This spring weekend was a perfect 10 here in Atlanta. The weather was gorgeous and I even pulled out my favorite summer wardrobe staple, white jeans (before Memorial Day, GASP), for our Braves game date night on Saturday night. So between tomahawk chopping and watching basketball I was still able to sneak in a weekend project. Last week, we saw my back porch in it’s… View Post
It’s that time of year again…time to start being inspired with back porch ideas! the time of year when I dream of a beautiful back porch… where friends just pop in for a glass of wine … and there is a stocked outdoor kitchen … a covered roof … with fans breezing … the weather is perfect … and there are… View Post

We won’t be home for Easter Sunday and I needed something spring-y to do during Mr. Big Stuff’s nap to help get through the cold and rainy Atlanta weekend. I couldn’t resist the excuse to set an Easter table for a family lunch we were hosting this past weekend. Probably a bit formal for burgers but any excuse to… View Post

When we first bought our house three years ago, we just used what we had to decorate. Partly because we were broke, and partly because I wanted to let the house evolve over time. We were guiltiest in the guest room- we moved in, we plopped furniture down, and we moved on. Guest Room Before = boring…snooze…yawn…blah…and it sat like this for about 3 years. I did manage… View Post
I love the use of bold statement colors on the campaign furniture out in the blogosphere. I think EVERYONE has seen this gem by now, featured in Lonny magazine. And then Emily Clark gave us this eye candy in her home office redo Imagine my hysteria excitement when I stumbled across a couple campaign beauties at my local Goodwill a couple years ago…maybe even sending texts to my… View Post
We had a great time hosting a “Sprinkle” for a friend this weekend. For those not familiar, a sprinkle is a less extravagant, usually with a smaller guest list “shower” for a second or third baby. We decided to keep the menu simple with a hot chocolate bar and dessert spread. To keep the decor easy, I pulled out all of the linens,dishes and fabric… View Post
