Rainbow of "Things"
Rainbow of "Things" Originally uploaded by lmlcphotos This picture makes me happy. I snapped it when we were driving back home after swimming in the lake to cool off! After the backyard incident. ...
Read MoreToo Tired To Blog…
Okay, a little dramatic, but it was ridiculously hard work shoveling 7 tons of gravel around in our backyard last weekend! I’m just now getting the use of my forearms back. It’s a start to our ugly, ugly backyard, but now all we need to do is 1) get the rest of the gravel out of here (they sent way, way, way too much…grr…) – we’re being creative with...
Read MoreI don't know how I did it…
…but my birthday orchid (thanks, Drea!) from 2008 is thriving! I’ve posted a couple times (here and here) on how I was waiting for it to bloom, and now almost every single bud has opened up! And this has happened in just a month!!! I’ve been keeping him (her?) in the bathroom and I love walking in every day and seeing the gorgeous blooms in the window! I think the...
Read MoreThe White (and Green) Stripes
I love our striped dining room wall. I think my favorite part about it is that it was super easy to do and it was our first attempt at painting stripes. Plus it turned out great! My husband had the genius idea of using the green from the kitchen (I thought we’d use the gray from the living room to tie it in) because they are two different finishes of paint and because our dining room...
Read MoreMy Bedroom: Breezy and Bright
Now that the weather has warmed up around here, we’ve actually been doing something that I don’t think we’ve done for 7 months — we’ve OPENED OUR WINDOWS! And in our bedroom, we actually have a really nice view and a cool breeze that sneaks in at night. It’s very peaceful and fresh. Aaahhh…it’s so nice to get some fresh air in the house. And...
Read More{Sneak Peek} Flower garden additions!
Okay, so I’m not photographing my whole “garden” for you because it looks a little sad…hopefully next year it will be more full! Plus I’m just getting started with this and I’m not a master gardener yet. So for now I took a few pics of my favorites…which are my favorites because they’re doing very well. Some are not!! My fault, though…I...
Read More{Color Therapy} Paint Color Party!
I love blog parties! I stumbled across this blog (via Hooked on Houses) called 320 Sycamore today and saw she was hosting a Paint Color Party and I just had to join! She’s asking for some paint color photo inspiration today so here goes! Here is the new “reading nook” in my living room. The walls are Ashley Gray by Benjamin Moore. This ivory wall is actually old wood...
Read MoreLove Is How We Got Her…I Mean Here…
After reading a very sweet comment from a reader, I headed over to her blog to check it out. From there I immediately bookmarked it and followed her on Twitter! The blog is called {ohbrooke} and it is just gorgeous! She’s doing some fun things with it as well, so head on over there and check it out. After you read this post, that is. The point of mentioning Brooke and her blog...
Read MoreAntique Store Score!
My dining room is finally a room that makes me happy. It started out as a tiny little bright nook with an ugly light, and now with a hand-me-down table and chairs, an eBay find, a marked-down pendant lamp, lots of wedding and Christmas gifts, a little paint and a new $50 antique store score (yippee!) it has turned into a lovely little room in our house. Here is the move-in condition –...
Read MoreAbout Me
I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
