Where every thought is of home
I never planned on posting recipes to my blog, not because I don’t like to eat BUT because I don’t like to cook. We have already established that I love cookies here. I decided I needed to share this recipe for my Buffalo Chicken Wrap because it is so good. I had originally found a recipe on Pinterest called Buffalo Chicken Tacos. I made them following this recipe from Mrs.Regueiro’s Plate and they were delish! I wanted to make a {Read More}
Since posting my Kitchen Tour, I’ve had many people ask what paint I used on my Painted Kitchen Cabinets. So, I thought I should give a few details. I wanted a paint that was durable, smooth looking and not shiny. So, I went with Sherwin Williams Cashmere. The color is Antique White. This paint goes on so smooth and feels great to the touch. These painted kitchen cabinets were done with a foam roller and they look as if they {Read More}
Have you ever sat in your Family Room, looked at the mantel and thought… I wonder what it would look like IF… I painted it Green or Grey or Red or Whitish, again??? Well, I have! When we bought our home the mantel was painted the same as all the trim in our house. Semi Gloss whitish…. But over the course of 5 years there has been an evolution of the mantle. I must say, the red, although {Read More}
When you see the pictures of my Family Room Before the awesome new paint… You will see that the gold color on the walls stayed way too long. As we say in the South, it wore out it’s welcome! I mean seriously too long, like I painted it 5 years ago, yikes! So, here is the room before painting, in all her gold glory. I recently posted my family room tour…. But here are a few more before pics for {Read More}
Last year we decided to throw a School’s out for Summer Party! It was the end of 6th and 8th grade for our kiddos so it was middle school heaven, lol. Now it’s time to prepare for our 2nd Annual School’s out for Summer Party. I was SUPER excited to find the acrylic flamingo tray and glasses last weekend at Ikea! Then I pulled out my black and white roll of gift wrap and some scrapbook paper and my color {Read More}
In honor of Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, I thought I would share with you My 10 Priorities As a Mother. Although my rules and discipline techniques change as my kids age changes, (hence the quote by Maya Angelou) MY PRIORITIES NEVER DO. 1. PRAY *I pray for them and with them, it is my greatest source of strength. 2. LISTEN *I listen to their entire story before I speak…I admit this is hard for me but I am {Read More}
Our Family Room… Where we hang out and watch TV…a really BIG one I might add. Where we laugh with family and friends…because they are crazy funny. Where we nap sometimes…but mostly just the dog! This mantle has been painted many times but for now I am enjoying the simple crispness of it… FOR NOW anyway. A vintage basket found at a local thrift shop for $1… …super score! Love it! The Rocking Chair was Ray’s grandmother’s…Nanny, as we called {Read More}
Gallery Walls are all the rage around the decorating world! Especially a gallery wall with custom art. They are a great way to showcase family photos, art, and other objects that will give personality to your home. I have been working on a new look for my teen sons room and we are including a gallery wall in the hall that leads to his room. You can see the beginning stages of his room here. My son picked items that {Read More}
My Kitchen… Although I have been in the mood to do a mini makeover on my kitchen I wanted to give you a kitchen tour of how it is now. So get ready for picture overload Wait…before we get started, I thought you should know, my awesome husband did the tile work! (I assisted) Oh, and I painted and glazed the cabinets. (He did not assist, he hates painting) One of the changes I would like to make will be {Read More}
Like most people, I usually scan the clearance aisle any time I’m out shopping. I love a deal… Which is why I bought this ugly pillow…with her horrible pattern and polyester fabric. BUT the beauty was on the inside. The pillow was on clearance for only $7.oo at Home Goods. And It had a feather pillow insert with a zipper fabric cover…BONUS! SO, for only $7.00 I have a great feather pillow insert and a shell of fabric to use {Read More}
