T.G.I.F! We made it through the first week of school... though both high schoolers slept though blaring alarms this morning and had to be rousted manually (i.e. by Mom) so they could get to school on time. Boo to early mornings. Yesterday I made some "Yippee!" kind of headway on the Ugly Duckling dining room, so I thought it would fun to share some little victories in what's turned out to be QUITE to undertaking.

I am totally in love with my baby spoon display in my dining room, so I thought I'd share the "how to!" It all started with these small racks I found thrifting with Charity a few weeks ago... They were $2 each and I got them for 20% off -- $6 for the four of them. :-) I've also gotten in the habit of trolling the hobby stores framing department for frames on clearance... especially open frames.

I love my space over there, because my talented editors Aimee and Danielle come up with theme for each month. My challenge is to blog within my niche (for the most part) while addressing the theme of the month. July was "Beside Restful Waters" and I had fun with that, … [Read more...]
Happy Friday, friends! It's been a crazy week -- one of those weeks where everyone needed me for something as we prep for back-to-college/school around here. Gosh I hope I get it together in the next week or so! Anyhoo, today is all about the DEAL. Who doesn't love a good deal-- especially for wall decor?? I came across this deal a few weeks ago on Decor Steals (formerly WUSLU)... I could not have imagined a more … [Read more...]

So you might actually get a bonus post later this week on more lighting! But there is definitely progress on this front, so I'll go ahead and share where I am … [Read more...]
