For those of you who follow my blog you know that I recently downsized to a Townhouse. I have enjoyed decorating the new space.

My color scheme for Christmas this year is silver & white. I wanted a different wreath for my front door other than a standard pine wreath that I normally use. I used deco-mesh for the first time when I made my fall wreath that I previously shared & I really love how simple it is …
Welcome to Our Crafty Mom! I have always loved flokati rugs and have been wanting to recover an old bench I have had forever in this faux fur. I picked some up beautiful faux fur at Joann Fabrics for 60% off. What a steal! This bench started out in a tapestry fabric about 25 years ago. …
