It has been so hot here lately.  The hottest weather we’ve had in a while.  And then something happened yesterday.  It rained!  And just like that, there was a hint of fall in the air. Continue reading “Mirrored console table – ready for fall!”

Happy Monday everyone!  K.  You know how when you click on my blog there is a green menu bar at the top and on the left side there are the words “House Tour?”  And you click on it only to find there’s nothing there but a “coming soon!”  Well it finally came!  So happy to report that I spent a good amount of time last week and this weekend rounding up pics I’ve shared on the blog and putting them all together to create a house tour.  YEA.  That little project has been on my to-do list for oh.. about a year since I made the move to WordPress.  Ha!

Quite often I get asked questions about the rugs throughout my house.  Where did I buy them.. how are they holding up.. would I recommend them.  I was looking up one of my rugs on-line the other night to help answer a question someone e-mailed me and I saw that my rug was on sale.  So I looked up another rug I own in a different room.  On sale too.  Before long I realized that almost every rug I have throughout my house is currently on sale!  I guess this makes sense because I bought all of these rugs in the past year or two since we’ve been in the new house so a lot of them are marked down and on their way out.  That little discovery prompted today’s post.  I’m sharing info. and sources for most of my rugs!  And if you’ve been debating getting one of them for your home.. now is the time.  :) Continue reading “Let’s talk RUGS”

I was going through some pictures this weekend – making some sort of attempt to get my picture folders organized after being lazy over the summer and dumping everything in one spot – and I came across some yard pics I never shared.  These were taken in the spring and to be honest, when I first saw them they made me kind of sad.  Because of the drought here in So. Cal we have cut back water so much that my yard isn’t looking nearly this pretty.  I’m so glad I took these pics when I did!  Everything was just starting to bloom and grow.  My plants and lawn were so happy once upon a time.  :)  There is a lot of talk about us having an “El Nino” year and getting a lot of rain this winter.  I’m kind of obsessed with reading the news about it!  Fingers crossed it does more good than bad and we get some much needed moisture around here.
