It’s a new week! New opportunities await!

Have you started decking the halls? Our neighborhood started welcoming the season the day after Halloween. One by one the homes are putting on their Christmas best and it’s such a happy sight to see.

I’m waiting to do the exterior but I have broke out the jingle bells and I’m contemplating spinning a few mood setting records today.

I do feel a little torn because I love Thanksgiving and gathering as a family. Our Thanksgiving will look a little different this year... I know you can relate. We will be wrapping up our quarantine. My husband has been fighting the “rona”. He is doing good and we are so grateful. I have had to keep him isolated from us. I have been sanitizing and keeping everything as clean as possible. Thankfully my son and I are doing well. The last few weeks have been on the tougher side - hence the pull toward the positive and making things merry and bright. 😊

This was my mantle from last year. I love happy color. I’m dreaming up something a tad different this year but reusing and repurposing what I have on hand.

So, what about you? Have you started dreaming of a white Christmas ? Are the stockings hung?

This ORC has been a bit more challenging than the others. I know many have felt the same way.

But...

This room will be completed and it will be a stunner. I’m down to the last details including building 2 floating half round bedside tables.

I have been reading and finding so much inspiration from my fellow designer/bloggers @oneroomchallenge rooms. I encourage you to head over the one room challenge.com site and see what I’m talking about. 😊

I hope your day is filled with every good and wonderful thing! I’m personally counting every blessing during this time. Finding and focusing on the good in every situation. Please take care of yourselves and those around you. ❤️

Happy Saturday my friends.

We are all needing a little Christmas, right this very minute… remember that from Auntie Mame (1956, with Rosalind Russell)?

Nothing better to get into the Christmas spirit than a few good movies! Today, I’m sharing my Golden Era Christmas movie must-watch list.

I am a huge Golden Era/Age movie buff and this list contains a few of my most favorite movies...ever.

It is also a part of the #festivechristmasideas home tour going on. All the tours links are on the website.

Our weekend will be filled with wrapping up our Fall ORC room and honestly dealing with a couple of deep burdens that I will keep unspoken for now.

Tell your family and friends how much you love them and how they have made your life better...leave no regrets, leave no argument unresolved. Life together goes so quickly.

Much love to you on this beautiful Saturday.

It’s Thursday and you know what that means... Week 5 of @oneroomchallenge is here!

I have such a deep love affair with beautiful lighting. These @crystorama Morgan sconces are stunning against the Indigo paint color.

Family-run Crystorama believes in beautiful practical design and great customer service. Read more about this wonderful company today on the blog.

I had the great opportunity to visit their newest showroom @highpointmarket a couple weeks ago. Can I just tell you that the lights on their website are even more gorgeous in person? They are! Look for my insta stories to see the showroom for yourself. 😊

Hard to believe the Big Reveal is next week! So excited to begin adding all the details that make a room a haven.

These little marbleized ornaments are so easy and fun to make!

A few marble print napkins, a little gold leaf and a good Christmas movie or two is all it takes to add these beauties to your tree!

The Festive Christmas Ideas tour is going strong and you can find these pretties along with a many more Yuletide adornments on the website today!

Happy November 1st!

“Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” -William Arthur Ward

2 years ago, I grabbed my measuring tape, put pen to paper and a sledgehammer to this wall.

Swipe through to see the progression. This jack n Jill style bathroom was incredibly small. Having a cavernous linen closet made it worse.

Design and imagination created the most wonderful transformation!

The linen tower and pull out drawers in this vanity work much harder that the original setup.

I seized the opportunity for change by adding a hidden panel to house curling irons and blow dryers.

Underneath, I designed drawers that fully extend with sides that help corral all the extras that end up under the sink.

Sometimes, you just have to make a mess to reveal the beautiful.

Happy Saturday my friends!
