Family Photos

Posted by Honor on Monday, December 10, 2012, In : Life At Home

We had our first 'official' family photos taken yesterday. Yes, it was our first time. Usually I am behind the camera capturing all of our family's candid moments. I am no professional, but I have been pretty happy with the results. But finally I decided to hand the reins over to my dear friend Amanda from Two Roses Photography. She is just starting out and her talent & passion is just overflowing. I was very pleased with the results and can tell you that I am now HOOKED on family photos. I h...

Before and After: DIY Family Photo Gallery Wall

Posted by Honor on Monday, November 19, 2012, In : Home Sneek Peek

Hello ladies! And welcome the the second installment of my before and after series. Last week I shared with you my before and after for our family photo wall in our entry/stair way. This DIY is for a wall in our family room. Because I swapped out our mushy section for a super fab vintage davenport I had a blank wall to decorate at will. Yipeee! Having something new to decorate is a little bit exciting don't you think? I like to periodically look at our living spaces and evaluate how it is fu...

Before and After: Staircase Family Photo Wall

Posted by Honor on Thursday, November 15, 2012, In : Home Sneek Peek

This wall has been the bane of my existence. I get heartburn just looking at it. Bahhhhh, it frustrates me to no end!

Ok a little exaggerated , but you get my point. I have had such trouble figuring out what to do with this wall. In the short year and a half we have been here it has had quite a few 'lives'. First it was a dining area. Then a reading nook. Then back to a dining area with faux built in benches. Then to a holding area for a table I didn't know what to do with. Then finally to th...

Pre Halloween 2012

Posted by Honor on Thursday, September 20, 2012, In : Life At Home

So here are a few snapshots around the house pre-Halloween. Starting to break out my fall decorations. First pic is of some super cute (and easy to DIY) plush pumpkins. You can find some tuts here, here or here.

Handsome bugger isn't he? I picked him up here.

Is it to early to break out the wheat & pumpkins? When really, is it ok to start decorating for fall? Here in southern California it is hard to tell when fall actually starts.

I'll make sure to do a side by side when this mantel is all done...

DIY Vintage Wood Stain

Posted by Honor on Wednesday, July 18, 2012, In : Decor Crafts

      My hubs told me about this and I had to try it out to see if it really works. And it does!

      Old wood has such a warm and familiar patina. Like favorite park picnic benches. Time worn barns. Brings back the memories.
      We have this great black and white photo of the hubs grand pappy and a new sparkly frame just didn't do it justice. So I picked up an unfinished wood frame from Hobby Lobby for a whopping $2.99 and made this beauty. Really like how this came out and I think ...
