Trip to France

i'm planning a summer trip to France... Today was suppose to be a house cleaning day for me.  In fact, I have my grungy cleaning clothes on, but of course I'm distracted by planning our summer trip to France.  When it comes to planning our family trips, I really like the process of finding our accommodations and it just dawned on me that maybe it is the whole nesting thing!  I like to look at how cozy the place is and also, I love seeing how other people decorate. ... continue reading...

Mason Jar Project

Happy Spring! My daughter and her friend made up this spring Mason jar project all on their own! They used a large mason jar and added moss, eggs, silk blossoms, sticks and Easter chicks!  The possibilities are endless since there are so many cute craft items to add to the scene. I love that they both had the same supplies, and both jars turned out different. Creativity is so unique and awesome. They gathered up some twigs from the yard and found my fake eggs and moss.  They used ... continue reading...

Kitchen Remodel Part 1

Our Kitchen Remodel We moved into our Northern California house three years ago and my husband bought the house without me!  Our realtor and now friend has never had a client buy house without the spouse viewing it!  I guess after 28 years of marriage our taste is similar and so we can trust each other's decision making.  Or maybe we are just downright crazy!  :o)   Anyway, we lived in the house for a year before we began our remodel.  We spent many hours trying to redesign our ... continue reading...

Master Bedroom

Today's Happy Decor Project is my Master Bedroom. Slowly but surely we are revamping our 1960's Ranch Style home. Our home has been a labor of love and of course patience!   Master Bedroom Refresh When we bought our home almost seven years ago, the master bedroom was a bright yellow and the paint was a Restoration Hardware color.  The little swatch appeared mellow, but instead of a soothing atmosphere is was more like a bright pre school rumpus room. Well, I wanted a more ... continue reading...

Paper Source Labels

Paper Source Labels I've been organizing and cleaning out my cupboards and I came across these cool labels at the Paper Source store. I just love everything they sell at that store!  Now that paper is being eliminated in many parts of our lives, it is great to have a place that celebrates paper in a creative way. Anyway, I love their selection of labels. I thought maybe I would hand print my own labels, but then my handwriting is pretty sad. So, I went to the Paper Source's website and ... continue reading...
