MY FAVORITE FIVE: SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY

We arrived in NYC yesterday and are already having the best time!  I'd love to see you over on Instagram for some peeks at what we're up to.   Today I'm thrilled to have Rhoda from Southern Hospitality here to share her Favorite 5 with you. I finally met Rhoda in person last month, and what you see is what you get!  She is the kindest, most down to earth, encouraging person and I'm privileged to call her my friend.   I've been following Rhoda for 7-8 years probably, and am always inspired by her projects, her journey, and her wisdom as a seasoned blogger.  She has had some challenges as well as triumphs in her life, and she has weathered it all with courage and grace and heart.  Enjoy getting to know Rhoda today! * * * * * * *   I'm so happy to be here with Jennifer today! I've been a big fan of Jennifer's style (and her heart) ever since I found her blog several years ago. In case you don't know me, let me tell you a little about me. I...

MY FAVORITE FIVE: CASA WATKINS LIVING

Hi friends, I hop you all enjoyed your weekend!  We were scrambling to clean house and do laundry and stock the pantry and write out kid instructions and pack and go to church and finish blog posts, because as this post goes live we're on our way to NYC!!! I'll be attending the Better Homes and Gardens Stylemaker workshop on Thursday, but we're headed in early for several days to ourselves to enjoy the city.  While I'm gone I'm so happy to have a few friends visiting to participate in My Favorite Five this week. Today I'd like for you to meet my friend Stephanie from Casa Watkins Living.  I've fallen in love with Stephanie's colorful, eclectic style, and I think you will too!  I was thrilled to meet Stephanie in person at a conference this summer, and spent a nice evening visiting with her over dinner.  Enjoy getting to know her today and reading about her smart DIY ideas and gorgeous styling. * * * * * * *  Hola! I'm Stephanie of Casa...

FALL HARVEST TABLESCAPE

I have partnered with At Home as a member of the At Home Inspiration Team for this sponsored post and am happy to share some of my favorite products with you!  All opinions are mine alone. Now that we have a great outdoor dining area on  our new patio , I thought it would be so fun to set up a Fall harvest tablescape outside.  I headed to my local  At Home  store for some seasonal inspiration, and I wasn't disappointed! ...

TRENDING: GREEN CABINETRY

TRENDING: GREEN CABINETRY

I'm noticing a trend lately that I can totally get on board with... green cabinetry.  I know that sage green and more muted tones have likely been popular for years, but I'm talking GREEN green.  My green.  Bold green. While looking through this month's HGTV magazine, this kitchen stopped me in my tracks! I studied each detail and was SO drawn to that gorgeous green island.  Right then and there I got up and looked at my kitchen and wondered if I could do the same. ...

2016 FALL HOME TOUR (PART 1)

Hello friends, I'm so glad you're here today!  I'm delighted to be a part of the 2016 Fall Home Tours hosted by Marty at A Stroll Thru Life .  If you're visiting from Setting for Four, welcome!  Didn't you enjoy Heather's tour? If you're visiting for the first time today, let me introduce myself.  I'm Jennifer and I live in Edmond, Oklahoma, where my husband is a Baptist minister, and we have two teenagers, a son (dimples) and a daughter (tangles).  I adore bold color and mixing patterns , get excited about a great Craigslist score , and am not afraid to get my hands dirty with a DIY project. It is still a bit early to be fully decked out for Fall, but I added some small touches around the house to usher in the season.  I wanted to keep things very simple yet interesting, so I focused on bringing in some cozy colors, accessories found in nature, texture, and mixed metals. ...

SIDE TABLE TO HIDDEN LITTER BOX (HOW TO HIDE THE LITTER BOX)

The litter box has been the thorn in my decorating side for years, and I can't believe I didn't come up with this idea to hide it sooner!  I told you about it a few weeks ago when I shared our freshly organized laundry room, but I today I wanted to share just how simple this little design challenge solution was.   ...

STYLISH, AFFORDABLE, CUTE PILLOW COVERS AT HOBBY LOBBY

STYLISH, AFFORDABLE, CUTE PILLOW COVERS AT HOBBY LOBBY

I had to run into Hobby Lobby the other night for a few things, and of course found myself veering off track from what I originally came in for.  I walked down the aisle full of packaged pillow covers, and couldn't believe my eyes!  I had to call my sister (who works at the HL corporate offices) and say, "Have I been under a rock, or are these new???"  They had the BEST new patterns, especially right now if you're ready to start thinking about making a few changes for Fall.  So, I did what every good blogger would do and sat in the aisle for 20 minutes and took photos to share with you! ;) I'll show you the ones that I really liked and list the price too, because I know you'll want to know!   Just remember, discount the price by 40% if you use your coupon (did you know there's a  Hobby Lobby app  you can get to always have a coupon on your phone?), which makes the prices hard to beat. ...

SWEET SATURDAY #2

I think that simplifying and downsizing will continue to be a trend in the future.  I enjoyed this article about a fellow Oklahoma family (not too far from me!) who downsized and built a 1,000 square foot home from the ground up. They did some smart space planning and the home appears so spacious from the photos.  A family of 4 sharing one bathroom though...not sure I could do it! ...

HEKMAN BAMBOO HALL TABLE WITH STOOLS {CRAIGSLIST SCORE!}

HEKMAN BAMBOO HALL TABLE WITH STOOLS {CRAIGSLIST SCORE!}

I've had the itch to rearrange the furniture in the living room lately, but in order to do what I'd like I could really use a sofa table.  I sold the sofa table I used to have a while back, so I've been keeping an eye out for another one.  I came across this one on Craigslist over the weekend, and it was absolutely perfect!  It's a good height and length, narrow so it won't stick out too far, and the huge bonus is that it came with two darling stools!  We can never have too much extra seating around here. ...

RED RIVER, NEW MEXICO {SUMMER GETAWAY}

RED RIVER, NEW MEXICO {SUMMER GETAWAY}

I've been vacationing at  Red River, New Mexico  nearly every summer since I was 12 years old.  It's the perfect mountain getaway for the Oklahoma/North Texas region and we notice that a majority of visitors are from those areas.  Nestled in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, not only is it a skiing destination in the winter, but it's awesome to escape the heat of the summer and spend some time in the cool climate of the mountains. The past two summers our family has done big road trips (one to each coast), so we were all ready to head back to our familiar happy place this summer to relax.  The majority of the time we visit in the summer (we've never been there in the winter to ski!!), but we've been multiple times at Fall Break as well and it's gorgeous with all of the golden leafed Aspen trees covering the mountainsides. PLACES TO STAY Our standard lodging spot is The Riverside Lodge and Cabins .  There are a variety of accommodations available, ...

My blog friends  Pam of  Simple Details ,  Lisa of  Shine Your Light ,  Kris of  Driven by Decor   and I  are back today (and the first Tuesday of every month) for this month's feature of My Favorite Five.  Today we're sharing our favorite kinds of artwork!   This month we're happy to welcome our guest host Jennifer from The Chronicles of Home .  Jen has been a friend for years and I enjoy following her projects on her blog as well as on Instagram .  Let me tell you, this girl can do it all.  Like, she builds FURNITURE and things from scratch!!  And, I'm dying to pull up a chair at her table some day to sample all of the wonderful recipes she creates.  I'm swooning over the guest room she recently completed in her home she's been renovating a little at a time.  Can't you see why I love her style so much?  Be sure to visit The Chronicles of Home today, I think you'll love it there as much as I do! ...

SWEET SATURDAY #1

Hello there, everyone!  Thank you all for such kind comments and remarks on my last post , be sure to go back and check it out if you missed it for a great giveaway opportunity! I referenced this briefly in my last post, but one of the things you all suggested that you might like to see here was a regular weekend post.  It seems like you'd like more new material to read while you're drinking your Saturday morning coffee.  Well, ok!  I can do that!  I will start regular posts on Saturday mornings, and will call these posts Sweet Saturday (because isn't that what Saturdays are???).   Most of the time you'll find snippets of things I thought you would enjoy, quick tips, or bits and pieces of things that aren't enough material for their own post.  So, I hope you enjoy the randomness of them! We are heading to NYC at the end of the month and I've been making our arrangements for where we'll be staying, I always forget how teeny tiny those spaces are!   This...

CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF DIMPLES AND TANGLES (+ A GIVEAWAY!)

It honestly hardly seems possible, but yesterday marked 5 years since the very first time I hit "publish" for this blog.  These years have gone by in a flash, but it's hard to remember what life was like before the blog now!  Today, 763 posts later, it's amazing to look back and see all the things that have changed and the progress we have made with our home over these years.  And, although we've done a lot, there's still always another project on the horizon! So,  I just wanted to stop and say thank you today.  Thank you for reading.  Thank you for sharing your encouraging comments.  Thank you for telling your friends about the blog.  Thank you for becoming my "online friends." And to those who read who I actually know in real life, thank you for being my cheerleaders and always having a kind word to say about what you're enjoying on the blog when we meet in passing.  It's been a privilege to share our home and a peek into our lives w...
