"YART"


Yard Art..

Found this little gem at Canton and had to share.. Not sure if my husband is on board with it yet but I love it. Our backyard is like a little jungle and it fits in just right..

Some might find it tacky but I think it is the perfect addition of "YART".. Next up- a border surrounding our beds made up of wine bottles turned upside down and hammered into the yard(I'm only dreaming)..

Mini Chandelier Update


I've been dying for a new house project!! Just so many to do and I'm unsure of where to start especially since I don't want to spend a lot of money! The office, the fence, flooring and gutters.. just don't no where to start.

Here's a little project I had fun doing.. It's amazing how long I think about doing something and it really is so simply and doesn't take long once you commit..

My Mini Chandelier Update

Sorry for the quality- taken from my i-phone


Basically I took some bronze paint from hobby lobby and once I was done covering the white base, I sponge painted it with teal to give it a patina look. Next I want to paint the ceiling.. However that makes me want to re-paint the entry way and dining room which is more of a project than I was hoping to take on.. We'll see..

I'm in love... with bedding!




Ahhh.... I'm in love with this bedding and room for that matter. Actually I love anything "ikat" right now. This fabric comes with an INSANE price tag but a girl can dream, right? Below are a few other fabrics I currently like.. If only I would take that sewing class I've been meaning to take I might actually be able to take on a project like that.. One day..

Favorite Time of Year!!

(Picture from our Boston trip last fall)

Ugh... It's embarrassing how long it's been since I posted. I guess I've stayed busy with work which is a great thing. I've been blessed these last few months with some amazing clients and I am so thankful for them. I get to be part of these peoples lives when they make one of the most important decisions and the joy on their faces when they close on their future home is truly wonderful!! The best part is that I get to build a long-term relationship with some pretty special people!

On another note, I am in LOVE with this weather and all things fall. I've had so much fun decorating my house and I've determined it is ok to spend money on fall decor bc you get to enjoy for 2 months versus Christmas which kinda limits you to one. :)

I'm starting to get a big re-model/project itch.. But there is so many things that I would like to do, I'm struggling to decide which one we should take on next..

Some of my ideas include:
*Wood Floors... ahhh I want them so bad but they are by far the most expensive thing on my wish list
*Removing the wall between the kitchen and living room.. sounds simple but that leads to a huge project that would include- building a breakfast bar, needing a new downdraft cooktop and re-facing/adding cabinets
*New fence and landscaping.. something my husband would get more enjoyment out of..

Hmmm... decisions decisions..
