Don't peak! Ok, maybe a little...

The past month or so has been nothing but work, eat and sleep.  Nothing too exciting has really been going on ..  until now!  There have been a few house DIY/renovations on the back burner for a while but not anymore. 

Here's a sneak peak at posts you can (hopefully) expect sooner than later:

And for those of you that I know in real life and insist that my house is always clean.. the photo below is proof that this is not the case.  Hooray for construction :)

Fall Decor

I know I am about two months late on this .. but I figured I would cover this now before I switch everything over in a week ;)


Seasonal decorating .. what's your take on it? 

There is a woman I work with that freaking loves it.  It seems her cubicle gets a complete overhaul for every holiday and season.  And when I say 'every' .. I do mean it; Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Breast Cancer Awareness Month .. the lady doesn't miss a single one! 

Here's the thing though .. as much as I like using her cubicle as a humongous calendar .. it's not for me.  Not only do I not have the spare cash to cover my house in pink for Valentine's Day .. I just don't have the conviction .. with two exceptions:  Fall and Christmas.  Maybe one day I will add a couple touches here and there for Spring and Summer but for now I put my effort into making my house as cozy as possible for the colder months.

Fall has always been my absolute favorite time of year, but aside from a front door wreath, I've never really shown it love.  This year I decided to change that.  With a little help from the craft store, grocery store and some creative recycling .. I've put a few extra Fall-y touches throughout my house. It's only minor but it makes a difference. I hope to build on it even more next year but until then .. here's what I've done:

What's Your Style?

HomeGoods has come out with a style quiz that is impressive (I think) in both its simplicity and accuracy.  There is a grid of 36 pictures and all you do is pick the 5 that appeal to you most.  Here were my picks:

And the results:

I couldn't believe it .. but in 5 pictures .. they nailed it!  I always said I was Eclectic with a touch of Classic but Urban Funk makes more sense.  There is a common thread running throughout my house versus everything being mis-matched which I feel is sort of the mark of someone who is truly eclectic.  I am also anti-clutter.  Anyways .. I digress...

You should totally click the quiz and take the test! I had Mark do it and he was "Urban Funk" with a touch of "The Traveler" which is perfect for him!  The results also include blogs, style and entertaining tips related to your category.  It's pretty cool and only takes a few minutes.  So what style are you?
