Here’s a little refresher on life in our home. We purchased this house in late June of 2011. There was pretty much oak and beige covering all the walls and trim/cabinets.

Little A’s Vintage Inspired Bedroom
Remember way back in the beginning of March when I posted about my youngest daughter’s bedroom? Originally I was thinking an orange and pink look would be really spot on for her but when I asked her what she would pick for her room, she came up with pale pink and pale yellow. No […]

I posted a few quick pics of our family room a few weeks ago but I’ve made a few changes since then. First off, I actually sort of did the mantle. The Martha Stewart Starburst mirror from Home Depot for $35 was one of my best purchases for this room, I love it! It makes […]

I’m Done Playing Musical Furniture (for now)
Good Morning Friends! I am feeling about 95% today which is a lot better than I felt last week. I did muster up enough strength to play Musical Furniture and score some free coffee tables but the rest of the time I was doing a whole lot of nothing. Unless you count blowing my nose […]
Musical Furniture Friday Fun, check it out y’all
After painting the family room, kitchen and entry way BM Gray Owl this week, I thought maybe it was time to allow Ektorp back in to the family room. She had been banished to the basement for a while but I was missing her whiteness in my life. It also helps that I found an […]
