Cool, crisp mornings have arrived turning into warm, sunny afternoons. Perfect fall weather here in the northwest. It inspires me to want to “do fall” all day long with DIY projects, my home, family activities, and furniture.

Good morning, I was finally able to sneak some time in to get some fall decorating done. Not a lot, but enough to satisfy me for now.

Happy Friday! At our house, Fall Fridays are the start of a three day football frenzy. High school tonight, college tomorrow and Pop Warner on Sunday. My back and shoulder are killing me and I can’t say if it is because of all the painting I’m doing, or sitting on so many bleachers for such long periods of time! I … [Read more...]
I know many of you are familiar with Design Seeds and may recall an older post of mine where I introduced some of you to the website. I love how she pulls together colors to validate how compatible they can be. Fall colors, to me, are the best color palette you can work off of for your home because they come from natural … [Read more...]
Good morning! I hope your week is going well. Just a few more days until the weekend. I’ve been really busy in the shop and haven’t had much time to be at the computer.
