This post is sponsored by The Home Depot and ShopStyle Collective.     I love to fill our home with plants this time of year.  Because after I take all of the Christmas trees and the winter garland down, it looks and feels lifeless.  Artificial plants do the trick of freshening up our home.  And, they […]

  I have said it a million times and I’m saying it again.  I cannot keep living plants alive.  Flowers and ferns on the front porch are a different story.  I do well with those. Because there is a CHANCE there will be regular rain to water them and some sun light.  So between the […]

We just got back from a fun and relaxing trip to North Carolina.  We went to see my sister, who lives in Greensboro, for almost a week.  She moved there last August and we had never been there to see their new house.  I should say OLD house.  Their home was built in the 1920s […]

  If you are new here to this little space, I try to give you a fireplace mantel idea every month.  I haven’t been able to decorate a fireplace for years.  We had our television above it the last two homes.  So, I’m having so much fun switching this one out every month.  If you […]
