About Me:

I am the proud wife of a retired Marine Colonel. We came back home to NC to finally put down roots. I am also the proud Mother and MIL to two Army Vets who served three Iraqi tours. We have three furry babies who allow us to reside in the same home as them. But most of all, we have three of the most precious grandbabies, my heartbeats. Ages 6, 2, and 2 months.

Favorite area of home improvement:

I love all aspects of decorating and design, but what I love more is to blog about them. As a Southerner, my passions range from cooking to crafting to gardening. I often joke that I have "DADD" - Decorating ADD. I am pretty sure many of you suffer from the same thing. Along with DIY and Blogging, I am also very passionate about my online shop, Farmhouse Decor - where I carry a great line of unique French and American Farmhouse Accessories and Furniture. I would love for you to visit me...www.farmhousedecorshop.com (Make sure you sign up for my free email newsletter where you will get Newsletter-Subscriber Only discounts)

Fun Rustic Beach Signs From Reclaimed Fence Wood

I collected a lot of fence wood from curbside when we lived in the Panhandle of Florida. Hurricanes play heck with fencing along with everything else. When we moved back to our home in ...»
Tennessee I loaded that fence wood and all my other junk finds into the moving truck just like it was precious furniture! It's almost all gone now. I made some beach signs with some of it and they turned out great. You can view all the details on my website post.

Repurposed Junk Garden

As greatly inspired by many – I've turned my love of junk to the outside of my house with a quite-a-bit of junk-influenced gardening.

Hope you enjoy!
