Who is the most innovative team in the country? Uh, this guy and his team on HGTV’s Elbow Room! Why yes, yes that is me with Chip Wade and Cristi Holcombe! Well, what do you think, wouldn’t I make the perfect addition to the team? *heh heh* Oh come on, I’m creative… So if you […]
Etsy Love – Rosyeco
 I joke that I was Eco friendly well before it was popular, and I’ve been a long time fan of pure chemical free materials. Sufficed to say, I was pretty excited to run across this shop that used natural hemp cloth, then add some of my favorite mod designs, and I am sold! I’m […]
The Front Door That Hits Me On My Way Out
 If the multi-toned yellow, beige, and pink walls in my hallways aren’t bad enough, the sage front door really hits you on the way out…and not in a good way. It’s time to break out the paint, in a really big way. I love a great paint-over, in half a day you can have an […]
Etsy Love – Lavinia’s Craft Shop
When a friend of mine recently added entrepreneur to her title of wife and homeschooling super-mom, I could relate to the excitement, anxiety, and hopefulness of such a new venture. Which is why I was thrilled to to lend my photography skills to help her set up shop…well that and any excuse to play house […]
It’s Headboard Week At Remodelaholic!
 Today I’m excited to be over at Remodelaholic sharing an easy door-turn-headboard tutorial! I love the idea of dressing up a bed, then throwing myself right into the midst of it’s beautiful comfort. The best way to have a well dressed bed? Start with a headboard! Don’t just think of headboards as style, think of […]
Pinspired Entry to Hallway Spaces
In my opinion hallways are valuable real estate and should be treated as such, that means I want to make the most of it! I may not always be able to use my halls for storage, but always the gallery lover, I believe halls can sport oodles and oodles of gorgeous art at the very least! […]

Last Year’s Deck Garden
Are you enjoying gardening season? After a long frigid winter, I am positively reveling in summer weather! Our deck garden is coming along nicely and I can’t wait until everything fills in and plants start really producing. A reader emailed asking if I gave a garden tour last year. Well it turns out that I […]
New Cabinet Pulls Are On!
Uuuuuuhhhgg. Nothing is worst than reaching a hand out to open a cabinet and pulling it away sticky. Well, it’s one of the unavoidable messes of having kids…sticky pulls, and dirty fingerprint smudges along wall edges. Clorox wipes are a constant staple in this house for wiping up walls and cabinets knobs & pulls. That […]
My Rather Alluring Floors
Whooohoo! Happy birthday to me! I just scored 3 boxes of Traffic Master Allure Ultra in Aegean Travertine at $58 a box, down from the regular $78 per box. I walked into Home Depot (my 2nd home), and there they were…right in the middle of the aisle with a big sign that might as well […]
Who Needs Art In a Laundry Room? Me!
“Oh for the love of mercy, I’m the daughter of an artist!”… yep, that was my retort to my husbands quizzical eye-brow arch at my desperate search for wall art for a laundry room. I could read the question in his eyes, why did I have need for art in a room I barely spend time […]

Pinspired Laundry Rooms
I hate doing laundry, but the mounds of laundry that haunt me daily sure seems to have a love affair with me. As much time as I spend in the dreaded laundry room I figure it should be both functional and pleasing to be in. Time for a little laundry room inspiration… I love peeking […]
The Living Room That Wasn’t…
I’ve shown you a million small projects I’ve done to makeover my living room (a million being only a slight exaggeration…well it feels like only a slight exaggeration…I’m exhausted!), and by now you’re probably eager to see the finished results! Bad news…my living room is as ornery as ever and simply refuses to be finished.
