Rooms were decorated, projects were completed, dinners were cooked, homework was checked, cocktails were shaken…

and I even made my TV debut!

 

Drumroll please …

it’s time to stroll down memory lane – 2013 style.

 

My Eclectic House Tour – as dusty bunnies are swept away, I’ve been sharing my house, one room at a time.

    Has it really been a whole year! And I thought your blog didn’t look a day over halfway through 2013. You have been a productive gal with so many fun projects. I am hard pressed to pick a favorite, but I really enjoyed the one room three ways challenge. I have finally completed my living room, it will be one way only, but in case I want to change it up, I know where to go for ideas. Have a wonderful and Happy New Year friend!

Join me as I decorate my 100 year old home, scour thrift stores, create pretty things, putter in my peony and hydrangea filled garden, and mix up a mean cocktail all with a touch of sarcasm and a side of bacon - Cheers!
