If you could splurge on one thing in a room what would it be? For me it would be fabric. Layering a room with amazing neutral fabrics sets the tone and gives you something to build on. It can be tempting to follow the latest trends, but over the years I have found going neutral for the big ticket items pays off. Here's a look at my favorite French farmhouse fabrics. Recently a friend messaged me about two chairs left on the curb down the street from her. Bless her. Better yet, bless her ... continue reading...

Pom Pom Wreath For Fall
I love Fall. Everything about it. The warm colors, the crisp air. All the smells. Pumpkins. I mean really, it's my jam. This Fall wreath is a non technical, no expertise needed decoration that anyone can do! I'm sharing it today in hope that it will beckon a cool breeze to blow into Texas. A girl can dream. This wreath would be great in a bunch of places, like your door or mantel. Last year I decided to go simple with my Fall mantel and hung this from an empty picture frame over the ... continue reading...
Tic Tac Toe Chalkboard Butcher Block
This Tic Tac Toe game made out of a butcher block is a fun and easy weekend project. This little darling started in the same manner as most things around here do... Me at an Estate Sale. Eyeballing something I don't need and have no use for. But it's $1 and I can't pass it up. My mom asks, "what in the world are you going to do with that?" I reply, "I have no idea." I could literally cut and paste that scenario into almost every blog post. A semi-small hoarder like stash ... continue reading...
Eyeglass Holder With A Pinpoint Purpose In Life
It's hard to admit, but 40 did a number on my eyes. My whole life I'm the girl you wanted to have with you when hunting...for deer or treasures. But 40. Now "cheaters" help blurry words come to life on the page. Having a need for cheaters brings on a whole other problem....being able to find said glasses when they are needed. As I worked on coming up with a creative solution to this dilemma it brought to mind a trip I took last year. When I visited Brenham, Texas on a girl's trip with my ... continue reading...
A Book Full of Freedom
Last summer I had the incredible opportunity to attend the She Speaks conference put on by the Proverbs 31 Ministry team. If you are not familiar with Proverbs 31, they are a large non-denominational ministry focused on bringing women into relationship with Christ. Every morning one of their devotionals slides into my mail box with a daily dose of what the doctor ordered. I adore everything they do. Devouring my daily dose has lead me to feel as if I am BFF's with this God lovin' group of ... continue reading...
DIY Baseball Bat Rack Storage Solution
The heat of summer is in full swing at our house! Having the kids home all the time has really pushed me to tackle some organizing projects. There is stuff everywhere 24/7. This DIY baseball bat rack has been a great solution for our sporting goods arsenal. When we bought our house it needed MAJOR renovations.

How to get an Authentic Looking Makeover
It felt like I drove past it 50 times. This blue Adirondack chair buried under boxes on the curb waiting for bulk trash day. It was between our house and the baseball park where all three of my kids had practices and games, so you know we were really burning up the road between the two. I kept waiting for it to be gone, just knowing someone else would grab it. Days passed. Finally, my son and I pulled over to check it out.I figured there must be something wrong with it if no one had taken it ... continue reading...

Our yard is a magical place. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that gets excited about all the treasures that rotate through this little piece of land we call home.

Each person in my family has a different element that speaks to them. Today I am going to share with you what my family sees in our space. My sweet ... continue reading...
