Hi There!I know that Halloween is over. Boo-hoo :( It was a very cold and windy night here, we only had a few Trick-or-Treaters. I never had time to carve the pumpkins we had, let alone show you the rest of the decorations in the house. Here is a look at the Halloween decor I had put up in the dining room and the living room front window.I didn't change out the decorations in the Odd built...

A New Rug for the Living Room

Jackie Hill September 22, 2014 0 Comments
I love my rug from Ikea. It's Black and White and goes with everything. The pattern is bold and modern, yet traditional at the same time. The price is great, only $99 for a 7'x9' rug. The problem? We have two dogs, and a cat. You can see pet hair on it, even after you vacuum. And they stained it. No one peed on it mind you, just walking on it made it dingy. And maybe there was some...

The Front window and a Blue glass collection

I have been wanting to show pictures of our front window.  It is such a great feature of the house. I have just been waiting for an overcast day to try and take the photos. Too much sun coming through the window has not been kind to my photos in the past.  And I have been playing around with my camera, trying to make my pictures look better. Not all of these are great. And some have a...

A Table for Now

The story of a new coffee table continues.I have been wanting a new coffee table for a while now. I've looked for one at thrift stores, garage sales, and even took a trip to Ikea. I have been wanting something square to fit in with our sectional. I just couldn't find one that worked for our living room.Here is a little backstory, last year I got a divorce and sold my house of 15 years. We had so...

A bad Trip to Ikea, was still pretty good.

I have been wanting a new coffee table. A square one to fit right in the "L" of the sectional couch. It is not anything I need, I just want one. I think it will fit better for the flow of the living room.The galvanized metal one that we have, I have had for years. I love it. I love the metal, I love the scalloped "apron" around the top, and I love that it's "different". Not the typical type of...

When you know it’s the One.

I love thrifting. I love garage sales and second hand things. But sometimes it is worth it to spend the money. Sometimes you know it's the One. The one you want. The one you have been thinking of.I have been wanting a glass lamp for the living room. I saw this blue-green glass baby at Lowe's. I would have to buy the base and shade separately. I would also needed a harp and finial to connect the...

I can see Red, again!

What is with the color Red lately? I never used to like it. Not at all. I have always been a Blue, Green, Black, Gray, or Purple kind of a girl. The cool colors on that side of the color wheel. Do you remember that from junior high art class? Anyway, I have in the past liked some Pinks and a few Yellows. But never Red. Now I am using it more and more. It can be so warm, and inviting and can...

One window, three curtains

I love Target. I can't say that enough. I love the quality, the selection, the prices. I go at least once a week, and spend at least $50. Now I get everything there, food, clothes, shoes, household cleaners, movies, sheets, towels, make-up, the list goes on and on. And I love when they mark things down on clearance. So many things I have gotten when they were marked down. The clock in my dining...

Gallery Wall

A gallery wall for the girl who doesn't want to put up baby pictures. I did that so many years ago. Those babies are 18 and 20 now. They are still cute, I just don't need to document every moment anymore. This wall is just to make me smile, and it does.  :)I love this so much!! I have added so much color to this little spot in the living room. It came out just how I pictured it I have...
