So, I realized after I was going through all my photos for this post, that I'm missing some :( So sad. And I didn't get any photos of us having Easter at our house. Oh well, I guess there is always next year right? Anyways, we have a fairly large row of forsythia bushes in front of our house, so after gathering all my yellow tulips and daffodils, I headed out front to fill in the gaps with a bunch of their branches. ...

{Spring Burlap Wreath}
Well, even though I made this a few weeks back, I still wanted to share my spring wreath(s) with all of you :) I totally have a love for burlap. The texture and the color get me every time. For a while a really wanted burlap throw cushions for our living room, but we do a lot (LOTS) of laying around on the couch, and my husband already complains about the pillows with the beads...(Pier 1 score years ago, and I still love them!), so scratchy just wouldn't go over well. So I added it elsewhere, and first place was this wreath. I followed the tutorial over at Top This Top That, I was totally inspired, gathered all my supplies, and off I was... or so I thought? I already had burlap, and ... Read More about {Spring Burlap Wreath}

To Paint or Not to Paint?
Well, it's been pretty cloudy here this past week, which doesn't help when you are trying to take indoor photos. I was really hoping to get some taken of the living room rug and lamps I got to show you that progress, and then this past weekend the chair rail went up in the dining room, and it totally dresses the room up, but also makes for some painting dilemmas. Which leads me to my next question: "To paint, or not to paint?" I need your HELP!!!! In the form of feedback, PLEASE :) ... Read More about To Paint or Not to Paint?

~POP Pants~
Well, that's what Old Navy has them down as...Pop Pants.These lovely colorful jeans you see just about everywhere right now.There all over the racks.So, what are your thoughts on this hot trend right now?!At first, I wasn't a huge fan, then I was on the edge,and now I'm in love. Really liking the watermelon and coral colored ones.Although the green ones have caught my eye too.There is still a small thought that runs through my head for a brief moment saying"Oh.My.Gosh this is so 80's I don't think I can do it."But here's a photo of "present" day SJP totally pulling off the colored jeans:And here she is circa 1983*ish :So I guess if she can get over it, I can try to as well.What are your ...
