Recently, while trolling my friend Craigslist I found an old office credenza for $35.00 here I’m sure these pop up on Craigslist fairly often and they can easily be looked over. However, with such simple lines and flat faces it’s a great piece for an O’verlay. O’verlays are fretwork panels that can be added to furniture to [...]

Black out
Posted in Home Improvement, Inspiration, Outdoors, tagged black, black front door, front door, painted black on March 28, 2012 | 5 Comments »
Since the kitchen renovation is not going as planned, we decided last weekend to conquer smaller projects to make us feel better. We’re way behind on letting you know what’s going on in the kitchen due to a mixture of me being on the road more than usual, this being The Mister’s busy season at [...]

Our kitchen cabinets will be installed on Thursday and Friday of this week. We have a lot of posts to write to let you know how we decided on what and what we did. One of the last things for us will be the backsplash. Since Monday was a holiday, I gave you a post [...]
Inspiration: Marble Backsplash

We’re in the midst of making kitchen decision and still have our backsplash to worry about. We’ve looked at a number of options and plan to do something we can DIY. Should it be DIO (do-it-ourselves) opposed to DIY (do-it-yourself)? Get back to me on that after you look at this eye candy. I tried to focus the photos [...]
Raggedy Ann and Andy Party Inspriation
Posted in Family/Friends, Inspiration, Parties, tagged First birthday party, Raggedy Andy, Raggedy Ann on October 26, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Our niece is turning one and her party is Raggedy Ann and Andy themed. Personally, I’m very excited about this as I loved Raggedy Ann. This was likely because I was envious of her red hair, but we’ll move on. I’m not in charge of anything at said party, nor do I have any say so. However, I am [...]
Front porch pergola inspiration

We are considering our options for replacing our front porch. Originally, we considered replacing it with a pergola. However, we wanted something more traditional. So, we’ve received some estimates for putting up a gabled roof. The cost is surprising. So, we’re back at pergola considerations. Here are some of our inspiration photos: Have any of you ever [...]
Terrorism
Posted in Family/Friends, Inspiration, Love on September 9, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Ten years ago the word “terrorism” wasn’t tangible, or considered, by most Americans. Yet, as we all know, that has changed. It is hard to believe that ten years have passed since 9/11/01. There is a part of me that wants to soak in a bunch of footage. However, I know myself. I know that [...]

This weekend is a sales tax holiday in Tennessee. While you are out purchasing school supplies Sharpies, glitter and electronics I encourage you to think of children that are in need of supplies. As you know, I was teacher. The Nashville Rescue Mission has a school supply wish list for their Shelter for Women and Children. [...]
Sketchy
Posted in Dining, Inspiration, tagged dining room, doodle, floorplan, graph paper, sketch on July 22, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I love graph paper. Seriously. We get along really well and always have. My mother used to purchase graph paper for me and I would sketch for hours. I would sketch room layouts and houses. Usually, I’d draw out the house floor plans and then I laid out each room. I remember drawing many houses with large, [...]
If you build it…
Posted in Dining, Inspiration on July 20, 2011 | 4 Comments »
You get two posts today because we have a carpenter coming by to check out our dining room. If you believe this sounds familiar it is because this post started the same way. Unfortunately, we chose that carpenter. He kept having “other projects.” He would be on the road. He kept moving our timeline. He moved [...]
