Our Prayer List…words to live by day to day

by Michelle, in category decorating, our home

This adorable Prayer List chalk board is hanging in our kitchen.  We have had this little chalkboard for sometime and it was made by a talented man/friend I have blogged about earlier (he custom makes them).

Plain black table…turned rustic!

by Michelle, in category decorating, DIY, our home

This is the small buffet table we have in our kitchen.  I bought this table unfinished years ago from the Mill Stores and painted it red.  Then more recently black.  I never polyurethane it however and anything we put on it would leave annoying scuff marks…that bugged me. I decided to strip and sand the… Read More

I wanted to redo our first floor bathroom, again.  This is the 5th time I have done this bathroom over.  I know it sounds crazy, but it’s the one we use most often and I tend to get tired of the same ole’ same ole’ after a while, it’s just me. So, here was my… Read More

Yup, it’s ugly…

by Michelle, in category decorating, DIY, our home

But I kinda like it.  The old bright yellow antique cabinet in our kids bathroom has a new look.  This is what it looked like for years (picture is a bit grainy…) Cute and colorful right?  It was and it matched the fun fish shower curtain and the colorful valance, I guess just got sick… Read More

An antique shutter with a new purpose.

by Michelle, in category Christmas, decorating, DIY, inspiration, our home

Our home was originally built in the 1950’s.  We have had 4 major renovations, including adding an entire 2nd floor and a complete home renovation prior to our wedding (and, BTW, our reception was held in our yard before it was complete…that’s a story for another time).  Our most recent overhaul was 2 years ago.… Read More

Our newly numbered stairs…

by Michelle, in category decorating, DIY, inspiration, numbered stairs, our home

For some time now, I have been wanting to stencil the risers on our small, narrow staircase leading to our upstairs.  Originally I thought about doing something nautical or beach themed since our home is very much coastal inspired, however I just couldn’t seem to find the perfect stencil.  I wanted simple and clean, not… Read More

Enjoying Hydrangeas all year long…

by Michelle, in category decorating, DIY, hydrangeas, inspiration, our home

Hydrangeas are my very FAVORITE flower of all time and this summer we were thrilled to have hundreds, maybe even thousands of beautiful periwinkle, deep blue and lavender bulbs all along our driveway, walkway and our deck.  All summer long I would cut these beautiful round balls of petals and put them in vases and… Read More
