OT Groceries

I know this is off topic but...saving money on groceries means more money for decorating!
So here is a list of grocery sales cycles.

Burlap Update and Drapes

As you can see the sun has darkened the burlap.

I like how some areas are dark and some light.
More contrast.

I added drapes custom made by ME ;).

The pattern is Waverly Charlotte in Smoke

You can tell by the Nerf ammo stuck to the window I have many boys.

I cannot sew, so these are basically glued and taped together.

This picture shows the change the sunshine has made to the burlap.
I love it.

I trimmed the edge in a large brown Ric-Rac.
Covers a multitude of sins.

Curated Eclectic Style

See the back of the sofa...is that Schumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon? Seriously I have to have some. I know its probably old to some but I just can't seem to get over it. I also can't really afford it, does anyone have a good CHEAP substitute. And, would I be happy with a substitute?

Happy Orange

Dana Gibson

Of course I can't afford any but a girl can dream right.
Oh, how long can I continue to call myself a girl?

I want some DRAGON!

Have you seen this image from Country Living. I am swooning over the red door, brown walls and of course the Chiang Mai Dragon.
Please Santa bring me some Dragons.

Have you ever shopped at Bonanza? I just heard about it but I now have my ebay items listed. Please check me out---I have some great treasures.

Memories of Mother's Day

I know it has been several months since Mother's Day but I wanted to show y'all what I have done to keep the sweet
memories close.






























It makes me happy to see the letters and pictures my children have made for me. I love to see beautiful houses in magazines but for my house this is what makes it a home.
