Wow! I can’t believe I might squeeze in a little time to write this blog post. Technically, I’m writing this while also putting together a website project proposal. Whew! I scare my own self sometimes. Guys, I’ve been so busy lately it’s insane. Let’s just start with the biggest thing that has transpired…we had a […]
It’s the start of a new day…a new week is in store. Mondays are the start of something new and I’m looking forward to what will transpire this week. Though it’s technically been fall for several weeks, it’s just starting to feel cooler here in South Louisiana. The beautiful weather makes it easier to get […]
My how the time flies by when you’re busy. It’s already been one year since I started writing this blog, The Hollidays at Home. I can honestly say that I’ve really, really, enjoyed it! Writing for this blog has helped me complete several projects that would otherwise still be unfinished. It’s inspired me in many […]
Though I can’t move as fast as I’d like, because of this reason. When I do get a chance, I work on small projects around the house. We always use our back door to enter our home and I’ve tried to incorporate pieces that make it functional for the way we live. One of the pieces […]
When I started this blog, I wanted it to be about not just our house projects but our life. The design of my blog header has my family picture in it because FAMILY is a huge part of my life. But as time has passed, I find that unless it’s a project or craft […]
After a while, the decor on shelves and mantels gets stale and needs some updating. For me, it’s actually very satisfying to change the mantel up a couple of times a year. It tends to set the tone for the entire area and I love that about having one. I finally got around to finishing the decor […]
As I’ve been contemplating how to change up the living room mantel for spring, it occurred to me that I never shared the current set-up. Ha! Believe that! I never shared my fall/winter mantel with you. So, now that the mantel is clear and ready for updating, I figured it would be the perfect time to share […]
In the words of Marvin Gaye, you may be saying that very thing,”What’s going on?” I’ve been missing since mid-January, and not just for the fun of it. Around the same time as my last post, we found out we were expecting our second baby. Definitely exciting news! We even waited a little while to […]
A room can always use some natural elements to bring texture to it. That is why I love working with burlap. I love trends that are timeless and go with any style you have in your home. This project was one of those. It will always work in your space, because it’s using a […]
My husband and I work from home, so we tend to stay inside a little more than others. Though there are some great days, like any job, some days can be not so inspiring. A mix of the winter weather and being inside more has me looking for ways to be more cheerful. One thing […]
In my efforts to be resourceful, I try to look for creative ways to use what I have to make something useful. Over a year ago, I bought a big antique frame and it sat in my shed for several months. At first, I honestly had no idea what I was going to do with […]
*Since this post was first published in 2013, we’ve updated the post with some pictures of how we use it. It’s holding up very well and we still love it. Several months ago, I was really inspired by what Carmel at Our Fifth House did to her entry foyer. (See here post here.) She used magnetic primer and […]
