Greetings, friends! Happy "Christmas is less than a week away!!" 😳 Today, I'm wrapping up my Christmas Home Tour with the Interior. I'll try my best to keep it short 'n sweet because I know we are all trying to finish all the holiday shopping, cleaning, & baking on top of everything else we have to do. Whew, Christmas is a lot, isn't it? I do feel like I kept the gift giving thing a bit more … [Read more...]
Fall in North Georgia
Sharing some pretty Fall color from our home in North Georgia today! Summer is my favorite over all season, but Fall is my favorite because of the rich hues, perfect temps, and trees changing colors! After I briefly share our exterior and interior Fall home decor, I'm going to share some pics of our life in North Georgia-Fall Edition. It really is such a beautiful place to live! This year was … [Read more...]
Painted Bathroom Vanity
In my previous post about the guest bath makeover, I said I would share the painted vanity in a separate post! This is a short post, but I thought I'd share how I prepped the thermafoil cabinets and then painted them. The white thermafoil cabinets were installed when we built out home 17 years ago and were starting to peel around the vanity cabinet doors. If you aren't familiar with … [Read more...]
How to Make a Long Shower Curtain with Valance

Really there was nothing wrong with the bath, it just felt tired and a bit blah, plus all our sons are now away at college, so it felt like a good time to update the decor. The walls … [Read more...]
Final Dorm Room Design & Empty Nest!
A few months ago, we moved our youngest son into his dorm spacious apartment at Kennesaw State University. I don't know about y'all, but back in "the glory days," (my college years) we had a small dorm room with twin beds, a desk, closet, and vanity. AND we hiked it down the hall to the community bathrooms to shower, etc. These new style dorm apartments come with either 2x2s, 3x3s, or 4x4s, … [Read more...]
My Favorite Paint Color App
Today, I want to share a great app for helping select paint colors with you. It's the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap Visualizer and I use it often! There are several really good paint color apps for your smartphones or electronic devices, but this one's my favorite. You can match a photo, explore paint colors, and scan a paint color number. Typically, when I'm inspired by a color, I'll snap a photo … [Read more...]
Transitioning from Christmas to Winter Home Decor
In a perfect world, my Christmas Home Tour post was written in early December. Â Now it's January 10 and the reality is that I'm just sitting down to write and my decorations are just now coming down. Â In my defense, I actually decorated our home for Christmas right before my annual client Christmas decorating job with my realtor/home stager friend, Stephanie Mellom, after Thanksgiving, but you … [Read more...]
