DIY Rope Tie Backs -- Restoration Hardware Inpired

Hola Amiga's, how was your weekend? We still have my family visiting from Germany so I have been extra busy. But I wanted to share a tiny little project I did with the help from my Mom. I have been wanting to get "Rope Tie Backs" for our downstairs curtains to add a little PAZAAAAM !!!!!

 I have seen gorgeous rope tie backs at places like Restoration Hardware, but the cost is $60 for one and I needed four...So we needed to come up with a DIY solution. Now being the lazy person that I am and at all cost trying to avoid getting out the drill, here is what we did

 .

Decorating With Old Doors

Hi Loves, I trust you all survived the Holidays without any permanent damage? 
We have company from Germany all month long and I won't be having much time to 
get projects done around the house....HOWEVER I did put together some major eye candy 
on "DECORATING WITH OLD DOORS". I love the way they add character to any space 
whether your style is rustic or modern. So let me share what I have 
put together for you! Please pin away!!!!!

collection of glass jars, bottles and mugs.

Christmas Decorations on the Back Porch

 Hi Sweets, this weekend I played around on our back porch a bit

and decorated for Christmas. I didn't want to invest a lot of time back there, 

because we really only see the back porch this time of year when looking

out through the sliding glass door from the kitchen. BUT never the less I had fun

and got a few good pictures (including a Bunny photo bomb)!

Are You As Late As Me With Your Christmas Cards?

Hello and Happy Holidays everyone, one of my favorite things during 
the holidays is to create a Christmas card to send to friends and family. 
Problem is, I run behind every year....always last minute!!!
Luckily on-line sites like Cardstore.com safe me each year!
I used  Cardstore.com/ this afternoon after taking some quick 
pictures on the back patio.
