching under the door, screaming accusations of favorite-dinosaur-stealing piercing the peaceful silence of my … [Read more...]
I don't know what I'm more excited about today-sharing this amazing S'mores Cookie recipe or the fact that I have teamed with some of my favorite blogging friends to give away a $300 Visa Gift Card to one of our lucky readers!! Both are awesome-so lets do the recipe first then we can get the details of how YOU can win $300! My four year old is a … [Read more...]
When I shared my list of what I'm working on the other day I neglected to mention a few projects on my list for the master bathroom. I've already painted it, added custom blinds, and framed out the mirror but I'm still working on switching out the vanity light fixtures and builder-grade showerhead. (Stay tuned for those projects … [Read more...]
