Do It Yourself - Pin Cushion

It is getting to be that time of year when it is starts to get colder and darker and suddenly indoor projects seem to be that much more appealing. When I saw this cute little project a few weeks ago, I knew that it would be a perfect winter project not only because it its relatively easy but it is super functional and I think it would instantly add to the decor of any sewing room. Plus, you can replace the color of the fabric and spools inside to match the decor of your room.

Interior Inspiration - How to Style Your T.V!

Dominic and I have never had a T.V before. We always thought that we could be more productive without it because there are so many other things to do besides watching T.V. Nevertheless, we have always watched a lot of movies/t.v shows on our computers. So we finally broke down and bought a T.V so that we could watch movies on a bigger screen. It is not one of those crazy big T.V's but just big enough for us. Now, the only problem is that we need to find a space to put the new T.V. After seeing these homes, I think that I am more partial to hanging the T.V on the wall. How did you incorporate your T.V into your house????

Its Time to Decorate Give-away!!

It's time for another give-away and I am so so happy to announce that Eeebee and Jack has generously offered to give away two of their amazing inspirational photographic prints. And since I am currently renovating/decorating my house, I thought this would be the perfect give-away to share with those of you that have been following Ruby Tuesday for a while and any new followers wanting to join in on the Ruby Tuesday escapades!


These vintage inspired inspirational quotes from Eeebee and Jack will not only add a touch of personality to your home but they will also make you feel fabulous every time you look at them. I am absolutely smitten with all of the prints but I think that, "this is our happily ever after" is by far my favorite (Brooke from Eebee and Jack has also generously given me this one so I will be sure to post pictures of how I frame it and where I hang it). Not only will the print add a stylish edge to my modern country style decor but it will be a constant reminder of all of the great things in my life!! And even though I may not have the fair tale castle, horse and chariot, which every little girl dreams of, I feel like I am living my own fairy tale. I love my home as much as I would a castle (well maybe not) and I feel like I did marry a prince (at least he is the man of my dreams). Are you living your happily ever after??


Eeebee and Jack are generously giving away two prints: one for my current followers and one for any new followers who enter the give-away, so that everybody will have a great chance of winning!!

There are also some other amazing prints to check out:

All you have to do to enter the contest is:


1. Check out Eeebee and Jack's etsy shop and let me know which print you like best and why it inspires   you!
2. Tell me if you are currently a follower or,
3. If you are not a follower ...start following and let me know you are a new follower
4. Finally, leave your email address so that I can contact you if you win!!


Good Luck!!

White Wash

Every summer Dominic and I go back to our little house on the prairie so that we can tend to our bees. Although it feels like we have only just arrived here on the East Coast, the time to depart is quickly  creeping up behind us. And while it will be bitter sweet, I am actually very excited to get back to our little house in which we are half way through renovating!! Inspired by a white on white look, my goal was to make the house look like a modern/vintage Swedish Cottage and I am super happy with the way it has turned out so far!! And since we will soon be going back, I am starting to look for some style inspiration. Even though our house already had new flooring when we moved in, I love the look the white wash floor boards!!! Maybe in our next house!!
