Emerie's First Rodeo

We were privileged to have played a small part in making our friend, Emerie's first birthday a great success. Since they live in Texas and her party took place at a beautiful ranch they went with a rodeo birthday theme!! It was a perfect theme for the setting. Here are a few photos of the touches we provided for Emerie's big day!

Painting a Brick Fireplace

We purchased our current home back in August and are finally getting around to really making it our own between my current project of re-designing and decorating our back/family room area and my husband getting to work on the landscaping. I felt it was best to start the major decorating and painting in the room that we spend the most time in. It's important to feel comfortable in your space and this is a great place to start!

To get started with my project, it was necessary to tackle our fireplace. It's a huge focal point in the room because it actually runs the entire width of the room. This room had no lighting in it and gets very little sunlight because it only has our sliding doors and with the way our house faces we don't get direct sunlight from that angle. So aside from knocking holes in walls to add windows I needed to use paint to brighten up the space.

This is a photo of the room before we bought our house. As you can tell the walls are currently all neutral throughout the space and definitely the first thing to catch your eye is the fireplace.

This particular picture doesn't really show the true color of the brick. I would classify them more as an orange color than a true red. If they were a nice deep red, I would probably just clean them up and keep them as is but the color just didn't work for the color palette I picked out for the room.

Here are my before and afters on the fireplace. 

The paint I used is Cool Gray by Valspar. It took about a gallon and a half to get full coverage since brick is such a porous material and just absorbed the paint. I think it just makes the room so much brighter all ready. I highly recommend using a semi-gloss on a fireplace since it will make it easier to wipe down if you actually use your fireplace. Check back for more room updates and this project moves forward!

Grandma Present

Coming up with the best present is always a personal goal of mine. I love to come up with something thoughtful that will make the recipient smile. 

Such is the case with my mom. So I set off on a Pinterest/Etsy search for days to figure out exactly what would do that. I had seen a lot of things for grandma's but nothing really screamed my mom's name until I came across a couple things that I decided to mash together and came up with this...

All the pictures and the centerpiece are created on canvas frames and sealed to keep them protected for a long time. Super cute, personalized and ready to make grandma smile everytime she sees it! 

Winter Pinterest Projects

We just finished one of the coldest and longest winters I can ever remember. As a result, there were quite a few projects/Pinterest swipes that I did along the way. Most of them happened before Christmas, and were a great addition to our home during the holiday season. I keep it very simple at holiday time because my boys will just destroy things (not really-- but kind of). However, these added a simple touch of holiday fun and simplicity. 

This Merry Mail card holder was simple to put together and was a much needed item to add to my Christmas decor. I usually throw the cards we receive in a basket (or plastic bowl) and never really look at them again. But this allowed us the chance to look at them all season long. I added a few clothes pins along the ribbons in order to attach them. 

This tray was actually made for a gift exchange. I bought a simple unfinished tray at the craft store, added the background paper and wording. I then made the jar to put on it with a candle inside.  It shimmers through the snowflake cutout and adds a soft glow on the tray.
