Currently Loving- August 2019

Is it fall yet? August is my least favorite month of the year. My goodness, it’s hot in Alabama. I seriously think I’d like to move further north. I’m not meant to sweat this much. Anyone else?
There were some good things that I loved during this hellish month, but this heat just ain’t one of them.

Seven on a Saturday- Kitchen Rug Ideas

Happy Saturday, y’all! I’ve been living with the same kitchen rugs since I lived in Louisiana, and I’m ready for some new ones! These worked fine when I had my blue curtains, but now that I have the black and white buffalo check shades, I think the blue rugs needs to go. I’ve been perusing the interwebs looking for some inspiration. I think I’ve settled on a few styles that seem to suit the look I’m hoping to achieve, but I’m still looking for that “champagne taste” rug that will fit into my “beer budget”. Take a look at what I’ve rounded up today. Each photo is linked to it’s source.

Seven on a Saturday- Headboard Ideas

Happy, happy Saturday! I’m officially two weeks into the school year, and whew, is it catching up to me. I am one tired teacher. I’m happy to be able to enjoy this weekend, though.
One of the toughest areas for me to get a set-in-stone design plan for is the master bedroom. Paul and I share common ideas about our room, but his are sometimes more on the practical side whereas I like to have practicality mixed with pretty. One thing we have both agreed on is our bed. We chose a cream colored, tufted headboard with clean lines while we were living in Louisiana, and we have been very pleased with it. Though we’re not in the market for a new one, I still look at them from time to time and dream of the next one when we finally make the switch to a king size bed. I’ve put together a list of seven headboard ideas for you to peruse with your Saturday morning coffee. Each photo is linked for your convenience.

3 Things that Helped Me Survive the First Week of School

Yes, that’s right. School is officially in full swing. Excuse me while I go cry and mourn the end of summer.

And I had the flu, so that was fun. It seriously threw in some serious chinks to my chain, and I was not at all prepared like I had hoped to be for going back to school.

Seven on a Saturday- How To: Leopard Home Decor

Happy Saturday my friends! I made it a whole week back at work. I always forget how tired I am during this time of the school year. Gracious! However, I’ve got one of my favorite things to talk about today- leopard print! Clearly, I’m a fan and, truthfully, always have been. It can be easy to take leopard to a tacky place, so I’m showing you seven ways to do it tastefully. Some are wild and some are tame, some are the traditional neutral colors while others are bright and bold. Every photo is linked to its source for your convenience.

Seven on a Saturday- Clever Doormat Ideas

Hello and happy Saturday, friends! My summer is officially over, and that means my mind is on overdrive thinking of all the other things I wish I had time to do. Like purchase a new doormat and some plants for the entrance of my apartment to make it that much happier of a place to come home to after getting back to the real world. I’m basically crying just writing those words. I don’t want summer to end! Mostly because it’s insanely too hot to start school right now but also because I’d just be a darling housewife. 🙂
