Last of Fall and a Sneak Peek~

First, I apologize for lack of posts.  We've had a couple of busy/rough weeks here at our house.  Our youngest had been sick (migraines and sinus/flu), now dad has it, and I am praying I don't get it as I am now in charge of uniforms for 120+ volleyball players at the club.  We also managed to get her room almost complete (we are still working on art/rug?) so I  will show you that soon.  We also redid our Master Closet.  We weeded out and added some great storage from Ikea.  I promise to post pictures of that as well.  But, in the meantime here's a couple fall/Thanksgiving pics and a sneak peek at Christmas (these are from last year).

The last of the fall leaves~

Our Thanksgiving Chalkboard (Hubby says the turkey looks more like the NBC Peacock!)  I never claimed to be an artist!

And, a sneak peek.  Some of the touches in our dining room last year.


Dining Room Chandelier Adorned

Glass Hurricane Filled with Ornaments and Pinecones (the pinecones were dipped in white paint to get the snow covered effect)

Dining Room Tablescape

I am super excited to start decorating the end of next week.  We will be changing some things up this year, as I am going for a  more "natural" look.  Think vines, pinecones, cinnamon sticks, burlap ribbon...

23 Days Until the Invasion!

And, I can't hardly stand it!!!  Word has it they are already plotting down in their little underground world (ie.  our basement).  We do Christmas in a BIG way around here.

So, are you getting excited? or dreading the chaos?  I hope to post some pictures from last year for a little inspiration in the coming weeks.  Christmas decor comes out on Black Friday at our house, the crowded stores I CANNOT deal with!

Steal of the Day~

First, let me thank everyone for their get well wishes.  Our daughter is feeling much better and went back to school today.  Having been couped up in the house for most of the last week keeping a watch on her, I was itching to get out today despite the rainy weather we are having.  So, a trip to Home Goods was in order!

I actually went hoping to find a lamp to put on top of her new expedite bookcase from IKEA, but found this steal instead...

Yesiree...only $14.99!!!

It was perfect for her given what she's currently going through with the migraine headaches, and it was the perfect compliment to her new bedding and room (as you can see a sneak peek behind the pillow).  I hope to have the big reveal soon!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!
