Happy Halloween

This is me and 4 of my 6 children.  I wish you all a Happy and Safe Halloween!

In My Dream Home...

I have these stairs.  And if I ever move into a home that has more than 4 steps (like I do now)  these stairs WILL be mine!

*I pinned this on Pinterest.  I have no idea where this picture comes from, but if anyone out there knows, I would LOVE to give credit to that person/blog.*

Gloss Over Matte

This idea and picture comes from Sawdust and Embryos.  It is such a cool idea and a cheaper way to make a neat wall. They even give you the details on how to do it, and give a template to copy!  AWESOME!!!

Tuesday's Bathroom

I think I will take this shower!

I found this pic on Pinterest, but  you can find all kinds of bathroom ideas on HOUZZ. 

Daydreaming my Monday Away

I love this pantry.  And as soon as I can find the time to redesign my kitchen, it is going in it!  BUT, unfortunately for me, today is not that day.  (BOO for me!)





Pantry found here.

Blogs I Love to Read

There are a few blogs that I like to read while drinking my morning tea.  I don't get a lot of time to read them, but I do get a few minutes in the early morning hours.

There are 2 design blogs that I love to read:
1) Marianne Strong's Haven and Home
2) a life's design 

Both are very cool blogs that give you lots of ideas! 

There are some fitness blogs I read more than anything:
Body Rock  and He and She Eat Clean

And then there is adelynSTONE...This one I read just for the fun of it.  

I hope you all read some of them!

Happy Hump Day

I,SOOOOO, want this for my house.  Unfortunately, I found it on Pinterest, but there is nothing else about it.  I guess I am going to have to make one.  I think it sums up my home perfectly!

Kitchen Organization

Tidy Mom has 8 ways to keep your kitchen organized.  I am going to have to try them!  My kitchen is so UNorganized it is not even funny!

Tin Ceiling???

Why Not???  This website has some interesting ways to cover your ceiling and walls. 

I am thinking of doing my dining room like this.

It would be a conversation starter for sure!

What's Cooking Friday

What is cooking in my kitchen this friday is PUMPKIN SCONES. 

I got the recipe from Sweet Pea's Kitchen. 

My Olympic Sport

Yes, I think it should.  I don't know about anyone else, but no matter how prepared I am, I will have to search the house for something.  For me, it is usually KEYS. 

Tuesday's Bathroom

What is not to LOVE about this bathroom?  I love the gray tile.  I love the yellow walls.  I love the rug.  I love the starburst mirror thingy.  But that I love the most...2 shower curtains.  What a wonderful idea! 

Vintage Finds

I love vintage finds for my house.  Foxy Roxy's Attic has some cool stuff like these glasses!

Check out her etsy shop.   She has lots of really neat, vintage items. 

Get to Know Me

Hello Hello Everyone!  My name is Meliah (Mel) Miranda.  I recently became a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Keller Williams-Franklin.  That is in Franklin, TN for those not in/around the area. 

I have 6 children-4 boys-2 girls.  I have started this blog for ideas on organizing, decorating, reinventing your home, as well as my own.  My Sister in Law is an Interior Decorator in Birmingham, so a lot of stuff will come from her. 

I, also, have a child with Autism, so there will be things about that.
