Pretty Pins, Progress


I'm making progress on my chairs. Remember the ones I shared with you here? I found a pretty neutral velvet thanks to my friend Carol. It was a bargain at $12/yard. I've got one chair done you can see my Instagram photo of it here. The other has been painted with one coat. I'm hoping to finish tomorrow! I was going to buy the rug from PB but turns out they didn't have the one I wanted in the border color I liked so back to the drawing board there. I ordered the Wuslu deal of the day yesterday. I usually go look but I've never ordered from them before. I really like the lantern and knew it would be great in so many places! Here is my favorite pin from this week. My first Houzz Tour as a Contributor will be published tomorrow. I can't wait for you to see who's beautiful home it is! I'll have the link as soon as it's live. See you soon.

Valentine Dinner Menu


Hello! I don't have a plan for my whole week today. I just need to get through a crazy busy day tomorrow. I do plan to make this yummy looking Vegetable Lasagna and Carmelita Bars for our family Valentine's  dinner tomorrow with some homemade bread. Nothing too crazy just a nice meal together. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by my to do list but I'm hopeful I'll get some things crossed off tomorrow! See you soon.

Mustard Seed Interiors


I had the pleasure of working with the super talented Marian of Miss Mustard Seed on a tour of her beautiful home for Houzz. If you get a minute to stop by and take a look I know you will enjoy her home! I want to thank Marian for taking time out of her very busy schedule to be a part of this. Marian is busy working on her first book. I wish her much continued success! Thank you for coming by, see you soon!

Chairs After & Before


Well friends my chairs are finally finished and I could not be happier! After looking at PB, Home Depot, and Lowes I found a perfect rug at Target. It matches the one on the other side of my living room really well and it was pretty reasonable. I put together a How To for Houzz on this whole project that will be published in a few weeks. So for now, here is the after. I moved some things around and decided that they would be pretty in front of the window. It's getting there, I'd love to find an ottoman that I can slip cover and maybe that pretty tufted sofa? We'll see, I'll have to save my pennies! A little improvement, don't you think? I'll let you know when the How To goes up on Houzz if you're interested in seeing the whole process. Thanks for visiting!
