Technical Difficulties

I'm having technical difficulties with my blog.

...and I have some great DIY holiday gift ideas to share with you! 

I'm working fast to resolve the issues.

Thank you.

Decorating with Pine Cones for the Holidays

Love to decorate with pinecones during the holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving.  I collect them thoughout the year whenever/wherever I see them on the ground.

Below are "a few photos" of pinecone tablescapes:

I hope the above photos inspire you to create an easy, affordable, DIY pinecone tablescape for your space this holiday season!

DIY Bathroom Decorating on a Shoe "Strang"

The bathroom was the first room to come together in my new space.  It had been professionally painted, navaho white, (ugh!) and was in excellent condition.  I didn't want to tackle repainting it so I "washed down" the walls and used color, art and accessories to take your focus away from the wall color.  The bathroom sink was too small for a soap dish, so I purchased liquid hand soap from Home goods that had a blue label to add more color to the room.  In the future, I plan to paint the trim around the brown door mirror and the outside of the claw foot tub a medium grey.  But for now, I can live with it!

River Rocks-Thanks "W Hotels" for this tranquil idea.

I used this towel rack in my kitchen at my last home.  It's repurposed to be
a paper towel and guest towel holder.  Who knew?

Have a great weekend and be kind!
