Project Curb Appeal: Portico Progress

May 13, 2013July 28, 2015

Work is underway on the front portico face lift!  The structure and foundation of the original portico checked out a-ok so the project is going just as we’d hoped.  The existing roof and columns have been replaced and a new diagonal cross balustrade is already in place! Here’s the plan… Here’s the before before… And… Read More

Project Curb Appeal: The Paint

April 30, 2013July 28, 2015

Would you believe that even after an entire day worth of rain, there is STILL pollen stuck to parts of the house?!  I have come to the conclusion that this is probably what happens every year, I just never noticed since I spent my time trying NOT to look at the paint peeling off the… Read More

Project: Curb Appeal

April 23, 2013July 28, 2015

As y’all well know, we’ve spent the last four years working room by room to update and decorate our house.  And while we love the space we’ve created for our little family on the inside, it was admittedly to the detriment of the outside (specifically the front yard).  I mean, we tried to keep the… Read More

Welcome Valentine

February 1, 2013July 28, 2015

It’s February first and I spent a few minutes popping up our meager Valentine’s Day decor.  A wreath on the front door, red ribbons for the dogs and some rather sad looking pansies (clearly they need Sister’s touch) dress up the front portico. And a DIY pom pom garland and the requisite much anticipated cinnamon… Read More

Come Inside…If You Dare 2012

October 3, 2012July 28, 2015

*bwahahahaha* I’m going to go ahead and warn y’all that if you dared to “come inside” last year you’re going to be seeing much of the same spooky decor.  It’s kind of the perfect example of leaving well enough alone! I made the wreath with strips of black tulle last year and added a darling… Read More

Fall Out Front

September 21, 2012July 28, 2015

It’s fall on the front porch, y’all! I put up my fall florals, broke out the ten year old pumpkin topiaries and dressed up the dogs with brown satin bows.  I suppose it was time. xoxo By dixiedelights | Filed under Uncategorized | Tags: decor, front porch Share

A Patriotic Welcome

July 3, 2012July 28, 2015

Our front porch is decked out in red, white and blue for a very patriotic welcome!   Honey hung the bunting and I stuck a few flags in the pots.  And in about two minutes flat the front was ready for the fourth! Y’all, the back porch is just a smidge away from complete and I’ve… Read More

Once I decided to have a party, the vision came to Once I decided to have a party, the vision came together quickly. I fell in love with a bottle of Chloe wine with a black bow standing in the aisle at Publix in Savannah… and the rest was history.

While pink would have been the obvious choice for me, I loved the idea of something more classic. Black and white, bows and a few (okay, a lot) monograms woven in.

I wanted everything to feel pulled together but still warm. The kind of space where you walk in and immediately feel like you’re somewhere special.

Every ribbon, every layer, every little detail… it all added up to exactly the feeling I was hoping for 

Y’all come on in… 🖤🤍

I have so much to share from my 50th birthday part I have so much to share from my 50th birthday party. It was such a magical evening, and there are so many details to share and moments to convey that I’ve had to really think about where to even begin. So we’ll start here.

I went back and forth for a long time on whether or not to even have a party. Party planning is no small undertaking. But then again… I celebrate everything. And I knew I would be sad if this milestone year came and went without marking it in a meaningful way.

With a little encouragement from Honey, it was a go.

And once I decided, I knew exactly what I wanted. A celebration at our home, filled with the people who have shaped my life. I wanted the whole night to feel like me. And I wanted my guests to feel like they belong the moment they walk in. A night where conversations linger, and where you can look around and think… this is everything.

I’ll be sharing it all, but the beginning felt like the only place to start. 🖤🤍
Today I turn 50. I don’t know that I’ve done Today I turn 50.

I don’t know that I’ve done everything perfectly over the last five decades, but I do know this… I have no regrets. I raised the kids, loved the husband, got the dogs, took the trip, accepted the job, and showed up with my whole heart.

Friday night I celebrated with a house, yard and driveway full of friends and family at the party of my dreams. My parents helped pull it all together, and John rolled into town just in time to join the fun.

This morning started with coffee among the balloons and flowers, bagels from my favorite spot and some of  the people I love most.

Here’s to the years ahead. Good food, good wine, good friends, belly laughs, Taco Tuesdays and celebrations that don’t wait for an occasion.

Grateful for this life and everyone in it. Cheers to 50. 🥂
