Carpet’s Dirty Little Secret
When we bought our ranch, we originally wanted to have all wood floors in the house. We intended on using area rugs to warm up the rooms. Then we moved into our rental which has all woods floors and zero carpet. We haven’t bought any rugs for the place because I’d rather not spend the…

Inspiration Saturday 10/24/15
Just the other day I was thinking about design. I was thinking about those people who have said to me they’re “just not creative.” I had a girlfriend last week who told me she just can’t think of ideas for decorating her house. I’ve also watched my own husband struggle with imagining what our new…

Inspiration Saturday 09/12/15
It’s Saturday again! As you may know I’m in love with design. I can spend an entire day looking at everything from home decor sites and magazines to Pinterest and Houzz. It’s my serious time waster. However, I never feel like I’m wasting time because I’m constantly being inspired and getting so many great ideas.…

Inspiration Saturday 07/15/15
It’s Saturday and I’m starting to feel like I’m at home in the new place. After the mad rush over the last two months of selling our house and moving out, it’s finally time to relax a bit. I feel like I may be taking the relax part way too seriously though. I’m feeling pretty…

Sangria!

Another week down and here we are at Saturday! My inspiration today is going to be all about concrete floors. One of the reoccurring problems that keeps coming up in the sale of our house is I’m being told we don’t have flooring and everyone wants wood flooring. I’m trying to get my head around the…

Inspiration Saturday 06/06/15
Over the last four weeks I’ve written numerous entries on motherhood and parenting, but I can’t seem to complete a single one. I’ve been waiting to complete one so I can start blogging again. However, sometimes we have to put certain things on the shelf in order to move passed the place we are stuck…

Just a Week in the Life.
Boy, has it been busy here. I felt like I wasn’t busy until I looked back over the week and was surprised to see what I had done. First of all, we did the monthly pile-up all the school work to turn it in to the office. These weeks are always busy because we have…

Master Bedroom Update
Every now and then I like to look back at some of the inspiration posts and update the blog with some of the ideas that have become projects. On this post, called Grass Cloth I wrote about possibly using grass cloth on the wall behind my bed. Since we are still planning on selling our house,…

Sweet Valentine!
As I’ve said before, I LOVE Valentine’s Day! I love the color and sparkle, and hearts! I’ve never really had any Valentine’s decorations though. Last year, Emma and I decided to make some decorations that we could just throw around the house. We went through all my old scrapbooking papers and pulled many, pinks, reds…

Having a Blue Christmas…
I got the house decorated right after Thanksgiving weekend. I was thinking, if we sell our house this year, this could be the last year I ever decorate here for Christmas. If that’s the case I really wanted to have pictures. I’d like to have memories of all our Christmases here. I’ve taken photos before…
