Thought I Would Share

So this week I received a few things in the mail. Most of us order things via internet, it’s easy and for me shopping with a toddler isn’t easy, so instead of getting myself crazy I shop often online.

If anyone reads this blog, you know that I am in the mist of decorating my home. I have to tell you, it’s a process for me. I am always looking for the perfect finishing touches, which sometimes it takes a little longer to complete a room or a project but I love the process so I don’t mind. I scour through magazines, catalogues & my new favorite pinterest.

So when I have found something I love I want to share it!

I also tackled painting my master bathroom on our first snow day of the season here in NY. This was on the “to do” list for a year, but….you know how it goes when you have small kiddos. So it finally got done 1 year after moving in & wanted to share that also.

1. Number Door Decals

A while back I had seen a front door with iron numbers in the center & thought “I like that!” but at the time we were in between homes so I held onto the idea for another day. I was so excited when I found Leen the Graphics Queen on Etsy. Her decals are even better than the iron ones because they are removal & they don’t make nail holes, yeah!!!.

2. Canvas

I love the idea of adding a different texture when hanging photographs, adding a canvas print of a special photo does that. I searched online & found a great price at
The Canvas People. This is 16 x 24 and it’s perfect! I love it!

3. Paint Color

So like I said we tackled the bathroom. I like to paint & my husband has the patience to tape (not me) so we split the job. I used one of my favorite paint colors, Sprig of Ivy. It is an Olympic Paint at Lowes, I liked the brand because it has low to no VOC’s. It sounds green but it’s a very organic & serene color. I love to mix it with lots of natural textures and colors.

The Before


It’s hard to tell with the lighting but this was a bright cottage green.


The After

4. Brooke Burke Video

I know this has nothing to do with decorating but I have been trying to loose my baby weight for almost 2 years & this summer I began running again & LOVED it but….living in the NE the weather can be a little iffy. So I wanted to have a backup, I bought a few videos over the last few weeks and didn’t like them. I am NOT coordinated at all, I have 2 left feet. This video is super easy to follow & SOOOOO effective! I found it at Amazon.

Happy Sunday!

Puppy Update + New Food Contributor

It’s been a crazy week, so much going on with my Sherwin-Williams makeover and also another BIG makeover I am working on with Rebuilding Together. John’s birthday was Thursday and now my boys are off for the week, phew! The last 2 weeks were also a little nuts as I was filming for my Abstract Art Class . You will be really surprised by some of the personal things I open up about and some of the tools I use to create art if you sign up for this class, which I so hope you will.
Anywho….I have been meaning to give an update on our puppy Denver. I have had so many questions from where he sleeps, to his energy level & temperament, to if we are still happy we made the decision. As most of you know John didn’t really want another dog. He liked being able to go away and not worry about doggie care and he also didn’t miss the chaos a dog can sometimes bring to an already hectic family life. But…I pushed for it. I wanted my boys to have this experience. With Murphy it was like they woke up one day and there he was, already in his senior years. They still loved him tons but never had that puppy experience. I am not going to lie, I was nervous being the one who ultimately made the decision on this. So nervous! You hear stories about puppies and how they uproot your life & change the dynamics of the whole house. I needed and hoped so desperately for a good experience with our new little pup. Well….it has been 7 months that we have had him and he is now 9 months old. He is the biggest love and we all adore him so, even John.
