Allume Pictures and Decor!

November 8, 2012

I said the other day that I didn’t really have any pictures of the decor from Allume, and then ya’ll…sweet Anne from Authentic Simplicity sent me some!  So I wanted to share.  The best part of these is that they didn’t cost much at all! This lamp set-up was on the stage.  We just asked [...]

Super Pretty Pennant Banners!

September 15, 2012

I’ve been quiet around here lately.  No really deep reason, just that I wanted to live without putting pressure on myself to write about it all the time too.  In the past week or so, I’ve spent some good time at home and loved playing water guns with my kids (among other games), refinishing a [...]

How To…Make a Book Page Wreath

November 21, 2011

I’m up to my eyeballs in Christmas decorations around here. This is the first year EVER that I have even gotten my Christmas stuff down before Thanksgiving.  If I don’t get a jump on it though, there’s no way I’ll get it done in time for the Lily Pottery Jewelry show that I’m having here [...]

Oh Goody Goody….almost!

August 9, 2011

Remember when I wrote about my most favorite slippers ever a LONG time ago? Goody Goody Bon Bons   Well, my friend Lindsey sent me a link the other day to a PDF pattern for some slippers and said, “I think you should make these.” Cute huh? I’ve never made slippers though, but what’s the [...]

Flower Power

July 20, 2011

I’m doing the flowers for a wedding this weekend.  And by “doing,”  I mean arranging…all of them.  From all the bridal bouquets to the centerpieces for the 250 person reception…I’m their flower gal. And you know I’m excited about it!  A little overwhelmed, but not by the flowers, it’s by the other parts…like that my [...]

A 24 Hour Bathroom Re-Do!

July 18, 2011

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I said that I had an itch to re-do my kids’ bathroom?  Well, last night the Hubs had a meeting, so I got to work with a can of paint and a brush and went to town on that bathroom.  And now, less than 24 hours [...]

I’ve Been Commissioned….

June 6, 2011

Remember recently I told you about a new kind of paint that I’d ordered called Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint? If not, read about it HERE. Well, the paint arrived few weeks ago and I’ve had a blast messing around with it lately. I painted that china cabinet there on the left (I’m not showing you [...]

I Fix…I Dig…Ok, Maybe not so much…

May 24, 2011

I’m back from DC!  Exhausted as all get out, but it was a great weekend.  Lots of learning, lots of fun, and the company was top notch!  I’m still playing catch up from last week though.  It was a full week of life, and flubbers, and gearing up for going out of town…all while the [...]

Refinishing a Dresser….it’s easier than you think!

May 12, 2011

I’m kicking myself.  Once again I did a piece of furniture without a before picture.  I swore I had taken one though, but apparently I didn’t.  I’ve checked 2 cameras and my phone…nothing.  SO just imagine with me would you? This dresser, but just plain wood.  Pretty color stain though…dark…walnuttish, but seriously bubbled up from [...]
