A Welcoming Sign-Literally

One more addition to our front porch makeover!

I decided to add a vinyl decal to the front door for the final touch! I’m just giddy over how awesome it turned out! It really is all the little touches that make the entrance more inviting and welcoming don’t you think?

I ordered the decal from Household Words. Mandie was wonderful to work with, even answering my silly questions prior to my order! She even provided quick delivery and great installation instructions (especially for a timid DIYer like myself!). Mandie offers a wide variety of decals for every area of your home.

From mailbox monograms…

to children’s room decals…

and spaces between!

Something to consider when you’re adding those personal touches to your home. Happy decorating!

Where I Blog

Today I’m participating in Kate’s blog party, “Where I Blog” over at Centsational Girl. Right now, my little blogging oasis isn’t much to get excited about. However, that’s all about to change as we put the finishing touches on our home office redo which I blogged about here. Just to highlight a couple things on

Home Office Inspiration

The hubby and I are in the midst of a home office redo. The home office was originally our formal dining room then used solely for his office space. However, with us doing a lot of collaborating, we figured it would be better for us to share the space instead of me in the studio

White House/Black Planters

about 2 weeks ago - 4 comments

I posted last month about some front porch makeovers we were doing around here. Part of the makeover included those white planters on either side of the door. As much as I was digging having the colorful flowers at the entryway, I was not digging the boring, blah, white planters. So I emptied out the

So, after working on getting the house straight before we leave for vacation, I decided I just HAD to get out of the house. And where else would I go but thrifting! The only kiddo that was willing to go on this adventure with me was Kinley, my (step)daughter. She’s a great shopping companion! We

Ok, now that we all have that 70′s hit by Anita Ward stuck in our head, let’s boogie on down to my front door. Ummmm…..yep. That was our yellowing, not-so-stylin’ doorbell. Not so groovy, huh?! It really seems to stand out, especially after all the recent porch updates. Funny how I never even paid attention

Porch Decking Dilemma

about 2 months ago - 1 comment

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we were having a dilemma over what to do with the porch decking. We considered replacing the wooden decking with composite decking like this from Lowe’s. However, the $600+ price tag just isn’t in our budget right now. So we decided to give the current wooden deck boards a

I love how cute this candy dish/jar turned out. This is what the poor guy looked like when I brought him home from the thrift store. He was tucked back on a Christmas shelf, all dusty and sad looking. He was only a buck so I couldn’t just leave him there! After a VERY good
