It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful
Yesterday I was suddenly in need of a quick change in our family room but I didn’t want to go buy something. I had that wood frame that’s waiting for photos to be printed out–wait, who am I kidding, I haven’t even taken the photos yet. It’s gonna be a little while until I get [...]
My sister brought some senior girls from her small group to Charlotte on Saturday and I knew they we going to stop by our house and before I knew what was happening, I had streamers and crafts and iced coffees ready for their arrival. It’s a sickness, when I know girlie folk are coming I [...]

Back before the Holidays I ran across a box of loose chandelier crystals. I purchased an ugly pendant light at a yard sale a few years ago, just for the crystals. I think I even took the crystals off right there at the trunk of our car and threw the fixture away in a trash [...]

After looking through pinterest, we settled on making doily bowls. First we went “doily hunting” as Reeve called it. We found [...]
If you paint two pieces of furniture the same color and then put them next to each other, it’s kind of like you are joining them in holy matrimony. The yellow mirror in the office was just a temporary pop of color until I realized where I could really use a mirror. Here are the [...]
I changed up my office just a little. Normally, it looks like this. Blue and brownish. I consider blue a neutral in this house. I added pink in the spring. It takes almost nothing to change the look of a room. I like to mix things up just for fun. It started with this [...]
Yesterday I told you how I made it a point to evaluate the larger pieces in our home and how that led to a more put together look. Once I liked the big things I could finally see what little things worked. But in order to even SEE the big pieces in their full glory, [...]
