Haven Was the Place to Be!
As many of you know from my Instagram feed, I was at the Haven Conference last week. I got the chance to put a lot of amazing faces to names at this huge DIY blogger conference in Atlanta. I also learned a lot about how to network with brands, how to write posts that y'all would enjoy reading, and a good amount about photos (which I know you guys love) thanks to Instagram. The sessions were great, the sponsors were fun and the group of women that I hung out with left me with fabulous memories. Let's talk about the people!! One
DIY – Gold Starfish Coastal Art
So, this will be my last post - for now - of my out of control weekend with the gold spray paint. I wanted to create some fun items for my booth. I probably have not mentioned to y'all, but I have a small retail space here in Mount Pleasant at Southern Accents. I sell furniture, accessories and decor. They are things that I make, reupholster, paint or buy from my vendors. It keeps me busy! Moving on! I decided to create a little coastal art for my buyers because, well, we live on the coast. I bought these darling little starfish
Parker Kennedy Living – Meet Lance & David
I discovered the dynamic duo of Parker Kennedy Living during the "One Room Challenge", then again when I opened my Southern Living Magazine to find an article written about them and their painted furniture. Needless to say, I've been hooked since! I have enjoyed watching them create one amazing room after another. Their use of color, amazing furniture and styling make me happy in so many ways. So, grab your cup of coffee, tea, mimosa or whatever else you choose, and join me this morning for a fun read! Q: You graduated from SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) -

You Have to Meet Danielle Oakey
What can I say about Danielle Oakey? It's clear to me that I absolutely love her style as I have so many things that she likes and blogs about! What's interesting about her is that she focuses on designing on a budget. We all know I am a sucker for good deals, so it was very fitting to ask her to be a part of my Guess Who's Dropping in for Coffee series. I was THRILLED when she said yes. So, let's get to know Danielle!! Q: I know that you went to school for Interior Design. What would you say
Friday Favorites: Avrett Furniture
You may remember I talked about a guy named Peyton Avrett several months ago, and if you are new to my blog, here's a refresher. Our local Charleston talent always amazes me, and Peyton can top the list!! I'm always blown away at his latest pieces he displays on Instagram and would like to take each and every one of them home with me. I'm not kidding. Just. Ridiculous. I decided to put some of them on display so you could love them as much as me! Here are my Friday Favorites!! ;) And, here's Peyton (don't get excited, ladies, he's taken!!!!!) He
This New Jersey Backyard Got it All Right
I came across this backyard project by a New Jersey-based design firm - EAC Designs - on Houzz. Excuuuuuuuse me
Ikea Kvissle Wall Magazine Rack Hack
I have a TON of paperwork that I need to keep organized. From real estate contracts, to decorating contracts, plans, etc, you get my point. I have a TERRIBLE habit of creating piles, like the kind that make your husband crazy because he can't find his stuff because it could possibly be in your pile kind of piles. :-| So, on my last trip to Atlanta, I of course had to do a quick run through Ikea's marketplace to snag a couple of items. This Kvissle magazine rack caught my attention. I brought it home and
It’s Time to Meet Abby from Abby M. Interiors!
Good morning! I'm excited to introduce Abby Manchesky from Abby M Interiors. Abby was actually one of the first designers I followed when I joined Instagram. I cannot remember how I discovered her, but I was glad I did. She has a great eye, and I enjoyed seeing her projects! One of my non-design "likes" about this woman is that she does it all with two boys in tow! (Ha, sounds like me.) So, grab your cup of joe, and join me for a fun read! Q: Did you study Interior Design? If not, what did you do previously, and
Fix it or Not? What to Update before Listing
Are you considering listing your home on the real estate market and wondering what things you 'may' need to address first? Perhaps you are in an older home and question larger repairs, refinishing floors or bathroom/kitchen remodels, or maybe you are in a newer home thinking about minor repairs or updates. If you've owned a home and considered selling it, this has surely crossed your mind. Let me address a few important items. First, let's have a conversation about your home. Every house is different. Every neighborhood. Every street. The bones of your home may be perfect but the interior
