DIY Personalized Birthday Gift Idea

Hello Loves, have you all made it into October alright? Well, I am already down 
with my first cold of the new season !!! FIGURES!!!

I wanted to share a quick little project I made last weekend. I was invited to a 
60th Birthday Party and I wanted to bring a "little something special and 
personal" to the birthday girl. Earlier that morning I went to a local bazaar and 
purchased another galvanized bucket (which one can never have enough of...lol). 
Once I got home I stenciled her birth year onto the bucket.

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

Hanging An Old Window From The Fence

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying a fun and relaxing Labor Day today! 

I want to share a little something with you I did this weekend.

Earlier this summer I found an old window at one of my favorite little country stores, 

it's been sitting on the deck for several weeks but I finally figured out where to put it up.

A Boho-Moroccan Bedroom in Germany

Hi Loves, if you follow my blog you might remember last months post "Decor Inspiration from Holland"? My best friend Michi who lives in Germany recently took a trip to the Netherlands and did some serious SHOPPING over there!!! Last month I shared the pictures she took of the stores she visited, and today I want to show you how she decorated with some of  her new-found treasures.  My friend and I both love the Boho-Moroccan-Scandinavian Interior trend (Or whatever you call that) ...lol

Unfortunately I have no BEFORE pictures of her bedroom, 

but most important, here is how it looks now.

A Few New Things Around The House

Hello friends, it's been a bit quiet around the blog this summer. We took a family trip in July and I hardly spend any time on the computer. Things are back to normal, but it seems to me that I will be playing "bloggy reading catch up" for a long time. 

I wanted to share some new things around the house with you. For those of you that follow my blog, you know I have been painting our kitchen and family room this summer. With the new paint color came some re-decorating and I also picked up a few new things. My taste has changed so much this year and I need to take it slow and give a lot of thought to what I want to invest time and money for. 

Well, let's get to the fun part Amiga's (and Amigo's), here are some pictures for you!!!! Here is a wall in our kitchen nook. My friend Michi got me this cute window frame a while back, I wrapped some stringlights around it, I love the combination of the rich gray wall color and the pop of white from the lights.

Creating An Outdoor Oasis with Arhaus

Hello and Happy Summer Loves! How is your summer going so far? Do you have a patio/deck or outdoor space that you like to hang out on this time of year? 

DECOR Inspiration from Holland

Hello friends, today I want to share some major eye candy with ya all....my bestest friend MICHI who lives in beautiful Bavaria/Germany recently took a trip to the Netherlands to go on a shopping spree.
She and I seem to have the same taste especially when concerning Decor. I had ask her to
take some pictures for me if she saw something really cool, and so she did.......
Let me just tell you my jar hit the floor when she send me these pictures...
Ohhhh the envy....LOL
Oh what torture to see all these gorgeous finds and not being able to be there with her and shop!!!!!!
I love the style in the stores she visited, it's this weird combo of Nordic meets Moroccan if that makes sense!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I did, I found amazing inspiration here and I can't
wait to go back to the Netherlands next time we are in Europe, Trouble is, I don't think you can
rent a U-haul and attach it to the air plane going home...hmmmmm that is a problem!

Well enough chatter, I hope you will enjoy the inspiration
as much as I did! 

Been Busy Painting

Hi there and Happy Weekend Loves, it's been a bit quiet on my blog for 

the last couple of weeks. But I have a good excuse. I have been 

busy painting our family room, kitchen and kitchen nook. 

I am hoping to finish up today and take a painting break before 

I attack the dining room next.

Here is a sneak peak of the progress.....
