Christmas 2020 is in the books and after a break from social media and the blog I’m back with renewed energy to kick off 2021 rested and my cup full from spending lots of time with the family. This year many gifts were exchanged (the “dads” got the biggest surprise), piles of food consumed (the …
My last blog post of 2020! As you can imagine, the week has been a whirlwind of cooking, cleaning, decorating and working. I’m ready for a much needed break and with all all the college kids home for the holiday and some out of state family visiting I’m putting away the phone and computer and …
I finally finished putting up all the holiday decorations around the house this week Woo hoo! One more item checked off the to-do list! I feel like I’m behind but I think that is just the weight of knowing Christmas is next week and I still have work, shopping, wrapping and cleaning to do this …
Putting the finishing touches on the house holiday decor and another TO-DO project checked off the never-ending list. One thing that didn’t even make the TO-DO list this year is holiday cards. I’ve decided to forego the tradition this year. Why I’m not sending out Christmas cards you ask? Well, let me tell ya the …

Another weekend and another bathroom update! Been helping my sister in law Suzy with some room updates in her home. So far, we have completely transformed two of her bathrooms for under $200 each! Check out the bathroom we transformed last week HERE. Most recently, we updated the master bathroom. In this room we did …
Bold. Elegant. Colorful. Three reasons why I love chinoiserie pottery and decor. Pronounced sheen-waa-zr-ee which is French for Chinese inspired design, art and decor. It’s understatedly bold, provides a pop of intense color (I love the blue and white together) and it works well with just about any existing decor. It adds to any room …
Spent another Saturday doing a DIY on a dime room update. This time, it wasn’t my home. I’m running out of rooms to update over here anyway!! My sister in law Suzy asked me to assess her home for some budget friendly updates. Her and her husband plan to sell their home within the next …
