For Sale By Owner!

Good Afternoon All!

We have decided to put our house on the market! If you know anyone who is interested, let me know and I'll be happy to forward any information! Happy Friday everyone!

Snug as a bug...

Well today seems to be a lazy day for sure. It's overcast outside and everyone is sleeping, so I thought I would take some pictures...I hope you're enjoying your Sunday!

Easy, Breezy!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posts this past week; work is just taking over! I didn't hit up the yard sales or the flea market this weekend due to poor weather, but I was able to incorporate some of my finds from last week into my decor!

Remember the other "mystery item" I told you that I got last week? Well it was a bookshelf that needed a fresh coat of paint and some new hardware. So I did just that and this is the final product!


You only see from the middle down because I don't have anything on the top shelf :). It's still a work in progress, so stay tuned...

Also, remember the sepia toned picture of the Angel Oak I found at YS for $5.00? Well I went frame shopping yesterday and found one that worked just perfectly! Hung it in the bathroom and wha-la! Presto! We had instant artwork, and boy does it look great!

So that's all for decorating in the Hixson house... now it's off to get the house in order so we can put it on the market and find get a bigger place!

Give me a rake!

I found this great idea on countryliving.com and thought I would share it! I might have to consider it for all my jewlery :)!

The Ying-Yang Twins

So, I found this great, brand new LL Bean dog bed at a YS yesterday (the cover was still in the wrapper!) and I brought it home for the boys. They were a little reluctant, but after we all settled down last night, I found this...


They are always tired on the weekends. However, I'm sure Duke was especially tired because earlier that day he found the entire bag of tennis balls we had stashed away in the shed (we call it Duke cocaine). We were busy painting when we looked out and saw this...

Yes, that's him realzing he just got caught! That boy gets into everything! We don't know what we are going to do with him...

I hope everyone's having a happy Sunday! More posting tomorrow :)!

Saturday Steals!

Another great day for junkin'! Not sure what I'm going to do with all this stuff, but you have to buy it when you see it! So what did I get today you ask? All kinds of cool things...


Several baskets. A black one and two metal ones! I love, love baskets, especially neat ones!
A black magazine rack. I'm thinking this might be sprayed white and put in the bathroom, but we'll see.
A white plate. I just like the way this looked. I think it's a charger, but I thought it would be great matched up with my new mantle decor...
A cute stool. My mom has a couple just like these and I think they are adorable :).

Some seashell pictures. These were a steal at $2.50 for the set! I love the wooden frames, very rustic.

A cool sepia tone picture of the Angel Oak in Charleston. It will be great framed and put in my future office :).
2 odd looking black metal holy vases. Not sure what to do with these, but again I thought they would be cute white, but we'll see.
2 wire thinga-ma-jigs. I saw them from a distance and thought they were planters, but the guy at the flea market told me they were used as mule muzzles? Not sure if that's the truth, but it makes a good story (and I bet they can be used as weimaraner muzzles too :)) Oh, and for 50 cents, how could you pass them up?

And, a spool. I have a couple of these already, but this one was a jumbo one! Had to add it to my collection.

In addition to all these fun things, I got two other things that I'll show you later on... until next time...Happy Junkin'!

Photography 101

So, I having decided I want to take up photography. I have always loved it, but never acted on it. This pictures is nothing more than a section of decorated space in my house, but hey, you gotta start somewhere!
