Have y’all ever heard of a place called Acres Homes (Acreage Home)? We call it the “4-4”, but you have to say it right if you call it that. It’s “fo fo”. Not four four. Not forty four. “Fo. Fo.” A lot of famous people you may know – from actors, rappers, & singers to…
Hi again friends & neighbors. Back with a word from my cousin, The Chaplain. Today & everyday, we’re acknowledging that the best place to be is exactly where we are. He shares words of wisdom & little nuggets with me regularly and sometimes his words really resonate with me & my beliefs. This is one…
Several years ago my grandmother gave me her old high boy. She was running out of space but didn’t want to get rid of it & knew that I would keep it & take care of it. She’s had this with a full bedroom set for at least 50 years – AND she bought it…
Hey y’all! I’ve got another Room Remix to share & this time it’s part of the Spring Into Action Blog Hop! If this is your 1st time here, welcome in! If you’re visiting from Ola’s blog J’Adore Le Decor thanks so much for stopping by! When my baby sister got married almost 2 years ago, there were 2…

I have a service called the Xtraordinary Room Remix where I makeover a room for a specified budget by making small changes with big impact. I’ve just wrapped a kitchen project that is bigger than a Room Remix & but not a full remodel & I’ve recently made a few changes to my own kitchen…
Houston is the biggest small town in the world. For as big as we are, we know no strangers. In the past week, Hurricane Harvey dumped a ton of water on Texas – trillions of gallons. While most of our city (and many surrounding areas including our neighbors to the south & east) is underwater, many…
They say everything is bigger in Texas and from what I’ve seen, that may very well be true. But that’s all changing pretty fast around here. High rises are on the rise, and even in what may be considered large homes, families are getting bigger (with more kids or the resurgence of extended families), pets…
Spring has sprung and there’s so much to do, checklists for this and checklists for that. Well, add 1 more checklist to the list. This one is a little different from what you’ve already seen – no spring cleaning, no full on redecorating for the season, not even small swaps to “bring on spring”. Nope,…
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, it’s Spring (finally) and EVERYthing is all about Green! Green clothes, green food, green BEER (mmm), green grass (is it weird that I love the smell of fresh cut grass?). All in good fun. I want to talk about green in another sense… our environment. It’s far too early for green…
