A year after moving in I am finally getting around to adding a bit of happy to the laundry room. Our laundry room is more like a laundry closet. A closet with no windows and bad overhead lighting~ which makes it pretty difficult to get a good picture. One thing you should know is that  I don’t like leaving the cleaning supplies in their original packaging.  Pretty much all of our laundry soap, etc.  gets set free from their cardboard and plastic prisons. Blah. Much better! ... View the Post

Today is my Sweet Guy’s 12th birthday. While he will be enjoying a traditional children’s party very soon I wanted to make sure that the table was decorated for a special meal. It will be just the four of us enjoying his favorite foods tonight. The centerpiece is a small wheelbarrow that Mr. Décor gave me while we were dating…16 years ago. I filled it with happy sunflowers, mums, red berries and roses as well as other bits of flora and fauna. It is surrounded by a bounty of dollar ... View the Post

I recently found myself frantically searching for my fall themed napkin rings. They were no where to be found. So I quickly got creative. I began with miniature grapevine wreaths I have had for awhile. (You can find these at most craft stores.) I had also been hanging onto some cedar acorns that once had been in several sweater drawers but had lost their scent long ago. I started priming and then remembered the “before” pictures. Oooops! Do you do that too? :) After the ... View the Post

For all of you who prayed for our dear Rudi I am happy to report that after a week of rest and steroids he seems to be more like his old self~ smiling, waving and wagging. Rudi often smiles for our family. Generally it accompanies a good belly rubbing. I have had only one other dog in my lifetime who smiled and that was my dear golden retriever, Peaches. Does your dog smile? Laura ... View the Post

I have slowly been adding a few fall touches to my home, some to create sweet dreams of cooler temperatures. Before Pinterest, I would often tear pages out of magazines and place them in clear protector sheets that were organized by room in a binder. One image came from Victoria. The snuggly layout featured darling sheets from Pine Cone Hill. I adored the “Love In Bloom” hand embroidered pillowcases. As well as the “His & Hers” cases. I did not love the $74.00 price tag. Longtime ... View the Post

For the past two years I have been collecting images of painted interior doors. The two most popular color choices seem to be gray… …or black. Some doors are done in a matte finish. Others in a high gloss lacquer finish. I am truly drawn to doors with a bit of color, like this soft pink. Although this red seems so happy. I’ll take this entire purple paradise please. Ah, butter yellow. Good day sunshine! I love this emerald green. They even painted the trim. ... View the Post
