Amazing Moments

April 15, 2013

BHG Photoshoot Sneak Peak

Moments happen every day.  Many are great, but when an amazing moment occurs, you have to just sit back and reflect (at least for a moment). The past few weeks have been a whirlwind.  I've felt every emotion possible - excitement, happiness, nervousness... all wrapped into one. I'm still pinching myself at the thought that my home, my work, will be in a magazine (actually 4 magazines).  It feels amazing that my time and creativity have been recognized by others.  It's a validating feeling like, "I did it"!  Simply put, the entire week was just surreal.   So here is the … [Read more...]

This is BIG!

March 13, 2013

sas_fe

I can not contain my excitement anymore and am bursting at the bubble to share 2 BIG announcements... First, I'm psyched to tell you that Joss and Main has asked me back for a third run at hosting an exclusive Curator Collection.  My first time hosting was last Summer and it was a blast, then in December I collaborated with 9 other past Curators for a Holiday Collection, and starting this Sunday (3/17) at 9pm will be my latest and best Collection to date. The Collection that I put together for Joss and Main last Summer was based more on my personal style, Classic Eclectic design. For … [Read more...]

Happenings on the Homestead: 2 Big Projects Comin’ Up

September 20, 2012

ClosetMaid

It's been a while since the last happenings on the homestead, and even though I share alot of personal DIY projects from around my home, I don't often share with you what's happening and what's ahead.  So let's recap a bit... June was filled with my big staircase makeover, July was bustling with tons of painting projects, and August was crazy with finishing the bookcase and the mouldings.  With open arms, I cheerfully welcomed September because it was finally time to get back into a routine of working, blogging, and DIYing!  For me, September is like a new year  - same for you? Let's … [Read more...]

Happenings on the Homestead: Where is She?

May 2, 2012

Cruise

Maybe some of you have asked yourself that very question over the past few weeks - Where is She?  With fewer posts, less DIY projects, limited social media interaction, and lots of guest posts, it may have crossed your mind that something happened to me.  Thankfully I can say nothing happened and all is well on the homefront, but the last month has been downright Chaotic (yes, with a capital C).  I literally don't know what happened to April - it skipped by within a second.  Have you ever had that? Instead of bogging down a good post, I thought I owed you or at least wanted to share … [Read more...]

Happenings on the Homestead: Weekend Updates

April 1, 2012

Orea-Cheesecake-Brownies

I hope you're having an enjoyable weekend.  It's usually quiet on the blog-front once the weekends are here because the Mister and I are often busy tackling home improvement projects or making new DIY creations.  Thankfully we've been blessed with beautiful weather the last few weekends and have had the opportunity to get a jump start on projects that we didn't plan on doing till at least the end of April or May.  This weekend though, put a snag in our plans due to the gloomy, rainy weather and slightly cold temps, but we've still been busy... I took some time yesterday to make this … [Read more...]

Home Goals for 2012 (and My Latest Mantel)

January 16, 2012

Home-Goals-2012

I know, I know...  It's the start of week number 3 of the New Year and I'm just NOW getting around to putting together my home goals for 2012.  I've had ideas brewing in my head for quite some time (which is typical for me, as you may know), but I'm finally putting my pen to paper (or should I say my fingers to the keyboard) to share them with YOU :) Upon thinking about my goals for twenty-twelve, I really want to focus on simply enjoying our home, since we'll be entering into our second year of living here next month.  My hope is to slow down and enjoy what we created (my husband and … [Read more...]

Happenings on the Homestead

Happenings-on-the-Homestead

Alot has been happening, and with the Holidays quickly approaching, projects that I had anticipated to have complete already, have been put to the side.  Ahem...my master bedroom makeover.  Were you wondering if I had finished it???  NOPE - not yet!  Instead I've been focused other things... A project for a friend... Spending time with family... Tiling a floor (for my parents)... Decorating for Christmas... So, little time has been left for my bedroom makeover.  After the window treatments went up  and a few accessories were added, little has happened.  But I am happy to say … [Read more...]
