Hey there! I’m Cindy and I’m so glad you’ve decided to visit. I’ve been an Interior Decorator and Home Stager (Interior Motiv) for many years and because I love helping others and think everyone should love the home they have, blogging is my dearest avenue and adventure.
The Mister and I are empty nesters and are trying to decide whether we want to stay in the suburbs of Dallas/Fort Worth, move to the country, or maybe try the winters here and summers somewhere north. Until then, on the weekends, we travel down to the almost 100-year-old family farmhouse in Navasota, TX. I’m sure we’ll eventually move ourselves in and become hobby ranchers but for now, we make the trip about twice a month.
Besides our 3 kids, we have a dog and a BLM mustang and burro. If you had asked me a year ago if I could ever see myself living in a small town, the answer would be a resounding no. But now the thought of being a country girl is utterly exciting! Probably because we’ll eventually build our dream home on the property down south which will give me the excuse to shop or DIY my love of farmhouse/vintage/repurposed décor. But most likely it’s because the Lord has always guided our decisions and under His umbrella is the safest most comforting place to be.
All of us April 2023
A Few Random Facts
First and Foremost: I love Jesus. I am His and He is mine. It can’t get any better than that.
Fave Color: Pink! From pale blush to bubble gum to fuchsia, it’s all beautiful.
Fave Holiday: My birthday (yep, mhmm, that’s right). I celebrate the entire month of September!
Fave Movies: Pride and Prejudice and Australia but I’ll watch a good ol’ super hero movie any day of the week.
Fave Pastime: Playing games. Pictionary, Catch Phrase, cards, Skip-Bo, almost anything. Not Monopoly or Life – they take way to long.
Fave Food: I could eat Tex-Mex or steak everyday. I’m a carnivore for sure but somedays mac-n-cheese and almond flavored wedding cake would make my day.
Fave Drink: Sweet tea (no lemon) or Big Red. Yum!
Fave Design Style: I am drawn to a country living/cottage style with a bit of vintage, antique and good junk thrown in. With some Farmhouse, Modern Farmhouse, French Farmhouse, Classic Traditional, and all things chippy and white thrown in. I honestly like all styles. Rustic, Contemporary, French Country, Cottage, Traditional, Transitional… You name it, I can find something about it I like.
I laugh at just about anything – okay everything; even things I shouldn’t. That sounds terrible but I’m just keeping it real. I’m direct (some say blunt) but I never intentionally try to hurt someone’s feelings. I have been known to put my foot in my mouth and have been called ditsy. Not sure why, I think I’m smart and have more common sense than most.
I believe that in serving others, you are also served. I believe in chivalry and good manners. I want to live a life glorifying the Lord and be a good example to my friends, family and strangers even though some days are a complete fail.
I’m still crazy about my high school sweetheart/hubby (a.k.a. the Mister, Mr. Wonderful, and IT Genius)
I love our 4 adulting kids (3 of my own and 1 SIL) more than I ever thought possible. They keep life interesting for sure.
And I like old people. They are so cute – even the grouchy ones. I suspect I’ll be the one rolling around in a wheelchair, biting everyone or whacking them with a cane but hopefully loved. 😉
Thanks for reading this far and I hope you enjoy the blog and find lots of inspiration. Big hugs!
