DIY White Winter Wreath via SNAP

I am dreaming of a white Christmas... Which is not terribly far fetched considering I live in Utah and we've already had more than three feet of snow this season. What I am really looking forward to though is a home decorated with white - starting with a white winter wreath on the front door. This was a super-quick project (you know what a fan I am of quickie crafts) and soo inexpensive (like, dollar store priced). I started out with a regular grapevine wreath. I purchased it for about $6, but I see them at the dollar store all the time. I took it out on the deck and spray … [Read more...]

Entry Rug

Choosing a rug is one of the most difficult design decisions I've made in my house. Selecting flooring? No problem. Choosing paint colors? No big deal. Choosing a rug, even a small 2x3 for the entryway? Nearly impossible. Anyone else have this problem? In the summer I've resorted to using bamboo rugs in both the front entry and near the door out to the back deck. I like the modern, sleek look they provide and they're so durable. I purchased my bamboo rugs from World Market - I think they are about three years old and still look great! The weather is cooling off again though and … [Read more...]
