Being a blogger, my house evolves a lot. I rotate things in and out, get rid of the things I don’t like or am tired of, and get new things here and there. Here is how the room began. You can see more of the original room HERE. I decided the wall was too busy, so […]
Christmas All Through the House
I’ve shown you several Christmas posts so far this year. We’ve decorated the living room, the kitchen, the dining room, and the porch, but there are a few rooms I didn’t get to. I wanted to show you how I decorated those rooms that are often left out of the Christmas fun. Let’s start with […]
Christmas on the Porch
Today I’m on the porch. It’s cold and rainy and dreary. And when I say cold I mean it’s 53 degrees F. Yes I’m a Texan, and this is cold for us. I’ve lived in PA, where it gets much colder, but here the winters are very mild. I’ve used my husband’s old sled on my front […]

The BEST Christmas Mantel Ideas
I don’t know about you, but I am always amazed by the creativity and lavish Christmas displays I see at Christmas-time around blogland. I love looking at them. I enjoy seeing them so much, but I prefer a light touch when it comes to holiday decorating in my home. I love to collect, but don’t have […]
Our Mountain Deck Redo
Today I am back on our mountain deck. Well not literally. I’m showing photos of it so I can show you another transformation. Of course I always need a before photo, and this one works perfectly. Our deck did not have any stain or protective coating on it, so we needed to take care of […]
