my new lamp, my passion for wicker & part 2 of “duck egg”

I’ve come to believe that wicker may never go out of style and even if it does or it seems as if it comes and goes over a span of time, it really never goes out of style, it’s always there, we may not choose to pick it up and add it into our decor

duck egg

my newest love. duck egg.  as in the color, not an egg.  which by the way, are duck eggs blue? i wouldn’t know.  but i do know that i’m smitten with the paint color ‘duck egg’. can you blame me? it’s so fun to open a fresh can of paint, especially Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

first impressions

After the curb appeal. After the front porch. After the front door comes the entry area. The area where you welcome your guests into your home. This has always been a favorite of mine in home decor. I like to look at photos of pretty entry ways. Some are defined as entry halls, some are

weekend goals

This is how I stage a wall collage, it’s the only safe place in my home. Yes, I suppose most people would use the floor, but then I would have eight paws and two wet noses in my way and crawling around in the floor, moving things here and there, just isn’t as fun as

We’re finally in the home stretch with our den renovation.  Since our entry, den and small sun room areas all flow together, we redid all three at the same time. All three were painted different colors. They all blended but it was time to lighten things up a bit and tie the three areas together.

I’m on the fence.   I need help so I’m pitching this one out to you. Here’s your chance to speak.  Have your say. Lay it out there. Indecision.  A terrible place to visit. It’s usually not a big deal for me.  Just jump in with both feet and don’t look back…right? You know those words

new boots and coco

I bought new boots…well they’re really black suede booties to wear with my skinny jeans. That cracks me up typing that. Skinny Jeans, wish they made me look skinny 🙂 Any who…this is the box they came in. Check out the bottom!  pretty cool.  see it says recycle.  so I did. I also bought some

what in the world was i thinking?

Ever had those times when you’ve bought something put it in your home and it looks ridiculous? Or how about when you have a piece of furniture that you thought you could paint and make it look like new again? You might have told yourself these things to make the it all seem okay; “I’ll
