Christmas Mantel & Tree 2015

December 1, 2015

It’s that time of year, when the Christmas home tours are hopping and inspiration is abounding on the web for holiday decorating!  Truth be told, I’m not much for holiday decorating, Christmas is the biggest one I decorate for but besides that, I just have a hard time getting into it.  I thought it would […]

Living Room Paint Chat

December 8, 2014

Almost three years ago I started painting over all the beige walls in our home and my choice was Gray Owl because it was a light gray with a hint of green/blue in it.  I can’t believe how much this room has changed in the past few years.  It seems so small in this pic […]

My Christmas Mantel 2012

December 4, 2012

It is finished, the mantel is done, put a bow on it and check that baby off the list.  Last week the mantel looked like this, thanks to my camera phone for capturing the pics.  We tried switching the wreath and bow out but then the wreath landed on the hearth and balls went everywhere. […]

December 21, 2011

Last week we spent a few hours making cookies together as a family.  It was fun and we even tried out a new to us recipe.  The deadly Peanut Butter Cups which are surrounded by yummy Peanut Butter Cookie cup goodness.   I used this recipe if you want to make these too but don’t blame […]

Christmas Entryway & Banister

December 16, 2011

Can you believe there are only 9 days until Christmas?  I haven’t felt much like decking the halls here at the new place, mostly because I am too focused on putting rooms together, like our Master Bedroom which is still in an incomplete state and let’s not forget all the oak trim waiting to be painted! […]

Stenciled Burlap Tree Skirt for $8

December 15, 2011

Good Morning Lovely People! Can you believe there are only 10 days until Christmas? I am mostly done with my shopping but you know how that goes. On a side note, I am eating buttered popcorn while typing this post so excuse the spelling errors, it’s from my buttery fingers on the keyboard. Today I […]

Covert Operation Christmas Gift has begun!

December 13, 2011

Hello, it’s me Ange, playing Santa’s elf today.   I bet you hardly recognized me, right?  I know, clever disguise.  This is a covert blog post, I don’t think my kids usually read my blog but you never know!   My children have been asking for a play kitchen since we moved and it even ended up […]
