Go big or go home. That's my motto when it comes to this fab light fixture in my ladies lounge.

It's quirky and a conversation piece when guests walk in the door. Life's to short to not make it meaningful. Decorate your home in ways that make you smile. Pile the books, add a splash of animal print and mix the vintage with the modern. ...

When you give a girl a cookie...You know you've made it to the top when someone makes you a cookie look-a-like.

My dear friend Benjie @georgiegirlbakeshop made these for my graduation from TCU. When her sweet husband dropped them off, I opened the box and saw myself! I haven't stopped smiling since! 👩‍🎓🎓💜

Good Saturday! It may be rainy here in Fort Worth but it is sunny inside Keeping Up with the Joneses. Nestled in the Village of 6333 on Camp Bowie is a jewel box of a boutique filled with spring dresses and accessories for graduation ceremonies and Mother's Day.

My favorites - this blue and white Chinoiserie day dress. Remember our Grandmother's housecoat? Well this is her modern twist. I'm living in this dress all summer - cool and comfy.

Refreshing my ladies lounge - a former dining room I reimagined as a fun space to see when you first walk in the front door.

My grandmother's sewing table. I used gold rub and buff to brighten the hardware.

Most everything but the lamps is vintage. A brass tray holds carafes and glassware ready for a casual cocktail. The mirror once hung in the entryway of my childhood home on 4617 Meadowbrook Drive.

The real star - the starburst German Rensie 8-day clock. I love the sound of her tick tick tick. Still keeps perfect time.

All brought together in a space that tells a unique story. ...

What is a Grand Millennial? It's a term technically reserved for 20-30 year olds who embrace their grandmother's home decor and entertaining style.

While I didn't coin the phrase, I've been sharing for years what my mother taught me but with my modern twist. So I guess that makes me a Great Grand Millennial!

This week I launched a fun series on how to use vintage finds from my party closet for today's use. Buzz to my blog on the history a salt cellar.

I mixed my patterns with melamine blue check plates and the sage and cream check linen napkins from @amymontgomeryhome. The napkin rings are faux rosemary.
