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, […]

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

Budget Friendly Bar Carts

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 […]

Backyard Deck Reveal!

So my first encounter with blogger Sarah of La Jeune Marie could have gone one of two ways. Either she would think I was nutty and try to block me from her site or we would become great friends. I’m so happy that it’s turned out to be the latter. You see when I first […]

IN HER SHOES: LA JEUNE MARIE

I always want what I can’t have. Isn’t this the case for many ladies out there? Especially in the high-end world of  home interiors it’s hard not to fall in love with items that will break the bank. Since my budget these days is not like it use to be I can only dream about […]

Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget

I don’t know what it is, but I have a strong love and affection for all things that are British. I’ve never even visited London, but I feel like I have with all the books that fill my shelves describing life in England along with of course everyone’s favorite, Love Actually making an appearance every […]

Look kids, Big Ben! Parliament!

Well I’m sure I still have paint somewhere on my body, but yesterday afternoon I finished painting the Florida Room.   To recap this is what the room looked like when we first moved in:     We lived with it that way more or less for pretty much a year and half. It just […]

Home Improvement: Florida Room

So the lovely, stylish, talented and world traveler Alek is off on vacation with her hubs to Paris! I imagine that she is enjoying the  sights, shopping lots and eating even more baked goods. Of course I’m totally jealous. I’ve always wanted to go to Paris and let’s just say it’s not high on Jon’s […]

Forget Paris

Ah does everyone remember that I mentioned on Friday’s post that I didn’t really have anything going on this weekend? Well due to that this nutty lady woke up Sunday morning and decided that she was tired of seeing the Florida room the same exact way for a year and half. You see we always […]

Home Improvements

Low-key weekend?

I can’t tell you how exciting it was to receive an email from Alison of My little happy place asking me to participate in a post she was putting together on designer/decorators personal homes. Woo hoo! How thrilling to be included with a group of women that I truly admire. I knew exactly what room […]

about me

With a lemon twist…

You’ve heard me say it before, but I have to say it again. I think I was meant to live in the south. I love those beautiful houses with their wrap around porches, monograms, and all that wonderful southern hospitality! Another reason for my desire to be a Southern belle and all the reasons that […]

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.
