Happy 1st Day of Fall, Y’all! 🍁Who knew there

Happy 1st Day of Fall, Y’all! 🍁Who knew there is a #wallpaperwednesday ? I feel like I’m back in the ‘70s & ‘80s a little because I’m loving the wallpaper (mine is by @schumacher1889 ) trend! Back then my mom even had it on the ceiling (they say that’s the 5th wall!)! 🥰

Next to the wallpaper in here I love the pumpkin stackers. This seems to be a new-ish trend too. Make up a few stackers BEFORE you leave the pumpkin patch to see what works well together. Mix up the colors! White, different shades of orange, even green! 🎃

I don’t put a lot of real pumpkins inside but I make an exception for my dining table. It’s too hot outside for pumpkins anyway!

Bring on the fall temps! 🍂

SHELVES. Before & After. Actually it’s “After

SHELVES. Before & After. Actually it’s “After & Before”, because who wants to put the old photo first?!?

I’m so excited to have white shelves that are straight at the top (don’t ask me why that annoyed me) with blue & white accessories! The off-white glaze seemed so dirty. Thank you, @donna_sikorski for getting me to this point! The paint is Decorator White by @benjaminmoore & if you were to look closely you’d see we painted right over grass cloth wallpaper that was on the backs of the shelves. Gives them nice texture. 💙🤍💙🤍

Whatever you have on your shelves, just take a little bit of it out. I had to learn this lesson myself. The “negative” space is easy on the eyes!

I miss that glass lamp in the “before” pic. But one night our dog Buddy heard something outside and ran like lightning over to the window…and caught his tail on the cord. It was a crash of epic proportions but thankfully Buddy wasn’t hurt. I’ve moved on to a less dangerous lamp. 🐶

Learn something new every day! There is a wall dir

Learn something new every day! There is a wall directly across from this little chest. Doesn’t give me enough room to back up and do a full photo. I kept wondering how am I going to do this?!? 🤷‍♀️

Then I accidentally hit the .5 button, for half zoom (not sure of the correct technical term?) and boom! It was like I was 10’ away! You’d think the kids could have filled me in on this earlier? 😂

This vintage navy dresser makes me smile bc it was a FB Marketplace find…that was located in SC! We picked it up on the way back from the beach earlier this summer. With 3 people in the car, 2 sets of golf clubs & tons of luggage. On the steepest, most narrow driveway I’ve ever seen.

Moral of the story: when there’s a will there’s a way! 😂💙

I’m going to just admit it. I’m obsessed with

I’m going to just admit it. I’m obsessed with home decor. I HATE shopping for clothes, hate trying them on and always have! Going into department stores stresses me out. I’ve always been a tomboy and dressed accordingly (good thing I have 3 boys + a tomboy of my own!)!

But I can’t stop with changing my house around.

I think I got it from my bestest, longest friend @michele_kennedy67. I spent the night at her house at least once a week for years growing up. It seems like she always had her bedroom furniture moved in a different direction and I thought that was cool!

Thanks Shelly, for giving me courage to move things around! 😍😍😍

Which do you prefer—shopping for house or clothes?!?

HAPPY LABOR DAY! The last “official” day of summer just feels a little different, even though the seasons don’t change for two more weeks. The air is crisper, the days shorter and the woodpile will soon be needed! 🇺🇸

1st DAY of 8th GRADE for BIG RED! He’s the only

1st DAY of 8th GRADE for BIG RED! He’s the only Gayle Kid at Sullins now so he’s the Big Man on Campus. Mama here is sad though because our Sullins days are coming to a close after 11 years there, (though they probably won’t be able to get rid of me!). 💙💛🤍

I hope Gordon has a wonderful year! 💙🤍💛

(I found these very heavy green metal O’s at Culpepper’s Otto Depot in Otto, NC on a trip with my friend Joyce. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them but was drawn to them for some reason. Now I know. 😂)

I LOVE the light up sign that Sullins did in front of the school! 💙🤍💙 #whysullins

I’m not sure how much “work” I would be doin

I’m not sure how much “work” I would be doing on vacation but I do love having a desk to hold all my favorite things like school supplies and notebooks! 😅

Another favorite thing is that this chair was in my house growing up in Grundy and I had it recovered recently! It’s always been yellow around the arms and legs (my mom’s favorite color!) but the fabric was a silky sherbet mixture of pastel orange, yellow and green stripes. 🧡💛💚

My Grundy friends will remember Ruth Beinhorn, who decorated our house and many others…this chair was one of her appointments! 💛

I may need a vacation from my vacation with three

I may need a vacation from my vacation with three very active boys! 😂. Maybe I could take a nap on this snazzy sofa from @susancoleman81 in our bedroom here.

My mom and I had a “fun” time hanging these curtains. 🤦‍♀️ But good memories made! I couldn’t resist the turquoise globe from @landymathes_ booth at @therefindery !

Now to watch a little Dateline…my standing Friday night date! ❤️🤍💙

Happy National Dog(s) day to the two best dogs I’ve ever had…BUDDY & DAISY! 🐶❤️🐶❤️. Actually they’re the only dogs I’ve ever had (but they’d still be the best) because I’ve always been a cat person. 🙀

I can’t believe I waited so long to get a dog! I love these two rescue dogs so much. We truly think of them as people & members of the family. I love their distinctive little personalities!

Now “catless”, I doubt I will ever go back! 💙🐶💙
