reDECOR

Maximizing Your Home's Potential!

It's a new adventure awaiting me and I am beaming with excitement! I was approached by my dear friend, Jennifer about starting a new Redesign and Home-Staging business. It didn't take much convincing that we could do it. She had recently placed her own home on the market and had several comments about who her designer was. Well, she was delighted to hear such wonderful comment and little did they know that she was the designer. She has always had an eye for design and enjoyed keeping up with design trends.

So here we go taking a leap of faith and combining our experience and talents to offer a service that is greatly needed in North Alabama. So come along with us as we embark on a road less traveled and reDECOR homes to maximize their potential!!

What?? Pottery Barn, Are You a Copy Cat?

Not too long ago I walked into our local Pottery Barn just browsing around wishing I could purchase some of their things. I go over to the window treatment panels hanging in the corner, (you know just to see what's new.) I'm flipping through the long panels looking at the patterns and I do a double take.

What? Do my eyes deceive me? Wait a minute these are my panels. Wait, how did they??

I couldn't believe that they now have panels that are the same fabric as my Dining Area panels. Although mine are long non-functioning panels with tabs around the finials at the tops, but non-the-less, these are my panels!!!


So long story short, I wasn't sure if I was upset that someone may now think my panels came from Pottery barn, or that they would think that I got the idea from Pottery Barn. But you see my panels have been hanging in my home for 2 years now. So after I realized that I was ahead of their little design trend, I thought...
hmmm...maybe I'm up on this design stuff after all.

So moral to the story. If you're ever in my home and you glance at the Dining Area window panels:
* No they didn't come from Pottery Barn
* And Yes, my dear friend, Tonya from Keeping Up With The Jones
worked very hard making them.
* So all those trips to Forsyth Fabrics and Lewis & Sherron in
Atlanta were totally worth it.

Bearcats...With a Few Sparkles!

So tonight's the kickoff to high school football. So a craft bug bit me the other day. I was browsing the craft stores, you know just to see what's new, and ran across the paw print rhinestones. So then I started searching for something to go with it and this it what I came up with.
Campbell wore it to school today to support her new school. Since then, I've had several friends ask if I could make one for their school. Hmmm...didn't think about that one. So if your school mascot is anything that has a paw print such as a tiger, wildcat, bulldog, cheetah, etc. hop on over to my CdesignS Facebook page and get your own sparkly shirt to wear to the games. Just imagine how shiny they'll be under the stadium lights. And you'd definately be sporting a unique tee.

Happy "15th" Anniversary Keith!!

On August 13th 1994 at 6:00 P.M. I married my high school crush, Keith Sandlin. We had just bought our first home, paid for our own wedding and honeymoon trip to Jamaica. It was our first time on an airplane. First time to get to decorate my own home. And first time to buy a brand new car. Looking back I can't believe we could do one of those things much less all of it.

Since then we have built 2 more homes from the ground up and flown halfway around the world to Thailand and Malaysia. We've been blessed with two wonderful daughters who have made our life complete. I can't imagine my life with anyone else. Thank you Keith for all you do for the girls and myself. You are the best husband I could have ever asked for. My life is so blessed because of you.
I LOVE YOU!!

Dismals Canyon...Absolutely Breathtaking!!

We recently visited a National Natural Landmark right here in Alabama. It is Dismals Canyon. It is a gorge and wilderness that was created by ancient earthquakes. There are hemlock trees down in the gorge that have never been axed or harvested. Dismal Creek flows through the whole canyon and creates a very humid environment, therefore moss is on every space available. I can't even describe the natural beauty that is around every corner in this gorge. It took my breath away...literally. If you are ever in the northwestern part of Alabama, be sure to set aside the time to visit Dismals Canyon. There's probably not many places such as this in the world.

4th of July Festivities!!

We have been on the water for the last three days with family and friends. We have been on the water so much I still feel like I'm rocking. Caroline and Campbell did another round of skiing and Caroline actually went a very long way. The wind picked up when Campbell tried and the water got choppy so we decided to try again another day. I can't imagine not being on the water. It has become so much of our life now and we are enjoying every single second of it. We are collecting memories every day and I'll treasure them forever. Hope everyone had a tremendous 4th!!

Schlitterbahn in the HOT Summer!!

While out in Texas, we scooted on down to New Braunfels and went to Schlitterbahn. It was a hot one!! When we left the thermometer said 107. We all had a blast! Every one's favorite ride was the "Master Blaster." We waited for about 45 minutes at the top of the sweltering tower to ride it. But hey, we couldn't go to Schlitterbahn and not ride the #1 water park attraction in America.
Hopefully, the girls will remember it forever. Oh the memories. Gotta love the memories.

To Austin, Texas and Back!!

Hello All!!!

We just got back from vacation to see family in Austin, Texas. Keith's cousin, Les and wife Jane just had their son, Hutch and we went to visit with the family. We've not seen them since last August and haven't realized how much we've missed in a year. They have such a beautiful, sweet family and we have a tremendous time. We got to go to the pool, ride the golf course, take a nature walk along their creek and visit the Oasis on Lake Travis. But most importantly we got to spend precious time with a remarkable family. We are blessed to call them family and can't wait to see them again. Thanks Les, Jane, Cannon, Neely and Hutch for such a memorable vacation.

Summertime Rocks!!!

As most of you know my very favorite season is Summertime. No rules, no tests to take, no certain time to have supper cooked...well you get the jest. Needless to say we've enjoyed every minute of our summer so far. We've had friends and family come and play with us at the lake. By the end of the days we are all worn out, but it is such a great feeling. I absolutely love sharing our home with our friends and family. I hope you all are enjoying yours and hopefully it won't be too long before I do another post.
