Styling a Home

Well I finally feel like I am coming out from under all the boxes.
I forgot how much work moving is!
I have missed blogging and checking out all the creative ideas you all have posted, expecially since Fall is on it's way..can I get an amen!? I am over this heat!

I have a confession to make...I have issues about having things in order, ok there I said it! 
The boxes and stuff laying around just makes me feel so out of control...please tell me I'm not alone!
Hubby was home all last week for the move and closings so we had some very productive time together getting things put back in order.
I love decorating new spaces!!

I wanted to share a few pics of some spaces as I go...starting with the foyer area
Sorry, I'm not good at getting too many befores, I usually just jump right in and get busy so I forget about it.



The bench I got in Tennessee when visiting my SIL, the basket is from a antique store, pillows from PB outlet, mirror (Canton), accessories from local stores



This is a somewhat narrow space as you enter the front door so I needed to keep the space simple
Can you see the french doors in the mirror...love!!




This little niche is also close to the front door and gives a little light at the entry
That is one of my favorite pics of my sweet babies!



A close up....
I always place a cross at the entry of our home (either inside or out) it's important that I remember as I enter that He is always the head of our home!

This has been a perfect move for us
We are loving our new home and look forward to many new memories here!
Now, off to style another room...

Have a blessed day!!

MIA

Hey girls..sorry I have been missing lately but the day has come...
Tomorrow we will be moving things into our new home!
Can I get an amen!

It will be a couple of days before we have our new service hooked up and ready to go
I will miss checking out your ideas and inspiration but look forward to seeing all the ideas that are popping up for fall! It finally felt like the start of a fall morning here today...finally, this 100 plus weather is for the birds
I look forward to sharing some decorating pictures and hopefully some projects too!

I hope you all have a blessed week!

See ya soon!!

A Light and Courage

Wow, I can't believe its been so long since my last post!
I will be glad to get moved and settle in so I can get back to projects. Just in time with the Fall and Christmas season sneaking up on us! 
I love Fall..it's my favorite season! 

My light is finally up and I am loving it! I need to get the bulbs but look how big it is!
Loooove!!





I cannot wait to see her all lit up over my table!

I got to spend the day today with one of my favorite people in the world!
My baby girl!
We went for pedicures, grabbed some lunch and headed to the movies to see THE HELP
Have you seen this? If not...GO!! Grab your daughter, your mom, your best girlfriend, your sister, whoever and go see this fabulous movie! 
I laughed, cried and just felt so encouraged when I left.

There were so many favorites for me in this movie but the one thing that stood out for me was the amount of Courage it took for both Skeeter and The Help to do what was right. 

Sometimes that means losing friends...
Sometimes that means losing our life....
Sometimes it's not popular....
Sometimes its scary....
DO IT ANYWAY!

Courage creates change and Courage changes lives!

It was such a blessing to be with my daughter to see this movie.. I pray that she will always remember to be courageous and I pray that I will always live that out in front of her!

You is Kind..You Is Smart...You Is Important
(Words to fill our children with every day)

Have a wonderful day!
