Every month, I set three monthly goals for myself. These goals are smaller things I hope to achieve or accomplish in the next few weeks.

Currently (September) & JORD Giveaway
"This post was sponsored by JORD Wood Watches." Every month I join Carrie of Curly Craft Mom in posting a "Currently" post. In these posts, I go beyond my usual decorating, craft and recipe topics and share what I am currently excited about and what's going on in my life. I've seen "Currently" posts by other bloggers, too, and it's a lot of fun to read what others have been up to. I'm looking forward to fall -- I am excited that it will officially be fall this week! I am happy about changing leaves, pumpkins, hayrides and fun day trips with family and Continue reading...
September Goals
Every month, I set three monthly goals for myself. These goals are smaller things I hope to achieve or accomplish in the next few weeks. I’ve found that setting small goals each month helps me to get things done! My friend, Carrie at Curly Craft Mom, got me started on this helpful habit! The recap of my August goals are at the bottom of this post. 1 - Take Better Photos – I bought myself a beautiful Nikon DSLR camera about a year ago. The camera has helped me to take better photos for the blog. I have to admit, though, I am still taking photos in the automatic mode. (In my Continue reading...
Chalk Painted Jewelry Armoire {Thrifted Item Makeover}
I am a Decorart blogger and received free product for the completion of this project. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. Today I am participating in the Thrifted Item Makeover with a wonderful group of talented bloggers! In this blog hop, we all picked an old or thrifted item to upcycle into a new look or purpose! For my project, I chose to makeover an old, ugly oak jewelry cabinet that I had hidden in a closet. (For the other projects in this blog hop, check out the links at the end of this post.) I never thought I'd refinish furniture -- I am more of an artsy Continue reading...

My friend, Carrie at Curly Crafty Mom, got me started on setting small, personal goals each month. Setting these small goals for myself really help to get things done! I set goals for July, but I have to admit that with a two-week family summer vacation, and with my kids out of school for the summer, I didn't get that much done. But, I did make some progress on my goals. Because I know I will be busy this month Continue reading...

Chalk-Painted Piano Bench for Front Door Mud Room Area
Thanks to Chalkworthy by providing the paint and supplies for this post. All opinions expressed in this post are honest and 100% my own. My family has been needing a place to sit by our home's front door. We have a small mud room area next to our home's front entrance, where we remove our shoes before coming into the house. Not wearing shoes in our house helps keep the carpeting and the house much cleaner! So, I recently chalk painted and stenciled an old piano bench so we have a pretty place to sit! My family and I used to own a piano called an Acrosonic. The piano was great Continue reading...
New Living Room Decor
Thanks to Lamps Plus and Paint-A-Pillow for sponsoring this post. I received free product in exchange for my honest review, and all opinions expressed in this post are my own. Just last month, I completed a big curb appeal project, in which I add style and function to a front garden area by building a DIY cinder block and wood bench and adding beautiful container gardens. My living room looks out onto that beautiful new space, so I decided that my home's living room could use a makeover, too. The below photo shows my lovely new garden area. It rained shortly after I added my pillows Continue reading...
