I have this thing for wood beads lately. I just love how they look strung together on twine. They look good bare, and they look good painted. They look good all mixed together too! I'm in the midst of decorating my living room for spring. I wanted to bring in some subtle spring colors, and I thought a wood bead garland would be the perfect way to do it! It didn't take me long to paint the larger beads with some chalk paint. I left the smaller beads bare. I used some of my favorite ... Read More about Wood Bead Garland for Spring

How to Make a Dollhouse Table From an Old Coffee Table
I think my daughter may have inherited my decorating gene... It's just too bad that our " decorating ideas" don't always "work well" together....you know what I'm sayin'?

Rustic & Chic Budget-Friendly Living Room Inspiration
1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12 A few weekends ago, my sister-in-law and I were talking about her living room. They recently painted it gray (Vapor Trails by Benjamin Moore), which is actually the same color I used in my house. She liked the gray walls, but she suddenly hated all of her old furniture. They ordered a dark gray sofa, but from there she was feeling frustrated and like she didn't know which direction to go. I don't think she's alone.
