Space deserves...

Space is priceless.. If you have the space, put it to work. Make it pretty. Give it birth. Let it live to it's fullest ability and potential. No need to waste a good room. Someday when I have a home,maybe I'll be lucky enough to give it the character it deserves. I'm dreaming of this...

A kitchen that makes cooking feel vintage and exquisite.

A distressed dining table to ease the formality with this gorgeous table runner. (I might have to try and make this before I actually have a table to put it on)

Wood floors in every room. Carpet loses on this vote.

Wallpaper for the season.

Random chairs everywhere. Who knows when you might need to take a little bum break?

A chandelier above my bed. Light flowing in from every corner.

My children will be spoiled whether they like it or not. But, you better believe they will know how to clean a room to the fullest.

And the thought of ending a hard day in this very spot, with people I love, makes everything worth dreaming about.

Plant. Water. Weed

Plant. Water. Weed. Plant. Water. Weed; the life of a gardener

As old fashioned as it sounds, I love to garden.
In my younger years, my mother planted a little seed inside of me. The seed of TLC for plants. In the backyard, we grew everything from corn to rhubarb.
I was raised on the fruits of my labors. Literally.
Keeping up on a garden got harder when my mom got a job, us kids got busy with school, and to tell the truth, we all just got downright lazy!
This year, my dear mama and I wanted to start again. We planted a few of our favorites.
This little guy will need some extra attention. Hang in there!
In order to prepare the soil and land so we could plant properly, we had to remove a few dead and, sadly, some living shrubbery. I don't like to waste good branches, so I put them to use!
I've been wanting to make this vase for a while. Inspired by rufflesandstuff.blogspot.com.
This week it finally came together because, magically, all the supplies fell into my lap.
It was meant to be!
