Unexpected Elegance

Closet Organization

Filed Under: Closets, Makeovers, Projects

One of the things on my "list" of things to do in 2013 was to get my jewelry organized.  Well as you know one thing always leads to another and before I knew it I had my closet torn apart.  Don't get me wrong, it totally needed a "spring cleaning" even if we are few months away. So now my room is a disaster!  BUT, as I always tell my husband it's going to look worse before it looks better. ;) It feels so good to get my jewelry off the top of the dresser in my room. It had become a huge pile ...

Beef Chunk Chili Recipe

Filed Under: Comfort Food, Projects, Recipes

I wanted to start by saying I've NEVER been a fan of beans...or chili for that matter!  Now that that's out of the way, let me say that I love THIS chili recipe.  And since this recipe has completely changed my opinion on chili...I thought you might like to try it. I'm definitely not someone who enjoys cooking, so I tend to stick to simple recipes that I know my family will like.  This one can be modified to fit your taste, as well. (click recipe card to download)  I prefer to eat this dish ... Read More about Beef Chunk Chili Recipe

Girl’s Room Update

So, I'm slowly but surely finishing up small projects around the house and starting some bigger ones.  One of the small ones, involved a table I had purchased from another vendor at the Christmas Artisan Market.  I bought it from Tammy, who owns Junk Situation.  She has such a talent for turning "junk" into treasures.  I fell in love with a small table she had made, and wanted to use it as a vanity in the girl's room. Here's the area with the new table. The chair I wanted to use in this space ... Read More about Girl’s Room Update

Surrender

Filed Under: No Category

I'm not a "resolution" maker.  Generally at the beginning of every year, I will make a mental list of things I want to accomplish.  I thought this year, I would take some time and write down my goals for the year.  So I made my list... I'm "technically" a stay-at-home mom, but I juggle a LOT of balls.  Taking care of my family is my number one job, but I also have a part-time marketing job, two shops and my blog.  I find myself worrying about all the things that need to get done, things I ...

Loft Makeover

Filed Under: Makeovers, Projects, Shopping my spaces

Well, the kiddos went back to school yesterday after two weeks off.  I have to say I had a little bit of mixed emotions.  Don't get me wrong I feel like I'm so behind on so many things, but I also love having them around.  It's going to take a few days to get used to them being gone again. I know it's been a while since my last post, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on things.  My parents were here over the Christmas break and my Mom helped me on the girl's loft. We went through ... Read More about Loft Makeover
