Best of 2016 and My Favorite Post

It's the last Friday of 2016. 

To say that this year has flown by is an understatement.

I feel like I've grown immensely in 2016.  I've learned to say no.  I've owned my time.  Do you know what I mean?

This blog for example...I haven't let it consume me.

As I've mentioned before, I love having this blog but it's just for fun.  :)

You know what else is fun?

Looking back at 2016.

Fireplace Makeover

Welcome back to my blog.  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you for all of your sweet comments regarding my Christmas Home Tour.

If you missed it, you can check it out here.

In the Home Tour I included photos of my newly renovated fireplace.

Today I'm sharing a little more about that transformation.

It was a labor of love but so worth it!

2016 Christmas Tour

Hello friends!!!

I've been a little MIA but all for good reasons!

I've been enjoying some much needed quality time with friends and family.

We've hosted a few parties over here at the Gillio pad and well, I just haven't been in the mood to blog.

This whole blog thing is a hobby for me and although I LOVE it, I don't ever want it to feel like a chore!

I had a few requests to share my home on the blog, so without further ado.....

here is our home all decked out for Christmas!!!
