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, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

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! […]

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 […]

Sorry for the radio silence on Friday. We had a lot going on and it just didn’t feel right to put up a post that was happy and cheerful.  I was reeling from another school shooting that I must admit I have just become accustomed to. When I heard the news I just thought to […]

faux leather and linen pillow cover

I don’t know you, but I can’t help myself when it comes to throw pillows. I know many times your sofa can come with a set of matching or coordinating pillows, but this interior decorator is giving you permission not to use them! Donate them or simply use them as inserts and recover them with […]

off the shoulder flower bathing suit

This weekend was dreary and gray and full of rain, rain and rain. It had me daydreaming about getting a way for a little Winter or Spring escape somewhere warm and sunny! Last week I ordered bathing suits just in case a perfect trip did arise! Currently there is no trip on the horizon, but […]

I buy artwork like some people buy a cup of coffee. I truly can’t help myself. Whenever I see something pretty and unique I must snatch it up. Plus it’s always helping to have little pieces of art to style a bookcase or add to a gallery wall. My latest obsession has been finding downloadable […]

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.
