Christmas tree party, 2012

  Well hey! It’s time to show off all those beautiful Christmas trees as we finish up our holiday home linky series again this year! This is probably my favorite little party of the year and it’s become a tradition for me here at TDC. :) I’ve shared our monster, beast of a tree before – we got it last year at Lowe’s and it’s 12 feet of Christmas CHEER. At least that’s what I repeat in my head

December Before and After

Hello all! How was your weekend? We got our beast of a tree decorated and I am so excited to have that done!! I’m pretty much done with the Christmas decor…says the girl who will keep messing with stuff for another two weeks. :) Anyway, today we are kicking off the last Before and After Party of 2012! There were so many great projects last month, but so many that caught my eye were furniture

Show Us Your Foyers and Mud Rooms!

Hey all! How was your weekend? It was lovely here and I got most of the outdoor decor up. Just a couple more strands of lights and we’re done! (And it’s supposed to be near 60 all week – crazy!) It’s SO nice to have it up before the cold hits! Today we’re continuing with another space in our house tour that we’ve had going all year – this month was supposed to be just foyers, but I’m adding in

November Before and After Party!

Hello there! Hope you had a great weekend! The early darkness last night threw me, but today’s bright, sunny morning helped a little. :) Today we’re kicking off November with the Before and After Party, and wow, there were SO many great projects last month I couldn’t wait to share with you! Check these out and then link up your own today! I have loved those sweet velvet pumpkins and acorns

Come party with us!

Hello! I’m tickled pink that it is (almost) that time of the year again! This is one of our favorites – it’s nearly time to share your holiday home with blogland!: Well, you do have a month…but I admit I’m already thinking about it. ;) We’ll start with Layla and Kevin and holiday mantels on the 4th, Kate is up next on the 6th with Christmas crafts, Rhoda will host pretty vignettes on the

Show Us Your Bedrooms!

Hey there! It’s time for another Show Us Yo House party! ;) This time it’s bedrooms. The bedrooms in this house seem to stay the way they are for a looong time, hence the reason I don’t blog about them often. :) I tweaked our master bedroom a little bit last summer and showed you here. It’s changed very little since then. Or…not at all. ;) I still love the Target bedding, especially this time

October Before and After Party!

Hey hey! I totally spaced it on this month’s Before and After Party – I guess all I was thinking about was my project fail I told you about yesterday. (Thanks for all the ideas by the way, I think I have a solution!) And hello…October has totally sneaked up on me in general. People, it will be Christmas before we know it!! So let’s kick it off by sharing just a few of the awesome projects

Mini pumpkins three ways (fall linky!)

Well HEY! I’m back to finish up our series of fall linkies – this time we’re sharing easy, inexpensive, quick fall decor ideas here at TDC!: I’ve already shared a few of my simple fall decorating projects this year – the pumpkin wreath took less than 30 minutes because I just stuck everything in and called it done: And even making the new wood trough for fall goodies in the family room was

September Before and After Party!

Hello hello! It’s time again! Doesn’t it feel like we just did this three days ago with the August Before and After Party? It does to me. The holidays will be here in a blink…it’s unreal. It’s time to do it again peeps, and like always I want to share just a few of the projects that caught my eye from last month. I’m blown away, yet again. You all inspire the socks off of me! First up, you

Show us your family spaces!

Good Monday to ya! Hope your weekend was lovely! I’m kicking off the week with our next room in the Show Us Your House series of linky parties – this one is family rooms and I’m really looking forward to seeing these links!! First up, I’ll share our space. This is one room that just did not work for us for years…and it’s completely my fault. ;) When we built our home I chose a corner fireplace

They’re back! (Fall linky parties)

It’s that time again! Can you even believe it? I have been counting down the days to fall. ;) And these parties are gonna ROCK! We’re back with another It’s Fall Y’all linky party series!: Layla and Kevin at The Lettered Cottage will kick it off with fall tablescape ideas on September 18, then Rhoda at Southern Hospitality will celebrate with outdoor decor on the 20th. The week after Kate

August Before and After Party!

Hello all! How was your weekend? We took a little family trip to Chicago for a few days of shopping, eating, Legos (the store and Legoland!) and just enjoying each other. It was just lovely. Perfect way to end our summer, cause both my boys (the hubs and the Bub) go back to school very soon. And I told you I don’t want to talk about it! ;) Anyway, it’s time for the August Before and After

June before and after Party!

Helloooo! It’s that time again! Another month has come and gone and we’re here again to show off your before and afters. I can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with this month. :) First, as always, I want to share a few of the awesome projects from last month’s party. It’s always so hard to narrow the highlights down to just a few – I’m always blown away by your talent! We’ll kick it off

Show us your kids rooms!

Hello there! It’s time to share another space in your house! I can’t wait to browse through this party, because this month we’re showing off the fun and pretty spaces that are all about our schmushy faces – the kids: Both nurseries and older kids spaces are welcome! I’ll kick it off with another little trip down memory lane -- the Bub’s nursery was an absolute joy to create: *wipes a tear

Show Us Your Kitchens!

Hey hey! Well, first, I have to say THANKS for making me feel a little less weird. ;) I loved your comments on my last post. So either I’m not weird or I am and a whole bunch of you are too. ;) Either way we’re golden. It’s time to show off more of your houses and I’m really excited about this one! This month we’re sharing kitchens at the Show Us Your House party: If you’ve been around for

March Before and After Party!

Hello! It’s time again – party hardy at the March Before and After Party! This year is FLYING. As I mentioned earlier this year, I’ll be highlighting some of the fabulous projects from the month before at each party. (So be sure to link back if you want to be included!) First up, let’s admire the simple but beautiful transformation of Julie’s classy brassy Goodwill lamp:    OK, wait.

Spring Fling and more!

Hello all! Happy Friday to you all! I’m the late one making this fun little announcement, but I had to let you know…we’re baaaaaack!! ;) We have so much fun doing these linkies and I hear you all get some darn good traffic from them, so we are really looking forward it again this spring! For this Spring Fling, Layla will host spring mantel decor, Rhoda will have the door decor party, Kate

Show Us Your Closets!

Heya! Are you ready to show off more of your house? Some of you are totally ready for this party, and some of you will be hanging back checking out the links for some organization inspiration. I get you. ;) This month I’d love to see your closets – anything closet related. A laundry closet, master closet, linen closet, pantries (big or small!), or closets you turn into something else to meet

Office deets and show off yours!

Hello all! Welcome to the first Show Us Your House party! I can’t wait to see the rooms for this month – your craft spaces and offices! I had intentions of getting this first house party up last night, but we had a bit of a family crisis that was my priority. Around ten last night we noticed one of our kitties was looking just…not right. Her sweet face didn’t look like her and right away I knew

Fall Outdoor Spaces Party!

Hey there! It’s here! The final fall linky party in our Fall Extravaganza:Layla, Rhoda and Kate and I have such a blast throwing these shindigs! I hope you have found some inspiration (and new visitors!) throughout the past couple of weeks. My outdoor space started with a big change  -- yes, I painted our front door! I have to admit -- it was nerve-racking. I had been thinking of painting our
