Sara Cowley Personalized Stamps...

How do you feel about stamps? I love them! They are handy & efficient when I'm looking to mail letters, bills etc. (especially during the Holidays). Like many of you, I really don't like writing my address over & over again. Well, I guess we can use address labels, but this is so much faster in my opinion & looks good! I came across Sara Cowley a few weeks ago, she creates a collection of original & personal address stamps! Below are some of my favorites from her store.

Aren't these cute?? Do you use a personalized stamp for your mail?

3 Men & A Lady Blogger shares her home with us....

Michelle from Three Men & A Lady has a great DIY style blog I think you'd enjoy! I really like the unique touches she's added throughout her home. So, I decided to ask her if she'd share it with all of you, she said YES! One of my favorite features is her striped entryway & the handy chalkboard near her kitchen...where she writes, "Remember...as far as anyone knows, we're a perfectly normal family." Thanks Michelle!

So how was your weekend?? Did you happen to take on any DIY projects??

Layers of Meaning... DIY Chevron Wall

I've seen quite a few people painting chevron patterns on their walls....& yes, I like it! Maria from Layers of Meaning & her husband have done just that by taking on this DIY project.  Personally, I think it creates an interesting impact to her living room...and perhaps in my next home, I will think of trying something similar. 


This is a great option for those of you who are SCARED to death of wallpaper!! I know this process of painting stripes, chevrons etc. may take a awhile, but from Maria's results I think it's well worth it! You can ALWAYS paint over it if you don't like it right??  And for all you MARRIED ladies....ask your husbands for a helping hand.  You can see all the pics & read more about it on her blog.
