making a happy hearth...
Happy Thursday Friends!
Last week while on vacation we had glorious warm weather… this week, not so much! It’s been raining and cold, ok… California cold… highs only in the 50’s and I just want to stay under a blanket all day. SO… let’s just pretend I’m in tropical location, with a wrap-around porch hanging in one of these. Yes… hanging chairs are my latest love… check these out.
Anyone else want to hang around somewhere tropical?

My oldest daughter is turning 10 this summer and what does she want… a bedroom makeover. She wants to go with teal blues instead of pinks, she wants a more grown up quilt and she wants a new bed.
She really wants a loft bed or a bunk bed… so here are some cool ones we’ve found.
This bunk bed design is amazing!
This one is my daughter’s favorite.
Beautiful detail.
The colors she’s wanting.
Another fun bunk bed design.
Love the starfish detail.
So are you lovin’ bunk beds and / or loft beds? Do you kiddos have one?

Now I have to admit… I have neither yellow or gray currently in my home… but I LOVE the combo!
I think it’s the contrast. The gray is calming and neutral and the yellow just screams… “I’m here.”
Check out some of the great gray and yellow pretties I found…
What about you? Are you gray and yellow lover?
Hi Guys! Sunday is feast day or as you might know it… Super Bowl Sunday. I enjoy watching a great game, but I love watching the Super Bowl commercials and snacking on a lot of foods that I typically keep off my menu. I put Super Bowl eating in the same category as birthdays, holidays, etc.… the calories don’t count… right??
Here’s some of the foods that I’m thinking about making and munching on with the family…
Ok… let me wipe my drool!
Tomorrow I’ll be sharing with you guys one of our family’s favorite dips!
So… what is an absolute HAVE TO HAVE game day food in your house? Do share… if you have the recipe on your blog, share the link!

I’m a lovin’ Nailhead Trim.
In fact I’m working on a project right now with it. Such a simple detail makes such an impact. Check out these gorgeous pics that are inspiring me.
So are you lovin’ nailhead trim too? Have you done a project with nailheads?
Every few weeks or when my overwhelming love for something needs to be shared… I have what I like to call, For the Love Of. This week I’m crushing on Mason Jars! I’ve always loved them, but this week they’ve been glaring at me. I think it’s because we’ve been having beautiful Spring like weather for the last few weeks here in So. Cal. and my brain is already turning towards Spring/Summer décor.
Let’s check out some of the beauties I found… mostly with the help of my BFF, Pinterest.
These are the mason jar candle holders I made a few years back. You can click the photo to get to the tutorial.

So how about you? Are you a mason jar lover too?
Do you have all your presents wrapped? If not I’ve found some beautiful, unique and creative wrappings for you all with craft paper. I love gifts wrapped with Kraft paper… I find it so simply beautiful.
Let your kiddos cut up some beautiful snowflakes in some festive colors and place on top of your package.
Love using two different papers and twine.
How cute are these yarn pom-poms!
Let your kiddos go stamp crazy.
Love the stamped name with a simple ribbon.
The doilies make this so elegant.
Happy Wrapping!
