My kitchen still needs the subway tile and flooring which is still in my craft room waiting like me and my hubs for his back issues to be resolved.  Meanwhile time and holidays march on. My pictures are giving me a hard time tonight with loading so I may have to do a part 2.

I decided to post my master bedroom today instead of the dining room. But I promise to post the dining room and kitchen soon. We were on the lookout for some new but antique furniture when we moved into our house 2 years ago. As luck would have it, our daughter and I were having… Continue reading Santa knows when you are sleeping.

That’s my favorite Christmas song. And Carol of the Bells. Even as a kid, I sang the rum pum pum pum part in the Drummer Boy. It was pretty much all I remembered of the words. When I was growing up, my mom used to sing hymns and carols while the family was in the… Continue reading Drummer Boy

Which do you serve for Thanksgiving? In my mind, it has to be turkey. But I know others offer different choices like Quail, Pheasant, beef or pork. The best thing about Thanksgiving besides being with family, is the left overs. Nothing beats a white meat turkey sandwich on bread with mayo. Yummo. Even though, we… Continue reading TURKEY OR HAM?

It’s almost time for my annual Halloween bash and I am finishing up some decor . This usually happens up until the first guest arrive. Lighting is important here because while I know guests need enough light to see each other, there is a spookiness that I want to achieve with candles. But then there… Continue reading Spooky

Halloween is my second favorite holiday after Christmas. I do take extreme care and lots of research deciding on how I want to do my decor because I host a Halloween bash every year now for the past years. However; as a child, I was traumatized by a neighbors haunted tour so that I don’t… Continue reading Halloween Beginnings

I love to set a pretty table although we rarely eat at the table. We used to eat at the table at our old house but we can’t see the tv from this dining room and what can I say. However, this does allow me to see a pretty table without disturbing it. I just… Continue reading Fall Dining

I know, I know, I’ve broken some holiday code by not waiting until after Labor Day to start my Fall decorating and for many (many) years I followed protocol but this year I decided that since Fall is my favorite season especially all the coziness that fall offers my home with its warm colors I… Continue reading I cheated Summer

Okay, I am still a Fixer Upper fan and am sad they won’t be filming anymore. I did get to visit their store the Silo’s which was awesome. Having said that, my husband and I are shopping for a new recliner that doesn’t look like a grandpa chair. Our green recliner decided to bite the… Continue reading Magnolia Home
