Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] grandma’s house

It’s that time again!  Spruce Up Your Space is upon us for November, and this month’s “Flackback” theme was really fun for me!  I wanted to build something reminiscent of a quaint cottage with an old-fashioned feel to it, and the [SPRY] grandma’s house developed sort of naturally.  The [SPRY] grandma’s house is a small, cozy home with warm tones and vintage comfortability.  I hope you like it!  Full details, lots of pictures, and appropriate SLurls are after the cut…

Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] tea party pavilion

I’m always excited to take part in the monthly Spruce Up Your Space event, and this month’s “Tea Time” theme is absolutely fantastic!  I wanted to build a fun, outdoor space fit for the perfect tea party, and this pavilion seemed the perfect choice.  The [SPRY] tea party pavilion is a sweet outdoor structure with soft floral interior, open airy appeal, and rustic botanical charm.  I decided to include all the little details that I would want for myself in a tea party pavilion, but I have included two versions for the price of one: one version with all the details and a second version that suits the more prim-conscious.  I hope you like it!

Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] the sweetness coastal home

It has been several months since I participated in the Spruce Up Your Space event, so I decided to stop being so lazy and get involved again.  This month’s theme for SUYS is “Coastal Cozy,” and I wanted to build something a bit less conventional than your typical beachhouse.  Some of my favorite childhood memories revolve around our summer vacations to Tybee Island, where we took refuge from the heat in our cozy family beachhouse.  I always spent a lot of time swimming in the ocean or playing on the beach with my sister, but my favorite way to pass the time was lounging on the gorgeous wrap-around porch sketching birds and beach scenes with my cousin.  I wanted to recreate that sort of comfort and familiarity by building something rustic and weathered, yet open, airy, and cozy, and I think the [SPRY] the sweetness coastal home accomplishes exactly that.

You Know Where You Are

Yet again, it has been a while since I posted a regular LOTD, but inspiration hit, so I went with it.  I found a few pieces that I couldn’t live without, and luckily they worked well together.  I’ve found that I gravitate toward rich browns, which isn’t necessarily bad news for a redhead.  Anyway, here’s the look… hope you enjoy!

52 Weeks of Color: #10 Sienna

So, basically, this pic is me in RL today.  I’m home sick from work feeling like crap, and I have pretty much been useless all day just lounging around in my warm pajamas.  Being sick totally sucks, especially when there is so much to be done at work.  Oh well.  The work will still be there waiting for me when I’m better.  Anyway, I figured I might as well knock out the color challenge for this week since I had not gotten to it yet.  Please pardon my appearance… I’m sickly.

52 Weeks of Color: #8 Green


I’ve had this green outfit more or less done since before Christmas, but I’ve been so busy with the holidays and traveling and work craziness that I haven’t had a chance to take any pictures until today.  Anyway, I wanted to use a good mix of greens since “green” is pretty vague and all encompassing, so here you go.  I’m a little apprehensive about silver, but I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.  First things first… here’s green…

Cold Winter Air

It has been a loooooong while since I posted a regular LOTD here outside of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, but I couldn’t sleep last night, so I played around with clothes instead.  I have been wanting to put together a winter weather look with this adorable sweater (because hunter green is a redhead’s best friend), but I didn’t want it to end up looking like a Christmas outfit.  However, I think this look worked out just fine for a late night/early morning clothing binge.

52 Weeks of Color: #4 Plum

We’re four weeks into the color challenge, and I’m having more and more fun each week.  I thought plum might be a bit difficult, mainly because there are so many different shades of purple to sift through in my inventory, but I really don’t think it was that bad.  I decided to delve into my inventory rather than searching the grid like crazy this week, so I stuck to my platform and searched my clothing folders for hours.  Since I like to mix and match, my plum outfit isn’t really plum through and through, but it does give an overall plum effect.  And I kinda like it that way.

52 Weeks of Color: #3 Goldenrod

I’ll be honest… I struggled with this week’s color challenge a bit.  I started off with another outfit that ended up looking too much like mustard, so I scrapped it.  I was trying to stay away from lemon yellows and mustard yellows, so I experimented a bit and ended up with something a little gold-ish.  So yeah, I failed.  Big time.  Oh well.  I’m still determined to keep up with this weekly challenge, whether I fail or not.
