Today we’re going to bring back an old feature in a new way. Friday’s on AKA used to mean we posted Friday Five, a sort of round up of five random things from our week as a numbered list with a photo for each. Friday Love List is sort of the same, but it will [...]
Are you all tired of our Living Room yet? We’ve finally finished the piece that began this living room makeover: the great big, gifted, pine armoire. If you recall this is what we started with: And then we made some small changes, like organizing the books, adding some blue and straightening up the shelves: [...]
Last week we talked about lightening up our living room. We asked for advice on painting the armoire and adding in some accent pieces. We also mentioned that we didn’t want to replace everything, as there are still some renos we need to complete on the house (like the floors in the living room/dining room) and [...]
So it’s Wednesday again, hump day, and that means it’s time for another installment of Wish List Wednesday. Today I’m thinking it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I know it’s not even the end of October yet (and it is crazy warm here), but for some reason this year the Christmas spirit has hit early. [...]
One of only a couple of purchases I made while shopping with my sister this past weekend was my Umbra Wallflowers. We were mainly shopping for things for her new place and her office. However the Wallflowers were something I was wanting for a while. I passed them up several times. Couldn’t do it this time. [...]
Our Room Revamp this week features Joey & Lana (of Joey and Lana Make a House a Home blog) and their breakfast nook redo. Among other things, Lana is ‘fine arts gone marketing major’ and Joey is an American Music Award Winning Platinum Artist. Together they are making their 6,200 (!) square foot 1930′s traditional English Tudor [...]
Finding Fabulous is having another – their 50th! – Frugalicious Friday which is a link party to share the “fabulous, thriftiest most frugalicious home decor finds!” AND Funky Junk Interiors is also having a link party called Saturday Night Special. Both parties instantly made me want to share more of our recent front hallway makeover. [...]
After the last post about my designer-esque finds at Walmart today, I thought I’d check Home Depot’s site just for fun. Now I know the big stores certainly don’t need little ol’ me to advertise for them, however, most people I know (including Hubby and I) shop at these kind of places and not often at designer boutiques. So it [...]
After several months of whining (who me?) about Target and World Market not shipping up here (we’re in Canada, eh!) and Walmart.com having way better home and garden decor than Walmart.ca….Walmart done gone and got new stuff! I popped into our Walmart with the kiddies today to pick up some spray paint and a picture frame, when something [...]
Every so often I find myself loving a new decorating obsession. (Remember the drum shade post?). Really, who am I kidding, I am always crushing on something! Today it happens to be cloches. You know those glass bell jar thingys. No? Ooooh, you don’t know what you’re missing. Have a look! Country Living Etsy [...]
