It's the first day of fall! I so love this time of year - fall is the beginning of so many fun things! I updated my kitchen and living room decor to a more neutral pre-fall look back at the beginning of the month, and that made my fall decorating a breeze! I kept the… Continue reading Fall Decorating At My House

It’s Such A Good Feeling…To Come Home
"When you come into your home, it should give you a certain feeling. You get to decide what that feeling is." Although I can't remember who I heard say that, the truth stuck with me. When people come into my home, what kind of feeling should it give them? I thought for a moment and… Continue reading It’s Such A Good Feeling…To Come Home
Decorating For September
The only time I miss living in the Midwest is late summer and early fall. Growing up in Indiana, we were in sweatshirts and flannel (it was the 1990's after all!) by the end of September. We spent the mornings and evenings with the windows open, enjoying the crisp fall air. It's 96 degrees on this September… Continue reading Decorating For September
Do Something
What do you do when you're completely overwhelmed by a task? Last week I experienced several days of pounding headaches - due to the extreme heat and high barometric pressure that accompanies this time of year. I felt good as long as I was sitting perfectly still. There's not a lot of housework that can… Continue reading Do Something

She's great at putting together outfits that are so cute… Continue reading Outfit Inspiration – My Sister Visits The Blog!
Adding Texture – Grapevine Wreath in the Dining Room
Happy Wednesday! Yesterday I decided to hang a grapevine wreath from the antique window in my dining area. It took me more than one try to get it up there (the cats got tired of me dropping it and hid under the bed all afternoon). I thought I'd share how I did it...in case you're… Continue reading Adding Texture – Grapevine Wreath in the Dining Room
Keeping It Real
Keeping it real is such a popular thing to say, isn't it? The phrase is usually followed by some type of confession, like "My couch is covered with last week's clean laundry" or "Supper wasn't about to happen, so I fed my children Cheerios and fruit punch last night. Just keeping it real." It might follow a confession that… Continue reading Keeping It Real
The Cat Owner’s Struggle to Keep The House Clean
If you have pets, you know that keeping the house clean and smelling fresh requires some effort. I have two indoor cats that shed an insane amount for short hair cats! While we love our fur babies, I'm aware that not everyone who enters our home will share our adoration for all things feline (bless their… Continue reading The Cat Owner’s Struggle to Keep The House Clean
How to Enjoy Living in an Ugly Home – Part Two
Yesterday I shared my tips for enjoying your time in an ugly home by enhancing the spaces you love. If your situation is anything like mine was (renting a furnished apartment decorated by someone with extremely different taste from my own), enhancing a few nice things isn't quite enough.
