Dog gone it

Life feels like it is moving at lightening speed. I have 1/2 a dozen projects going on & on top of my personal projects, the Etsy store has been a hit.  I’ve been cranking out little Hokie gift sets faster than I thought possible. Be sure to contact me if you need a little something [...]

Fall is Back?

I must admit, I’m a bit jealous of all the Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and blog posts from my more Northern friends. I’ve read about your hunt for black skinny jeans, your delight in the return of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the heightened hectic mornings, and the new bite in the air.  It seems that as you [...]

In over my head

I have a problem.  Well technically several problems all with the same source.  I can’t seem to get a project done.  We’ve chatted before about my tendency to leave projected unfinished, but this time is different (I think). I am currently working on several projects that are progressing nicely; however, each time I begin it [...]

Down on the Farm

Beau & I spent a beautiful weekend in Duck Key participating in an Engineering Conference for his work.  The association meeting was held at Hawk’s Cay Resort.  The resort was gorgeous, overlooking the beautiful clear blue water with little tiki huts scattered across the ocean front. I’m typically not a huge fan of hotel room [...]

Knick, Knack, Paddy-Whack

White Elephant

One of my favorite parts of decorating is the knickknacks.  You can completely change a room with just a few pieces, the addition of a new accent color, or even by a little rearranging. A few weekends ago Lallisola and I went antiquing.  We did it up – flea markets, antique stores, consignment stores – [...]

My Muse

MasterMuse

On Monday I told you I was pulling out my design book, The Meghan Method, for some serious planning.  I got the book for Christmas & whew is it a task. So far, our Master Bedroom is my least favorite room in the house.  It has also received the least attention. It seems backwards that [...]

My Home’s Message

Over a year ago, I told you all the things that needed to be done to my townhouse.  At the time, I didn’t know what the long-term plan was but I knew I needed some guidelines in completing my home improvement projects. This time around Beau & I are lucky enough to have a new [...]

Candy Store Closet

Has anyone seen the Special K commercial that touts “a closet that feels like a candy store?” I can’t find the video online for you right now; however,I saw the commercial for the first time yesterday and all I can say is JEALOUS!!!! – Update (2/23) – Found the YouTube Video The closet in the [...]

The Great Couch Debacle

We’ve had guests the past few days, so I’ve been off entertaining and showing off our new home.  Now that they’ve departed, I’m back to fill the void and I can’t believe I haven’t shared our great couch debacle with you yet. A few weeks ago, I told you about our brand new sectional that [...]

An acutal conversation….

This is a loose recap of an actual conversation had in our home: Me: “So I was thinking, if you can get me some of those pallets from work I can make two kick ass night stands for the Master.” Beau: “What pallets?” Me: “Ya know, the ones shipments come in on.” Beau: “Oh yeah…..Are [...]
