Ever have one of those projects that goes great in your head, but turns out to be a doozy? Yea, this was one of them for me. Luckily though, I am pleased with the final result. :) I went to the thrift store last week and spotted this lovely thing. It was $35 and in [...]

Let us all take a moment this weekend to remember the brave who have sacrificed their lives for our country. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost someone in service. They are not forgotten. Blessings, Decorchick!
Concealing the clutter
by Decorchick! on Fri, 28 May 2010
Do you have an entertainment center that has glass cabinets like we do? The kind where you can see all the junk gaming systems, unorganized DVD’s, and anything else that landed in there? Well, I hate clutter as much as I hate roaches. Actually, I am terrified of roaches, but that’s for a different post [...]

Accessorize your accessories
by Decorchick! on Thu, 27 May 2010
I like to dress up things around the house. Adding just a little pop of something small to an accessory is just, well…cute! It’s no secret I love ribbons and bows. I have them in several spots. I love big fat bows on a lamp shade. I love ribbon on vases. I love starfish too. [...]

Interchangeable cheese dome cloche
by Decorchick! on Wed, 26 May 2010
I jumped on the cheese dome turned cloche bandwagon. They are all over bloggyland, but I first saw Allison at House of Hepworths transform hers. You can find her post about it here, and it’s a fabulous tutorial. She is just too good and I heart her like I heart chalkboards. I found these at [...]

New window treatments I made, and breakfast room redo
by Decorchick! on Tue, 25 May 2010
Warning, this is kind of a long post, but y’all like pictures and how-to’s right? Okay, good. :) Our breakfast room used to look like this… Please take note of the extremely low curtain rod, high water drapes, and the breakfast table too big for the breakfast room. Geesh, this is almost embarrassing showing. But, [...]

I heart chalkboards
by Decorchick! on Sun, 23 May 2010
Chalkboards are a great way to add that touch of coziness in any room of your home. It’s a fun way to write sweet notes, honey-do’s, your favorite scripture, the dinner menu, and the list goes on. They are also very inexpensive to make which makes them even better. I buy the chalkboard spray paint [...]

Update that knife block!
by Decorchick! on Sat, 22 May 2010
I’ve had this knife block forever. I think my mom got it for me when I moved into my first apartment? Anyway, it’s OLD, that’s all I know. And you can definitely tell it’s old when you look closely at the knife handles with the cracked and missing pieces. :) But that’s okay because we [...]

How it all began…Tobacco Road
by Decorchick! on Fri, 21 May 2010
Well, this is my very first post, so I’ll just get right to it! I have to give a little background on our home. We moved into a new construction home at the end of 2008. It’s a 2-story, open concept floor plan. I loved it, and knew it was ours when we came to [...]
