Hello friends! Every holiday I see gorgeous mantles done up for the season and it makes me long for a fireplace. But honestly, we don’t really need one here in Phoenix. But I did create something similar. How Do You Like My Fantel? A Faux Fall Mantel. A few weeks ago I came across a lovely image of a shelf decorated for fall and I read a phrase that was new to me ~ “fantel” a faux mantel. Where have I been? This word concoction has been in use for over a year! I liked it so much I thought ... View the Post
A Garden of Autumnal Splendor
It’s that time of year again ~all my favorite blogs start showcasing their fall finds and I turn orange with envy. It hard to envision fall when the temperature is still 100 degrees plus here in Phoenix. Dreaming of A Garden of Autumnal Splendor. A Garden of Autumnal Splendor Thankfully I just got back from attending my cousin Sarah’s wedding in Las Vegas. We arrived a day early and since I am not a gambler I headed to one of my favorite spots, the Bellagio Conservatory. Every ... View the Post
Decorating Above The Kitchen Cabinets
I shared with you on Monday that my dream kitchen would have cabinets built all the way up to the ceiling.

So ... View the Post
Swap Soiree
Today I am turning another year older. I always feel so blessed to do so. So I am celebrating with a Swap Soiree. Swap Soiree I mentioned before that we recently downsized. It is SO freeing to get rid of a bunch of stuff. But the hard part is getting rid of a bunch of stuff. Really nice stuff that you think “I wish I knew someone who would appreciate this good stuff.” The premise of a Swap Soiree is you invite your décor loving friends over and ask them to bring one item (or more! More! ... View the Post
An Inexpensive Pet Bed
When we first moved into our new to us home I had dreams of creating a built in sleeping area for Rudi and Franz in the laundry room. I ended up creating An Inexpensive Pet Bed. I had dream of building an area with a bit of beadboard and molding. An Inexpensive Pet Bed So I went to my favorite décor haunts looking for two matching dog pillows to place in the room temporarily. Crickey! $30 for just one simple dog bed!!! No thank you! I put on my thinking cap and remembered I had two extra ... View the Post
Mick Jagger Was Right
Mick Jagger Was Right. Queue the choir…You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, well you might find…You Get What You Need. Mick Jagger Was Right On occasion I sing this rock classic to my children and they LOVE it. (Insert sarcasm.) Of course there are occasions that I have to sing it to myself and truthfully, I don’t like it much either. Take my kitchen window. I had dreams of nice Belgian linen café curtains. But remember when I wrote about listening to your ... View the Post
