Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

New Chair!

I am so excited! We have a new chair in our house.....

Welcome, chair. I have been waiting for you.

We had the perfect spot for you. I had been searching for a chair to fill that spot for a long time. Nothing I found seemed to be right.

Then, I saw you. And, you were made JUST for our living room. 
You belong with us.

Ok, enough of the weird 'talking to the chair' thing....


Isn't it a beaut? I love it.

I spotted it in Pier 1 Imports over a week ago. I snapped pictures on my phone. Fell in love. Yearned for it after I left the store.

Dramatic? Yes.

I would have purchased it on the spot that Saturday, but I knew that big of a purchase required some thinkin'-over and a chat with the hubs.

He didn't shoot it down immediately. I also made an excellent case for it.
I would list my outstanding rationale here, but then a law firm might want to hire me. Or a sales force.

Anyway....

Do you know what my sweet hubs did!?

He showed up on Friday after work and it was in the back of his truck.

I LOVE that man! I also LOVE surprises. I'm one lucky lady.


BEFORE:

{This chair really belongs in our guest bedroom, but I had been using it to fill the void}

AFTER:

{Much better! More of a presence.}

{I also think the chair coordinates with the rest of the room quite well}



So, I was delighted to return the smaller chair to it's rightful home:

The charming guest bedroom.

It's a colorful, happy place. 
Even though my picture turned out a little dark.

This chair is happy here. New chair is happy in living room. 

Keith and I are very happy with our new purchase. So exciting!


Yawn, I'm SUCH an adult. :)
