I can breathe now, folks. Gray's MRI came back all clear. I tweeted yesterday that I was feeling relieved, exhausted, and happy beyond measure. Understatement of the century. Now that we're all good, we'll get back to our projects at the moment...building Gray's bed,...

Happy Monday, friends! While I'm a little up the road making over Lauren's nursery today, I wanted to drop in and show you a little makeover I tackled a few weeks ago. The dining room itself was a huge undertaking, but there were lots of little makeovers along the...

Words cannot begin to express our thanks to our sponsors. We are inspired by you, encouraged by you, and are so thankful for the opportunity to share your work and creativity with our readers.                                    Thanks...

Good morning, friends! Just wanted to drop in to tell ya we're running an ebook sale today!! This ebook was such a work of passion for me...and I absolutely want to write another.  (Maybe sometime soon 🙂 My hope is always that it gives you not only tools to create...

Thank you to everyone who commented on yesterday's letter to the birthday boy.  We are certainly concerned, but we are content in the waiting.  He started some meds yesterday and is quite the groggy fella, so I'm actually watching him build an empire with his legos...

Dear Grayson, You're adorable. I bet the Pioneer Woman & Charlie think so too. Especially because you said that we went to school at dark early. You're such a strange, funny kid.  You'd rather build a lego castle and hang with your dad than play all the video...

We love our mantels around the blogosphere. I had ours decorated in the summer, but the last one we talked about was my spring mantel.  Very green, crisp, and well, spring. My buddy Layla is hosting a Fall Mantel party, and I wanted to share with you guys what ours...

When Lauren emailed me a week or so ago, I was so excited to hear from an old college buddy!!  She lives just up the road near Prattville, Alabama and she has a beautiful family...and they're about to welcome a baby girl into this world in a few short weeks. She...

Almost two years ago, I started this blog and a journey certainly began without my knowing it. We began our own journey at home too...we started the renovation of our attic space. The attic, when finished, would be three separate rooms: my office, a playroom, and a...

Change is a good thing. I firmly believe it. It can still be scary, strange, or even surreal.  I think that's why I'm so distracted this week.  I haven't posted quite as much as usual, and honestly, haven't cleaned the house, cooked a lot, or completed any new...

Remember this busted up old girl??? She really was struggling. My wonderful neighbor gave me this piece that belonged to her grandmother, and I was thrilled that a) she deemed me special enough to receive it and b) I'd have some new storage. Three kids take up a lot...

To say that I was unprepared for the kind of week I'd have last week is the understatement of the century. I was pretty pumped to hang out with my best friends, though. Honestly, while Matt and I were so excited to help in any way we could, I had this nagging feeling...

It's 60 and chilly here this morning in Suwanee, GA. I'm savoring the last drops of the first cup of coffee I've had all week. I'm serious.  My eyeballs can attest to that. via The Lettered Cottage We  (by we, I mean, me and Matt and your Lettered Cottage favs, along...

Well, I miss you, friends!!! It's been quite busy here in Atlanta, and I haven't had any time to stop in to your blogs and write to you on the happenings here.  If you follow me on Twitter, you've gotten a glimpse into some of the busy-ness. But know that I'm savoring...

We're off by now to hang with the fabulous Lettered Cottage duo, and I hope to stop in while we're there to show you some of the progress from filming for the Nate Show, a furniture makeover, etc. But anytime I leave the children for any length of time, I cannot help...

Hey friends! I got some major inspiration from last week's All Things Furniture!!   Here's a few projects that stood out to me... Union Jack Cupboard from Shabby Chic Sarah DIY Penny Tile Countertop @ Learn 2 Play  Rustic Farmhouse Table @ RustiChic Create a Farmhouse...

Things have been NUTS around here this week. Always, it is the story of me, the blog, the babies, the man, the house....it's always nutty, but this week has been extra C-c-crazy. This arrived for me yesterday... Do you see that fine print? Yep.  The Nate Berkus Show....

Of all the questions on the dining room makeover, one of the most frequently asked is, "How does the window seat look from the outside?  How did you get it to fit to the window?" I don't have an exact tutorial put together yet, but I do have some general information...
