Come & take a little peek...

A cozy little Fall Porch With a Moroccan Touch

Hello & HAPPY FALL Everyone !!!

Twinkle Lights and Candle Light

Hello peeps,  I sure hope you have all been staying safe and healthy! 
 In January I took down all the Winter Décor thinking winter is over, but it 

just so happened that it's been snowing for days in Olympia, WA. 
So yesterday I redecorated the front porch a bit, while watching the snow come

 down and the kids play.

Nature Inspired Outdoor Christmas Decorations from Little Brags

Hello guys, it's been a bit quiet on the blog and I have not been able to reply to 

comments as well and fast as I normally like to. 

I have been busy doing a Live Christmas Tour for Hometalk this Tuesday. 

You can watch it here if you would like to. Meanwhile I also took a bunch of pics 

of our house decorated for Christmas and Winter. Since there are a lot of pics, 

I will post them in stages. Today I am sharing my outdoor Christmas/Winter 

pics with you and hope that you will find some inspiration here.

Ok peeps, lets get going....

Here is a little corner of the back patio, I decorated the spool table 

with mostly nature such as fresh moss, greens, branches and heather 

plants....Can you tell I am into the Scandinavian look!

Little Brags On Instagram

Hello and Happy Sunday Loves, I wanted to share a few new pics from my Instagram page with you that I did not post on my blog yet, so making sure you all know about my Instagram page and would love it it you follow me there as well!!!!! I find it very challenging to keep all the social media stuff updated all the time, I am a total slacker on Twitter, but I usually remember to post on Instagram on a regular basis. 

So of you are not following me on Instagram yet, I would 

love it if you did!!!!! 

Enjoy some new snapshots around the family room.

As you can probably tell in the pictures I am definitely doing the 

Moroccan-Boho thing!!!! LOL

Wintery Decor On The Back Patio

Hello and Happy New Year peeps!!! Today I am sharing a little corner in our backyard 

with you, all decked out in winter décor. This year we got our Christmas tree kind

of late (8 days before Christmas), so when it was time to get rid of the tree, it still

looked so beautiful and  fresh. So when we took it down, we cut off all the branches

and saved them for some winter décor outside.

  I filled our little fire pit and the wooden crate on the spool table

with tons of branches.

Our Christmas Front Porch

Sooo, I finally took some pictures of our Christmas Décor around the house this weekend.

Today I am sharing our front porch with you and later this week, I will share some pictures of the inside.  

So here we are, another year almost gone....geshhh...where does the time go?

Here is our front porch, simple and neutral

Project Challenge: RUSTY ITEM

the September Project Challenge where 7 DIYers are creating some

awesome stuff!!!!

Here is what I came up with..... I love rusty cans and I love lanterns,

sooooo why not combine them???

A Few New Goodies And Some Progress In The Dining Room

Hello Sweeties near and far away, I wanted to share a few new goodies with you today. 
I worked a tiny bit on our formal dining room Friday night. I am such a slacker.....
it's been month and it's still not all finished and pulled together.

So last week I went to Cost Plus World Market and found these super gorgeous
Distressed Metal Filigree Lucy Lanterns . 
I put them on the window sill in the dining room

A Lantern Make Over And Our Back Porch

Hello and Happy Weekend Everyone. I've been feeling the spring fever lately! Last Sunday I pressure-washed our back yard patios, and now I am working on making it cozy back there. The first step is done....I had these 2 huge brown Lanterns that I grew tired of, so I spray painted them a light grey. After they dried, I rubbed some white acrylic paint on them to give them a  bit of a white wash look.

Moss Lovin on the Front Porch

Hello and Happy Weekend Everyone....After I took down all Christmas Decorations this winter,  I just kind of let the front porch go for a while. Everything was BLAH and uninviting  looking out there. Today I finally got to it . I was shooting for a "Wintery" look with moss accents. Soon I will have to change everything again for Spring and Easter...LOL...

Decorating with a Grain Sack

A while back I found an old grain sack at my favorite store. I've been thinking about what to do with it for a while now. Well, I think I finally had a good idea.

Wrought Iron Staircase Dreaming and a Lantern

Hello Peeps, I have been thinking/dreaming about re-doing our staircase for a while now. Our stairway is the first thing you see when you enter. Here is a picture I took today

  My biggest complaint are the white wooden support railings. They actually come off all the time. We've had a Handy man come over more than once to fix it. Can you believe that they are installed with a staple gun????  Isn't that ridiculous? I also don't like the pine wood on a staircase, since it is a really soft wood and dents really easy in such a heavy traffic area.

Sneak Peak - Back Patio

Hello Peeps, I've been busy today trying to get my backyard patio looking decent for the summer. It is not finished yet. But here is a little Sneak Peak

Hanging a Lantern and some new Porch Pillows

 Hello Everyone, I've been busy pressure washing my front this weekend. 

I also hung up a Lantern with rope on my front arch.

A Cheap New Marshall's Lantern

Oops, I did it again...

Remember when I spray-painted 2 Lanters I got from Ross a while back? If you missed that post you can check it out here Lantern Transformation. Well I found yet another pretty lantern on "Clearance" at Marshalls, it's good sized and it was only 20 Dollars.

Lantern Transformation

I have been wanting a couple of large lanterns for a while, but seems like the really big ones are well over $100 each. Last weekend at Ross I found these UGLY Arabian style lanterns. I got both of them for $60. I hated the shiny silver tops but really liked the shape. So I figured for that price, I'd give them a coat of Spraypaint!
