the loft gets some elbow grease
This summer, with the help of my wonderful hard-working hubby Ian & my dad, aunt, & cousin, who came 800 miles to help me, the loft area finally got the attention it deserved. It took several trips to Home Depot, Ace, and the like, along with a lot of brainstorming, but in a matter of days, I ended up with dark wood floors and a new wash cabinet. In time, I got new paint as well!
When I first began to use the space, I set up the room as above, but it evolved as the weeks went on |
Eventually the carpet went up |
And bamboo flooring went down |

our fireplace. inspiration. and before pic.
I searched the internet vigorously for months looking for fireplace designs I liked. Finally, I found a winner! I swiped it from a blog---Please forgive me for not taking note of who you are. If you find me, please let me know your name so I can give you credit. Thank you. :)
I love the idea! I have been trying to decide what to do for a year now! Currently my fireplace is a blank slate, so I am eager to get started. See below...
So right after moving in, we detached the mantel, ripped off the cream tile, & re-drywalled around the opening. For the longest time, the mantle was just leaning against the wall like this... I sold the mantle shortly after this post. Yay! For an update CLICK HERE!

a bistro table & chairs get a makeover!
I recently snatched a table and four chairs for $30 at a garage sale. It was a simple set, but I had a vision! :) Stay tuned to see the results...

sample work: hair for special events (more to come...)
Brook & Jody at Brook's Wedding: beautiful & classic. |
Something a little different for the dance |
Not your average up-do for a night out |
eye-catching & so chic |
For a maid of honor, not just any up-do will do |
A bride should look timeless on her wedding day |
A sweet bridesmaid needs.... |
a sweet up-do! |
...and that's what Ashley got! |
Rula is a natural beauty |
Simple & elegant |
It's all in the details |
You have to do just enough |
With a fresh cut & color, Kelly was one sophisticated sister-in-law/photographer |
while Alexa was stunning with just a soft bouncy curl |
And she was ready for her big moment! |
What a great looking bunch |
Mike & Lisa's no-fuss-cut & styles helped them look sharp on their son's big day! |
One of my favorite go-to-styles worked perfect for a friend's party |
Even as a guest, you gotta look chic! |
Volume & low bun on a bridesmaid |
