2012 Christmas Mantle

Hey Hey..

Sorry for the lack of posts... we are currently selling this house :(  It's bittersweet... Our house, our first house gone..

But we are planning to build the next one and that will be our forever home :)

Its very stressful but very exciting, and i'm really not looking forward to moving...

Anyway.. Im hear to show you the Christmas decor I  pondered up this year..  Its completely different from last year and I didn't purchase anything new (I have to much crap)..

Here it is:


So.. there you have it the 2012 Christmas mantle.. and the last mantle ever in this house :(.... However the mantle in the new house will be just as beautiful.

Fall Mantle

Well Hey!!

Thanks for all the awesome comments on the fall tablescape. I really love the neutral colors. Because the dining and living spaces are connected they have to mesh. So I went neutral with that too.

Lets take a look:








Have a great week. Let me know what you think!!

Spring Mantle

Hey!! Hope you all had a great weekend, mine was good... full of manual labor but it looks great!!  Well worth the work, makes me much more proud to have done it myself!  I think I have decided to write a "10 Things to Expect when Remodeling your Own Kitchen".... Stay tuned for that...


I have to admit the kitchen remodel has gone pretty well so far (knock on wood).  We haven't hit to many snags, maybe some meltdowns (I can be dramatic sometimes), just alot of labor. Like heavy heavy, sweaty labor (too much?)

But today I thought I would share my Spring Mantle. With everything that is going on in my life at the moment I feel the need to minamilize a little. You Know? Like after the holidays are over your so exhausted of cooking and putting chiristmas decor away... you just want to chill :)


So lets get to it:

Valentines Day Mantel!


Hi All, hope you are having a great week so far. The weekend is almost here!!  I am super excited because we are ordering our cabinets this weekend. I have waited for this day for 3 years!

They should be coming in just in time for Valentines Day! Speaking of the great V-day I wanted to share this years mantel. I decided to go pink and elegant.

Here it is:







Have a great day!

Fireplace Redo Reveal!

OMG, I am so excited about this reveal. It was totally on a whim that I decided to make it over. I have always looked at my fireplace and said "what the heck am I going to do with you?" and finally I woke up the other morning and decided that was the day I was going to do something. That's how I roll. Like my impromptu trip to Boston for my birthday this year.

Anyway, I have been contemplating on painting my fireplace since we moved in 3 years ago and especially since the banister makeover. So without further ado here it is:

Before:



And here is how it all began:






Sorry about the horrible pics, upstate New York in December is really dark :(

I am planning on painting this wall the same color as the dining room, just so it pops a bit! I will post a tutorial of everything done soon!
Let me know what ya think, I love reading your comments!

So, I received a comment regarding my blue bow that I wanted to address...  My mantel is HUGE, like the biggest widest thing I have ever seen. The entire gas fire box is inside the house, not set into anything, so the box covering it is the mantel. From the pictures it may seem "crowded" but in real life it really isn't.  But I decided to take it off and to tell you the truth I like it both ways... The blue bow just works well with the tree, which is teal and blue.

Here are the updated pics...

Fall Living Room Pics...

Hey, hope you are having a great week. I am so excited for this weekend, I can't even believe it. I have alot to do around the house, like always. But I do have some fun time planned for Saturday!

Anyway, I was playing around with my camera and some lighting. I still don't have it down yet. But I took some good ones so I decided to share.






Have a great, fun-filled, and safe weekend!

Some new additions to the mantle!

Hi All, hope you had a great weekend. I went to our local pumpkin patch this weekend and picked up some awesome white pumpkins to add to our mantle and I think they add a nice touch. I have just finished the front porch and I think it looks great. That will be coming soon. You can check out my previous post on this here.

Here are a few photos:
