Hello my friends! We have definitely been experiencing May showers the past few days here in Kansas! While we can use the rain, this week, unfortunately, is the week we were having our house painted! Needless to say ... that's not happening! As you know, the Decor Enthusiasts girls and myself have a monthly themed challenge, and this month's theme is outdoor projects. Since the outside of my house desperately needs repainted, I decided I didn't want to expose you to that eyesore, and ... VIEW POST
Easy Spring Floral Wreath
Decorating with Baskets
Hello my friends! Today, my Decor Enthusiasts friends and I are talking about decorating with baskets. I have mentioned in the past that the majority of my decorating decor is upcycled. I get bored with my decor pretty quickly and like to change it out often, so I don't like to spend a lot of money on it. Baskets are no exception. As far a baskets go, estate sales, thrift stores and yard sales are your best bet for getting them for next to nothing. I also shop the clearance ... VIEW POST
2016 Christmas Home Tour
Happy Friday my friends! Can you believe it's only 16 days until Christmas? Where has the time gone? Speaking of time flying by, we are heading up to K-State today to go on a campus tour. The unnamed child will be getting her associate's degree in the spring and is looking for a state school to move on to. Not sure this mama is ready for her to go that far away! While she's still here, I'm making sure to really be present and enjoy our holiday together. One of our favorite Christmas ... VIEW POST
Neutral Christmas Mantel
Hello my friends! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in Kansas! It is bone chillingly cold here today. It gives me the perfect excuse to stay inside and get some work done and some Christmas wrapping started. I have some Michael Buble Christmas music going and a hot cup of cocoa. The pups are trying to help me wrap, and they are less than helpful. I'm a little behind on showing you my Christmas decor this year. Honestly my tree hasn't changed much since it's so expensive ...

Little Girl Bedroom Ideas
Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a nasty virus all weekend ... but on the bright side I got a lot of work on the computer finished. I'm sure most of you know by now that Nordstrom is hosting their Anniversary Sale, where they take all of their new arrivals and temporarily mark them down. It's their biggest sale of the year, and sale prices are good through the 7th, but jump back up to normal on the 8th. I was really surprised to see how many home decor ... VIEW POST
Decorating with Thrifty and Vintage Finds
Hello my friends! I'm so excited about this month's monthly challenge, which is Decorating with Thrifty and Vintage Finds. If you follow my blog at all, you know that this one is near and dear to my heart. My hubby and I got married young, which meant we had zero money when we started out. Back then, I decorated with vintage pieces and vintage furniture that I picked up at yard sales out of necessity ... not because it was the trendy thing to do. Back then I would be jealous of my friends' ... VIEW POST
So In Love With My New Plate Wall
Hello my friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours was pretty mellow. I tried to take Topher to see a movie for Father's Day, but unfortunately it was a freaking zoo there, so we bought tickets but then couldn't find any seats ... so we got our money back. I did take him out to dinner though. The movie will have to wait until next weekend. As you all know, I have been repainting the interior of my house, and the exciting part of finishing it is getting to put up some new decor. ... VIEW POST
