Decorating Cents

I've never been much into geography but I guess if I needed to know where a place was, I could follow this emerging trend.   How about maps on the wall?  Lonny Little Birdie Secrets Apartment Therapy Little Green Notebook Martha Stewart House to Home Kayla Danelle Etsy Do you have any maps in your home decor?  

I was making my usual weekly Target run.  I always check out the home section.  It's a must.  I have an incurable itch to changing things around the house.  They are remodeling the Target near me so it looks like they are trying to get rid of a lot of items.  Many of them are clearance.  I came across these babies.  They are Dwell Studio and have a zippered cover.  Can you believe they were marked down to $7.00?  I started to get one to see how I would like it but immediately grabbed another just in case I did.  Good thing I got two because the rest were gone when I ran back in the next day. Finally got my chevron and in the perfect color too. Sharing with Not Just a Housewife * Confessions of a Stay At Home Mommy * Thrifty Decor Chick *

We tiled the back splash.  It already looks ten times better in the kitchen.  Just the beginning of the kitchen transformation.  We grouted last night and we still need to finish some touch ups, so hopefully I'll have the finished pictures for you soon.

Get Ready for Warmer Weather with Décor Winter blues are hard to shake, spruce up your home and prepare it for warmer months ahead. Typically you want your home reflect the warmth and brightness outside your window, which is tough when it gets darker earlier and is snowy. This doesn’t mean though that you cannot warm up the home.  To do so you do not necessarily have to make this happen by buying new furniture or remodeling the house, with a few accessories an...

Are you a part of the Pinterest Addicts Club?  I think I'm getting closer.  I browse a few times a day and find myself getting sucked in for a good hour or so.  Hubby even knows when I'm on Pinterest on my phone because it dings every time I pin something. I love seeing what everyone is pinning and getting design inspiration, recipes, and craft ideas.  But remember, others are also getting ideas from you.  Every time you pin something you like, your followers and other members are watching.  I have gotten a lot of Pinterest followers by just pinning things I like.  I pin a majority of home decor and DIY projects.  Others that like home decor or DIY too follow my boards because we have the same style.  When you are pinning, label the pin by what is in the photo, not your emotions when you pin it.  I think this is important for one reason: the pin being found by someone else later.  When I do searches, in the search box I ty...

Well it's a new month which means new sponsors! Melanie Bear Rabbit Bear Ever since high school, I have loved to write. And I've loved to sew and make things for my friends and family. I remember making custom decorative rabbits for friends in high school as Christmas presents. I think my grandparents have one lying around, too. Growing up, my “Granny”, as she is lovingly called, taught me how to sew and make the use of recyclable materials. My Home Economics class in high school (yes, I’m old enough to be part of the group that was required to take Home Ec.!) inspired needle working and cooking. It’s kind of funny now, but I even made it to a state home ec tournament!! I took a hiatus from writing and DIYing in college. It wasn't until I was married to my hubby that I picked it up again (something about renovating a house from the ground up will do that to you.). Having a baby will also spark more than maternal instinct- for me it sparked...

I won't be doing any decorating for Valentine's Day but I will put out this one printable I made. This scripture was printed on our wedding program and means a lot to the both of us.  It describes the definition of true love.  The scripture is 1 Corinthians 13:4-13.    Sharing at  Tatertots and Jello * Under the Table and Dreaming * Homemaker on a Dime * Making The World Cuter * The DIY Showoff * Positively Splendid * Home Savvy A to Z * Tough Cookie Mommy * The Gunny Sack * So Very Creative * DIY Home Sweet Home * Three Mango Seeds * Ask Anna * I Heart Naptime * CRAFT * Keeping It Simple * Between Naps on the Porch * Craftomaniac * Skip To My Lou * Nifty Thrifty Things * Confessions of a Stay at Home Mommy * Tip Junkie * Ginger Snap Crafts * Savvy Southern Style * DIY by Design * Clean and Scentsible * Decorchick * Feeding My Temple * It's Overflowing * Blue Cricket Design * Southern Lovely * Someday Crafts * The...
