So our stormy weather blasted through, flipped our BBQ over (yup, it’s toast), knocked our power out, and did in one of our mega UPS battery power bars… so glad we had the UPS though, or it could’ve been the audio equipment instead
Guess why this folding screen caught my eye…

Let’s just say I’m ready for some sunshine and colour! Bright, cheerful, playful and dry!
Since I’ve got you looking at the folding screen, I decided to share a few more. I know they’re nothing new, but they . . . → Read More: Change It Up… One-Two-Three

I know by now you’ve seen Kaleigh’s room evolve post (as in article) after post after post, and then a post or two more… but that’s because we’re focusing on her room the most!
So this is the wall we’re working on now.
Once the mirror was hung up we knew there would be more wall space to cover, but the wall application Kaleigh wanted was engineered as a Christmas surprise for her. So that’s why it’s not finished just yet.
And my friend Danielle Hardy from Urban Walls just happened to be in on the surprise. Danielle helped . . . → Read More: Kaleigh’s Room… More Changes

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, and are still enjoying the Holiday Season!
I have taken a few days to spend time with my family, slow down a little, and just soak everything in. And I have had an awesome time so far! I can’t wait to share some of the highlights with you.
So on that note, let’s start with this highlight. Imagine my surprise, and shriek of delight when I woke up this morning to a message from Nancy of Marcus Design telling me I was the lucky winner of her Christmas giveaway! Did I . . . → Read More: Lucky Winner I Am! ‘Postmodernity’ by Nancy Marcus

I know this DIY project is not a new idea, but I’ve been wanting to cover this bulletin board for a long time now.
It’s a basic cork board, and until this point the only upgrade was clear-coating the wooden frame. And that was done almost a year ago, but then we moved and the rest of the project fell by the wayside. In fact, I wasn’t even sure where, or if it would be hung up after we moved in.
But we have this spot right outside our office that is pretty bare.
I’ve contemplated different . . . → Read More: DIY Bulletin Board Makeover

Not too long ago I entered a ‘giveaway‘ over at Row House Nest with Wooden Spoon Editions… and was the lucky winner of a fab sand dollar print.
Well, I just received it in the mail yesterday, and first let me just say that the print is as fab in person as it looks on line.
Wanna see?
Don’t mind my lighting – it’s showing a little too bright, but I bet you can look past that and see what I’m talking about, right? Oh, the print is just the white, not all the rocks!
I’m really looking forward to . . . → Read More: Packaging Perfection!

Here we go. It’s December 1st. Are you ready for the ride?
Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but I can’t believe it’s December 1st already! And so that means today is the first day for advent calendars. Did you manage to put one up?
I got ours all filled and ready to go…
But when I went to hang it up I realized I didn’t know where it should go! This is the first year for us in this home, and I never really gave the calendar location much thought!
So I wandered around, and tried to . . . → Read More: Advent Calendar Day!

Ever wonder how a tradition came to be?
I thought it would be fun to take a look into Christmas card past. Just curious, are you writing cards this year?
With this fast paced electronic world, the tradition of mailing out Christmas cards is slowing year by year, but there was a time when the cards one received could paper a wall! The cost of postage is literally tipping the scales in favor of e-cards and emailed Christmas letters, not to mention the time delay with mailing that we are just not used to anymore. I’m not standing in . . . → Read More: Christmas Cards – Where Did They Come From?

Do you ever enter any of the give-aways offered on some of the blogs you read? I do, but I never really think for a second that I’ll win. I like to enter because it gives me a chance to share blogs I read with others, and I also get introduced to new blogs this way too!
So when Meagan (Meee-gann!) from Row House Nest posted a give-away opportunity the other day, I was all in.

Yesterday I walked you through the latest progress in Kaleigh’s room…
And today I’m sharing some of the tips and strategies for how we arrived at the photo arrangement on the feature wall behind her bed.
Once again, here is the ‘before’ photo of the wall space.
And another photo illustrating how we had to shift the bed over to be positioned more effectively on that wall.
The window and the mirror act as frames for the wall space. So for the bed placement to make sense, it needed to be more centered between the two. And . . . → Read More: DIY Tips for ART-ful Presentation!
