HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

Fountain of Youth

One of my favorite parts of getting Glamour magazine every month is reading their, “Hey, it’s okay sections”. I always get a little laugh, because normally I’m guilty of at least one the items on their list. In my December issue I found something I was guilty of that made me realize that I’m not […]

Hey, it’s okay…

Another one of my all-time favorite movies is…. CENTERSTAGE! I remember waiting on a very long line for this movie my freshman year of college. The line was well worth it. We all left the theater in love with dance even more and wanting to take some salsa lessons. While this isn’t an Oscar worthy […]

A while back when I asked for some feedback on how to gain new clients I was given the advice to auction off my services by Marianne. The opportunity then presented itself to have my services auctioned at an event being held by my friend, Liz’s mother so that was an additional piece to the […]

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
