    The Best Painted Fireplaces

    I recently wrote about how I was going to paint my living room fireplace. In an effort to determine what color would be best, I started to look for what others were doing first.

    Inspiring Outdoor Spaces

    In relation to love, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. That is definitely true and I’ve been fortunate to experience that.

    After a while, the decor on shelves and mantels gets stale and needs some updating. For me, it’s actually very satisfying to change the mantel up a couple of times a year. It tends to set the tone for the entire area and I love that about having one. I finally got around to finishing the decor […]

    My husband and I work from home, so we tend to stay inside a little more than others. Though there are some great days, like any job, some days can be not so inspiring. A mix of the winter weather and being inside more has me looking for ways to be more cheerful. One thing […]

  • My Love Affair | All Things Burlap

    In addition to my open relationship with Annie Sloan chalk paint, I have a secret affair going on with burlap. Burlap ribbon, yards of burlap, burlap sacks…anything burlap-related.  I purchased 4 large burlap sacks in Canton for $10, which I was so excited about.  At $2.50 per sack, that was definitely a great deal!  I’m […]
