First Impressions

Fresh flowers, fresh paint, and a well groomed yard give your home an amazing first impression!!

I just love all of these homes and the lovely curb appeal they have.  Whether Fall or Spring you can maintain color and neatness in your yard.  The plantings can be simple or ornate, but just by keeping it well groomed leaves a wonderful first impression to your home.

Fort Worth Charmer

After spending the day in my home town of Fort Worth yesterday I decided to check out some of the local real estate.  This one caught my eye right off the bat!

This great home is in the beautiful Rivercrest area of Fort Worth.  A two story on great street with mature trees! 3 bed, 3 baths up. All baths have been remodeled, kitchen completely updated with granite tops. Breakfast room with wall of windows. Den plus library. Nice yard. I love the large windows and bright light coming in through the back yard.  To see more pictures and information go here.

Happy Weekend!

We are supposed to have a rainy weekend, so this picture really brightened my day.  Have a great one!

Dining al fresco: blues and whites

The weather here has been fabulous and will surely not last long.  These table settings inspire me to serve dinner outside and take advantage of the comfortable temperatures.

I love the crisp feel of the blues and whites and how each setting is so unique.  The lush backdrops aren't bad to look at either!

Etsy Friday Favorite

I love bird houses and nature and ran across this lovely Etsy shop, Wuderwerx.  I've never seen a bee hotel before, have you?    Each piece is so unique!

Mike collects pieces of wood from around Scotland, and turns them into beautiful objects! From Bird Boxes to Bee Hotels, Candle holders to Driftwood Picture Frames, you'll find them all here. Enjoy looking round!

Garden spots

Today would be a wonderful day to spend some time in the garden.

Snow Beautiful

We don't get a lot of snow in the Dallas area so I had to capture the moment while I could.  We've had 6 inches so far, with more through out the evening.  Very pretty!
