Oh Happy Day!

Well, it must be a happy day for a Saturday post, huh?  I am not a ceiling fan loving kind of girl.  No way.  No how.  Yes, we do live in the South but I can do without a ceiling fan in every room except our bedroom.  So, a fan in one of the prettiest and largest rooms in our house was a big no thank you!  When we first moved in, I had ever so slightly maxed out our lighting budget so we put a ceiling fan in the living room for the short term.  Maybe it was the short term to me and the long term for my hubby but the lighting fairies came to my rescue.  You see, for some unknown and ever so wonderful reason, our less than a year old ceiling fan quit working.  Maybe the elf on the shelf really is real?!?  Because that is most definitely what this momma wanted for Christmas!  So, one day my hubby said “fine, buy you a chandelier.”  LOL.  I had my eye on this beaded beauty for quite some time so it was a quick click and purchase!  Here is what I chose…

Here’s the true before of our living room before we moved in.  I PROMISE to blog a full detail on our living room transformation once our Holiday decor comes down.  Until then, there’s a quick shopping and paint color reference if you scroll way on down.

And now here’s the after but really the before now.  Make sense?

    It’s beautiful!!! Love all your light fixtures!
    Too funny, when I started watching the transformation through your blog posts, my first thought was: how does she live in the south without a ceiling fan?? Haha! So what ceiling fan did you put in your bedroom?

      Thank you Haley! Haha it’s not bad in our living room but it’s a must in our bedroom! It’s a somewhat simple ceiling fan. I will be doing a master bedroom post soon and I will show it :-). Thanks for reading!

As I always say, the only journeys and experiences As I always say, the only journeys and experiences I can… and do… share are that of my own. And today it’s last week’s journey of my explant, lift and recovery. As someone who was “born” with big boobs, had implants to fill what I’d lost to weight loss and nursing to now having explanted to a much smaller size, I’ve been happy with every step along the way. It’s all been what I had or felt I needed or wanted at each stage of life and I’m not one to ever look back and have regrets. It’s just that at this stage of life, I decided the next step for me was to shed some chest. And kind of a lot of it. From a size 32G to a yet to be fully determined 32B-C! To be super honest, the pondering and deciding was by the far the longest and hardest part. With no direct reason for doing so (thankfully)… rather a combination of them from possible health issues 🤞🏻 associated with my implants to the usual back/shoulder pain to just a growing desire to get them out, I’ve felt a bit indecisive and very nervous. But last week I finally did it and I’m so happy I did! Women have so many worries and pressures and insecurities so if this has been on your pondering list as well, I’m just here to tell you that it wasn’t that bad. Any body change takes some getting used to but not gonna lie, shedding that top heavy feeling has been rather fabulous. And the cute little tops and bras I can now wear feel like icing on the cake! So from your always raw and honest IG bestie, thank y’all so much for following along and for all of the love and well wishes on stories. Means the WORLD 🫶🏻
Forget drenching your hands with straight acetone… and the hour and a half SNS process… try this and you’ll never go back! Yep, it’s the “old school” tips method but with your own nails. Takes so much less time and although still not exactly CLEAN, it’s way better than an acetone hand bath every two weeks. Plus, they’re actually much smoother too!

Where did you find the drapery hardware in your ba Where did you find the drapery hardware in your bathroom?... what about your bedroom?... living room? It’s all @kirsch and it’s all STUNNING! Scale is everything in design and sometimes the biggest “misses” are in the details. With a huge assortment of difficult to find, thick rods, substantial finials and beautiful rings, as you can see something as “simple” as drapery hardware can absolutely MAKE a space.
