diy anthropologie inspired vase

Several months ago I purchased a vase at Goodwill for $5 thinking that I would bring it home and spray paint it gold (because you know how much I loved gold during the winter months... check it out here!).

spring decor roundup

As I was determining what to do with my mantel for spring (you can check it out here), I searched high and low for some inspiration. I didn't want it to be too pastel-ish, nor did I want it to be something that was only good through Easter. I need ideas that will last through … Continue reading spring decor roundup

Spring will be official this week (woo hoo!), so I've cleared out the winter decor and ushered in the spring fantasticness. First up was the mantel.

yummy cream of broc-cauli soup

Here in the Nashville area it's been a roller coaster of weather patterns this winter. Nonetheless, there's nothing better on a cloudy, cold, snowy or rainy day than a warm bowl of soup.

happy st. patty’s day printables

Top-o-the-mornin' to you! Because of the western fascination with leprechauns and luck on this green-laden holiday, you may not realize that St. Patrick's Day was actually established to commemorate the life of St. Patrick and the arrival of Christianity to Ireland. Huh. Interesting. As such, I wanted to celebrate today, and my Irish roots, with … Continue reading happy st. patty’s day printables

As I write this, I'm sitting under the hair dryer at my hair salon waiting for my color to do it's magic. I love the sweet gal who does my hair, Nichole.

diy placemats

I've been on the hunt for some new placemats for quite some time now. I have our trusty day-to-day placemats: practical and stylish, but getting a little, shall we say, used. I love putting a table scape together complete with placemats to compliment the goodies on the table. So, in my quest for my yet … Continue reading diy placemats
