Trouble spot

Thursday, August 20, 2015

Hey yall!  Are you ready for Fall yet?  I am beginning to dream about chilly football Sunday's eating chicken and dumplings. Just the thought of Fall has my decor brain wheels a turning!  I guess the hot weather clogs that part of my brain in the Summer.




Don't worry!  This blog post is not about Christmas.  I am not jumping ahead that far.  I just wanted to show the full teal accent wall with the buffet cabinet on the left and the desk on the right.  

I struggle with how to decorate the left side outside of the Christmas season.


Above is a picture of the current mantel styling.



This is the current decor on the cabinet side, but it just does not do it for me.  I love the mirror, the tall white statue thingy (what do you call one of those?) and my Reader's Digest books.  Everything else can be swapped out. I had it decorated as a bar of sorts but now I have a bar cart.  Plus we don't even drink liquor.

What would you suggest putting on top of the cabinets? 


Missing in Action

Tuesday, July 14, 2015

I know I have been MIA for a couple of months.  The truth is that I started a new position in my real life job.  Quite honestly my work schedule has been crazy and draining and has left little time for the blogging that I love.

If you need a spot to host an event or group in Raleigh, please come visit me at the brand new Courtyard & Residence Inn Raleigh-Durham Airport/Brier Creek!


This Summer hasn't been all work and no play though. We went to Wrightsville Beach in May.



My parents visited us twice in June since the Hubby had to travel for work.


My Dad has had some fairly serious health issues of late so we went home to see my parents this past weekend.  We went to see both my Mom & Dad's art show awards, played in the pool, spent time with Uncle Hugh and Yvette and went bowling.  It was a jam packed Saturday!  We all had a good time.



Nick's parents are coming this Friday so I am sure it will be another fun filled weekend!
