Hello and welcome to the first blog post of 2021! I’m so glad you popped in. I know for each of us 2020, was quite the year!!! I haven’t met anyone who was sad to see it go, and although most have welcomed this new year with open arms, still things are NOT back to normal. To be honest… my welcoming arms feel a bit more like stiff arms. I feel as though I want…
Well, well! Hello again! It’s been a while. My last post was in March towards the beginning of our new COVID world. A lot has happened since then, and to be honest, there just wasn’t enough space in my life to write on the blog. Slowly I am emerging and getting over the hump. How about you? What has changed in your life since spring? Is there something in your world you have not had…
Hello from our new world of social distancing and quarantine! Let me start by being honest! I have found it difficult to write at this time. I have started and stopped more times than I would like to admit… These are such strange times! Times we have never seen in our lifetime. Who knew in a little over a week our world would change so quickly? There are so many unknowns right now! You are…
Hello! Hello! Hello! Spoiler alert… this post is from a past project we did once upon a time. With all the Valentine’s Day love going around, I wanted to spread a little love too! Out of all the projects we’ve done to date, this is the one I loved the most! When we moved into this home we knew renovations had to take place everywhere and the informal dining area was no exception. I had…
Oh my goodness! It is a snow day here in Texas believe it or not! Just last week we were enjoying 70-degree weather. At that time I was thinking to myself, I should probably take down my winter wreaths, but low and behold winter is hanging on! This little bit of snow and several inquires about my old door inspired today’s post. It is one thing I have been loving in my home lately. Let’s…
Hello and happy day to you! Today I want to share with you one of my favorite things – OLD BOOKS – and how I use them to decorate my home. I have an absolute obsession with old books! Whenever I go to an estate sale or garage sale, a thrift store or antique shop I am always on the hunt. I just love the way they look – their hardcovers with worn pages pull…
Hello blog buddies! I’m so glad you popped in today as I am sharing some tips on how I made my rental a cozy home. Let’s be real, owning a home is great. It gives you the freedom to do anything you want, but what happens when you don’t have that freedom? How do you make a temporary space feel like your own? It can be a challenge, right! For the last year, my family…
Hello and welcome to the first blog post of 2020! Can you believe we are already one week into the new year? Around the Archer household, our holiday was super low-key and slow-paced, exactly what we hoped for. Lots of time for R&R plus time to prepare for what’s ahead. It was simply lovely. I wanted to start off this year with a scripture from Psalm 20. It was a chapter I returned to time…

For those who do not know this holiday may you be blessed by my…
