Go see Fireproof!

My husband and I finally saw the movie Fireproof tonight (Tues. night) and it was awesome! I laughed and cried and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was such a moving story about how a husband and wife can find their way back to each other with the Lord's help. Thank you Meme and Poppy for taking care of our precious boy so we could go. We love you and appreciate all you do for us! I will be back later with some pictures of my best friend's house and her fall decor. Bye for now!

I love my new (actually old) chair!

I bought this old chair several months ago at a garage sale for $20. I had been looking for a small comfortable chair to put in front of my window in the living room. This one was just right because the back is low and doesn't cover up the view to the backyard too much. Of course, I knew I'd recover it someday or maybe make a slipcover for it. So, I had been looking at this ugly dated fabric for long enough and told my husband we were going to try to reupholster it ourselves. Well, actually I told him I was going to do it, but he knows by now that he will be very much involved in most projects I undertake. I saw two chairs on A Santamaker's Journey blog that she had redone and fell in love with the fabrics and knew I wanted to copy what she did. Those chairs are GORGEOUS! I told myself to go for it and not play it safe by doing the chair in some fabric that I didn't really love. You know how you think to yourself, "Am I going to like this in a year or two? Shouldn't I go neutral so I can use this in any room?". I said NO, I am going to redo this chair in fabrics that I love right now and not worry about the future. I want this chair to be CUTE CUTE CUTE! So, here is my recovered garage sale chair in all its glory. I love it! I have to say thank you and send big hugs and kisses to my wonderful husband who helped me. Well, he really did it and I helped him. I got me one awesome husband! I love my chair and am just giddy when I look at it every time I walk through the room. I am so happy when a project turns out the way you want it to! Happy Tuesday to you!

New Cute and CHEAP Clocks

I got these 2 clocks from Kirklands the other day. They were $5.98 each - CHEAP! They were on clearance for $7.97 and then extra 25% off. I was like, heck yeah! I hung one in my kitchen and it really goes with the look I like. I am not sure where I'll put the other one or if I'll even keep it. I'm sure I probably will because it was such a good price. Hope y'all are having a great weekend. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Friday Favorites

Oh, how I adore rooster decor - fabric, figurines, pictures, plates, and the list goes on. I love the whole French country look and roosters go along with that theme. Here are some roosters I have around my house.












The picture above (the last picture) is fabric and part of a big project my husband and I are currently working on. I am so excited about it and can't wait to finish so I can show you! Have a fun and creative weekend!!!

Fall at My Parents' House

Here are pictures of some of the fall decor at my parents' house. My mom is still putting out stuff. She has lots more in her attic that hasn't been put out yet. I may have to plunder around and use some of hers. She has way more than I do! We both love decorating for each season. Don't you?!

New Dining Room Curtains

I bought some red tab top curtains for my dining room and knew I wanted to add something to them to make them more interesting and dressier. Y'all know I gotta have me some pretty fabric with a pattern on it - no solid fabric for this girl!


So, I bought 1/2 a yard of this Waverly toile fabric I have already used throughout my home and hot glued together some little toppers and just pinned them to the top of the curtains. I like it because I can change out the fabric very easily and for little money. I may even put some Christmas fabric up there in December. I am already excited about decorating for Christmas because I see all the cute stuff in the stores! Have a great day everybody!!!

Another Tray Transformation

I got two of these trays for 10 cents each. All I did was spray the tray (oooh, I rhymed!) with chalkboard paint and hotglued a bow on it. Easy as pie!!! I put it on an easel on my computer desk in my guest bedroom/office. I think it's pretty cute. Hope y'all don't get tired of all my trays because there will be more to see!
