If you are going to drive a Range Rover, buy like you own a Range Rover!
Ever have those moments where you just go huh? Really? It happened to me this weekend. I was standing in line at my favorite home decor store behind a woman who was heavily negotiating down prices that she was purchasing.

Something I actually made without Pinterest inspiration
There is SO much inspiration on Pinterest, sometimes I wonder if it makes me not be as creative as I used to be when I didn’t have Pinterest. Anyone else feel that way? Last month I was pining a lot of Christmas inspiration ideas on Pinterest, and of course I ran out of time to [...]
Christmas Subway Style Sign
I am getting to know my Silhouette machine a little better. It really is a fun machine to play with, especially to make signs. Which I recently did this last weekend, and I must say, it is addicting once you get the hang of it. Subway style Christmas signs and printables are all over blogland [...]

The twice re-do bergere chairs
I must start off with a confession. I stupidly volunteered to re-upholstered these bergere chairs. I was naive, to say the least, thinking I could easily re-upholster these type of chairs.

Chandelier and tips on styling accessories
Whew that is one long title for this post! I finally got a chandelier for the guest house, it has been installed for probably a month, but every time I go to take a picture, it is the wrong time of day. I just can’t seem to get a decent picture of how it [...]
