about me

I not only decorate, but I give out advice too!

Come check me out today over at Makeunder my life where I took part in Jess’s weekly series called Design your life.

I gave out my little two cents on how I run my life.

One of my intentions is to act silly at least once a day!

See here I am acting silly in Rome, because Jon was driving me crazy with the camera and I was tired of waiting for my gelato!

Go check it out and let me know what you think!

    That was a fun read and some really great advice. I totally agree with the last part – aren't dogs the best? My two pups keep me sane and there's nothing like squeezing the little creatures to make everything better. 🙂

    Ok first of all that picture of you in the tree is beau TI ful! And second of all I feel like we are long lost realitives or something, the way you described yourself regarding being happy and taking charge, and being the mother, and in college how you stayed in, seriously maybe we were seperated at birth?!?

    I just put a sticky note on my computer at work to become more of a DO ER, if I want something I need to make it happen because it wont just be handed to me- so THANK YOU!!!!

    You rock! xoxoxoxo

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.
