Good Monday everyone! I have been enjoying your photos and looking forward to sharing these Moments with you. Instead of doing a vignette today, I am going to show you how you can use a piece of your furniture and artwork to make a Moment in your room. Our entry at this house is just a hallway that opens up to the kitchen/great room. I thought by placing this bench here, ... READ the POST
Treasures at the Thrift Store
I have been on the lookout for some chairs for our homework station. The kids kept dragging the dining chairs over to work on their crafts and homework and would forget to put them back. I was tired of needing to move them back to our dining table before meals. So, it was time to find something more permanent. I was surprised after looking online that I found these treasures at the first ... READ the POST
Pizazz Without Paint
I had a question awhile ago, that I thought I would share with you. With our whole painting craze it is easy to forget not everyone can afford to repaint their room, or is even allowed to, especially if they are a renter. So, here you go…pizazz without paint.

DIY Garage Storage
This last weekend, hubby was working in the garage. I walked out and voila…garage storage! We live in Arizona where there are no basements. You wouldn’t think it was an issue, because we just moved from Texas, where basements are not common either. But, hubby had outfitted our attic with an amazing storage solution. So here we are in AZ, with no basement and no ... READ the POST
Vignettes…Monday’s Moments
As you know, I love Interior Design, and know it can benefit others, when planning their space. But not everyone can afford to decorate an entire room. So, it got me thinking about what we COULD do. Anyone could make vignettes with the things they have to create a “moment” in a room. Something your eye would rest on and give you a little, “wow, that looks great” or “how ... READ the POST
St Patty’s Day Decor
With both my husband and I having some Irish in our ancestry, I wanted to make something for St Patrick’s Day…a ‘lil St Patty’s Day Decor if you will.

You could make so many cute St Patty’s Day Decor things with this ... READ the POST
