Welcome back! I hope you guys all had a happy and rest filled weekend. We had fun celebrating my mom and hanging out as a family at Loblolly Manor. It was nice to be able to take a bit of a break to celebrate all the sweet, sassy and strong women that make up my family so I hope you guys had a chance to celebrate the women you love too.
You guys, I can’t even believe I’m about to utter these words…it’s week 5 already! Week 5 of the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda of Calling it Home. The biggest amount of progress we’ve made this week has been in the inventory/craft closet. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to…
If you’ve been following for any length of time you know my heart speaks in neutrals and baskets. I think a good basket can cure almost any organization dilemma as long as you’ve put in the hard work of decluttering first. Here’s a look at how inexpensive painted baskets can give a custom look to any organization project…
Remember last week when I couldn’t decide if I should add a gray wash to the new barstools in the office? Even after a few days of giving the look of the warmer wood a chance I kept thinking about giving them a gray wash. So, this past weekend I finally took the plunge and while I was giving the barstools a weathered makeover I decided to give the office chair a DIY chalk-like painted makeover too. Here’s a look at all of the details…
I’ve been collecting bits of ironstone, tarnished trophies, books and weathered wood pieces so I can have a layered look with lots of neutrals in the office makeover. With the rest of the budget dedicated to finishing the inventory/craft closet I had to come up with another way to get the look without buying more accessories, enter the power of paint.
Remember last week when I said, week 3 was the hardest week of the One Room Challenge? Well, I was wrong…so, so, so wrong. Week 4 is definitely the hardest. Here’s a sneak peek at the progress we’ve made this week…
I’m so glad you guys are here today. It’s going to be an awesome day because I’m teaming up with some of my favorite painters and business women for a fun post called What’s in My Paint Bag?
Over the years, we’ve learned what styles work best in this little cottage and slowly room by room things are starting to take shape. A few years ago, a fellow blogger recommended a book about decorating with white. I swear it was like a light went off and that one book changed everything. Here’s a peek at what’s on my nightstand…
We’re gearing up for the 53rd Annual Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival in Fernandina Beach this weekend so I thought I would share an update on my space at The Pickers Market
You guys, I can’t even believe we’re already at week 3 of the One Room Challenge! I’ve heard so many previous participants say week 3 is the hardest week and now I know why. You’ve been working like a total crazy pants living and breathing this project for weeks…you’re so close to being done…but you are tired…SO SO SO tired. Here’s a look at the progress we’re making in week 3…
For the past few years, we’ve worked together as a family to make 5 different houses feel like home completing a wide range of DIY projects along the way. It hasn’t always been easy but we’ve learned how to appreciate what each family member brings to the table and that has made completing projects so much easier. Here’s a few things to keep in mind when you’re tackling DIY projects and home makeovers with your family…
As you guys know, my Dad built a set of custom bookcases for the office makeover I’m doing as a guest participant for the One Room Challenge. He’s a really talented guy so I knew he could handle it, no problem. Well, he delivered them last week and imagine by surprise when they almost reached my 9 feet ceilings. Here’s a look at how they came together…
