A Little French Room...Updated

Time for a little update!  Do you remember a year ago when I first shared my youngest daughter's "Little French Room"?  Back then, it looked like this...

The big furniture pieces were in place and despite wanting to keep the room simple, it felt like it still needed something.  At the time I posted the room, I had picked out some white ruffle drapes from Target, but just hadn't hung them yet.  Boy, do window treatments always make a difference in a room...

On the Back Porch with Cedar Hill Ranch

Just popping into announce that I'm chatting with Anita over at Cedar Hill Ranch today!  Anita is so talented and I love her style...and have you seen her amazing ranch in Texas?!

Pretty much my dream right there...  If you're curious about other things I dream of and how I got my start in the blogging world, check out my interview HERE, but you should head over anyway just to see Anita's dreamy blog!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Paris Grey & White Striped Dresser

I love stripes...Either painted on a wall or on a piece of furniture, they are such a super-easy way to make a big impact in a room.  I decided it had been way too long since I've done a "stripe project" and was ready to break out the painter's tape again.

Lily's Garden Room

I've been so busy working on projects for the house this past week!  Between painting hallways, tons of landscaping outside, scrubbing down the screen porch from top to bottom, and numerous other essential (but unexciting chores), I've hardly found time for fun projects.  I did get a huge sideboard stained and painted and is waiting on new hardware and finally got to put the finishing touches on my middle daughter's room...

Powder Room Makeover

Have you ever painted a room and known almost immediately that it's just not what you want?  Well, that was me a little over a year ago in my powder room.  We'd just moved into our new home and I was wanting to re-paint almost every room in the house and the paint costs were adding up quickly.  With all the other things that I was buying for the house, I thought I'd save a bit and use some left-over paint...oh, why didn't I just get pick out the color I wanted?

Cottage-Inspired, Casual Easter Brunch and Spring Tablescape

Easter is just less than a month away!  It still feels like winter in North Carolina this weekend and I'm hoping the weather turns as egg hunts are much more enjoyable when it's warm!  Despite the cold weather, I brought in fresh flowers to help it feel like Spring and put together a simple, cottage-inspired Spring and Easter brunch tablescape that I hope inspires you for the upcoming holiday...

Spring Project Round-Up

Spring is right around the corner and I know many of us are ready to freshen up the house, plant some flowers, and feel the sunshine again.  Although the booth and recent furniture projects have been keeping me busy, I'm also turning my attention to projects around the house that need a touch of Spring.  I finished painting my formerly dark powder room with a new clean, light color and am in the process of finishing this room up and will share soon!  There's also a few bouquets of fresh flowers waiting for me to arrange for an Easter brunch tablescape that I'm working on along with a new spring mantel.  While I work on these, I thought I'd share some Spring inspiration from the past...
