• Money Tree
  on Apr 18, 2013 in Inspiration living room
  Are you a fickle decorator like I am? Things I loved four seconds ago are boring now. Things that grossed me out last week are now must-haves. It’s exhausting. So when I find things that I love, and I love them for a LONG time, I feel like that...
• New Deck Reveal!
  on Apr 16, 2013 in Inspiration
  What? Nothing! I was just… doing a little jig… that’s all… a little happy dance. I didn’t realize you were watching. It’s totally justified though, because GUESS WHAT. The deck is DONE. *Happy feet doin’ a ji...
• Moodboard for the deck and the new love of my life
  on Apr 12, 2013 in Inspiration
  If you give me a flat surface and some furniture, I’m going to make a moodboard. That’s just how I was raised. Even if the flat surface is outside, like our new deck. You might remember that we’ve been making over our ugly ol’...
• A happy haven in the inner city
  on Apr 9, 2013 in Inspiration
  I have a friend I’m dying to tell you about! Becca and I met in college (go dawgs!) and she’s doing some pretty amazing things. After college, Becca and her husband felt called to move right into the inner city of Atlanta to be a light an...
• How to Install a Faucet WHILE UNDER ATTACK!
  on Apr 8, 2013 in Sponsors
  This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. Recently the kiddos and I dropped in to my parents' house to give their kitchen a quick little spiff-up. The very nice people at Moen had sent me...
• How to have the least pinteresting birthday party ever
  on Apr 5, 2013 in Our Family
  Hard to believe it was three years ago… (Actually it was more like 3 years and 6 weeks ago because I’m so late posting this.) But now our little man is “THWEE!,” fully potty trained, and well-versed in Veggie Tales, Thomas the...
• The calm in the camera and the chaos beyond
  on Apr 2, 2013 in Inspiration Our Family
  I know you’ve come to expect lighthearted decorating talk here at View Along the Way, but today we’re taking a dark turn… …down a forbidden path… …to expose dark secrets. A inside look at the hidden underbelly of&#...
• Beyond Bunnies and Baskets
  on Mar 31, 2013 in Holidays and Seasons Our Family
  Reposting this from a past Easter. Hope your weekend is incredible! When Andy and I were in college, we very unwisely procured a tiny pot-belly pig we named Lady. Lady learned tricks, learned to use the litter box, and took naps sandwiched between my...
• {March Sponsors!}
  on Mar 30, 2013 in Sponsors
  When I was a teenager, we used to have “family meetings,” which were dreaded by me with an intensity now reserved only for calling customer service , or clipping Mila’s tiny fingernails, or trips to the DMV. My dad would gather us a...
• Deck and Cover!
  on Mar 28, 2013 in Projects
  Sometimes, on rare occasions, I have been known to ask Andy if we can do a new project just because I think it’ll look good, though it will likely serve no real purpose in our lives. I don’t usually mention that last part. For example. Me...
• Dapper New Window Skivvies
  on Mar 25, 2013 in Projects
  Finally, I can look you in the eye! My previously nude windows… …are finally appropriately dressed and presentable to the public! No more do they run and hide when people see them. Now they walk with a little joy in their step, the way yo...

• Just back me up on this.
  on Feb 6, 2013 in Holidays and Seasons Silliness
  One of the most delightful traditions we share in this part of the country is to remove the ornaments from the Christmas tree and relocate the tree to the back patio, just outside the back door, and then accidentally leave it there where it can be en...
• Second blogiversary, and a call for questions!
  on Feb 4, 2013 in Our Family
  I can’t believe it’s already time for my second blogiversary! Could you tell my blog is entering its terrible twos?  The tantrums, the extreme emotions, the throwing of food against the wall in fits of rage? Really, I’m so thrilled...
• Hey Girl… I know what I want for Valentines Day.

  on Jan 30, 2013 in Projects Tutorial laundry lighting
  It’s dodecahedron time, y’all! Time to talk about that fancy little DIY pendant Andy made for our laundry room: It was inspired by the Ralph Lauren Dustin Pendant, which costs about $440 for the small version. Can you see the resemblance?
• Crushing On: Facets and Polyhedrons (wait, what?)
  on Jan 28, 2013 in Crushing On
  Remember the DIY dodecahedron light Andy made me for our laundry room? And how we all pretended like we knew what a dodecahedron was before Andy put a name to it? (Or was that just me?) We’ll show you details on how we made that light – a...
• Covering my {home’s} nakedness
  on Jan 25, 2013 in Inspiration Sponsors breakfast nook
  When people come to my house for the first time, if I catch them trying to glance toward the breakfast nook, I start waving my hands wildly and loudly talk-yelling to redirect their attention. Sometimes gymnastics are involved. Because my breakfast n...
