Monday Favorites – Link Up Party Picks (April 6)
Hey, everyone! Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! Today I am sharing my favorite projects that were shared at last Wednesday’s A Little Bit of Everything Link Up Party. Shirley of Beachwood Place shared her beautiful dining room. I just love the big rustic dining table, the woven chairs and the gorgeous chandelier.

Sharla of The Chaos and the Clutter blog shared her recipe for One Pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo - made with goat cheese. Yum! I adore goat Continue reading...

I have been working to update the decor in most of my home, but one room that has remained mostly untouched is the master bedroom. I have made updates to the room recently, but I still have a way to go to get the room where I want it to be. I've recently added a Samara 6 Piece Coverlet Set (that I purchased on Amazon.com) to my bedroom -- I really love how the coverlet set adds color to the room. I have been kicking around some Continue reading...

Last week, I was lucky enough to co-host the Creative Spark Link Up Party. It was so much fun! There were so many great projects and ideas shared! So today I am sharing my favorite tutorials and projects from that party! I am crazy about Deb from Seeking Lavender Lane's Tutorial on how to keep a beautiful home with kids!

Sunny & Bright Living Room
*Mohawk Home provided an area rug for this makeover. Hi, everyone! I have been loving my new living room! It has been through quite a transformation.

So, when I chose the children’s furniture for their kids room, I chose children’s furniture that would give us the most space as possible for storing their things. Their room is fairly large, but not that big, considering that we must fit two twin beds in there, a dresser, and as many places as possible Continue reading...
