Happy Monday Lovecats! With the tragic event that took place on January 6th, it’s been a challenge to focus on anything other than the anxiety and fear that comes with the uncertainty about the world we are living in. Among all the other chaos we were hoping to leave behind in 2020 once we rang …
Our new master bedroom, like most of the rooms in our new home by the lake, is only partially complete… eight months after moving in, we are still only partially done with everything. I guess that’s normal, but it’s constantly nagging at me to finish! Since the master gets the least amount of traffic on …
I have found a few really amazing home decor/design boutiques up here and while they all lean a little on the woodsy side, each has its own distinctive style and this is one of my favorites. Many offer interior design services as well. Just as you enter the Lake Arrowhead Village, there’s a gorgeous little …
LeRoy: Bellboy, Welcoming Committee, Breaker of Wind, Conversation StarterI was so excited to get to participate in this Sherwin-Williams makeover project because I really hadn’t planned on spending too much more time {or money} on this particular room. As far as I was concerned, it was done enough for a guest room {see the before …
on the edge of my desk in my office in a vintage decanterFreshly cut Lilacs are sprouting up all over the house… I just can’t seem to get enough! They’re gorgeous and they smell delicious and they brighten up every room. In My Office… on the little coffee table vintage brass elephant, Bazaar Fashion Book, …
Let me first begin by saying that if you take a look at my Office, Closet, Dressing Room Pinterest Board, you can get a feel for my overall inspiration on this room, which is the most feminine room in the entire house. Please note that this is the only room that looks like this and …
A month or so ago I asked you guys to help me choose a mirror for my vanity area in my new office/workspace. While I really loved all of the mirrors, I went with the Ablenay Mirror from Lamps Plus because I thought it would really work well with my Italian lamps, as well as …
Lake House Pinterest Board via French GreyI have been known to, on more than one occasion, spy an amazingly large fallen tree branch while outside, decide it’s perfection, drag it home, wash it, and use it as decor in my own house. Note the word “fallen”, as I would never cut a tree and steal …
Our new sectional sofa finally arrived over the weekend {YAY!} and we are so excited to finally have a new and comfortable couch after living with one lacking that most important element, for the last 8 years. However, the squared angle of it has given me new challenges to work with in this very long …
I have a love affair with ceiling beams, I really do, so I’m super excited that our main room, my new studio and office space, as well as our master bedroom, are lined with ceiling beams. It’s unfortunate though, that downstairs, they’ve all been painted from their original dark stain to a taupe color, which …
It occurred to me that I never posted photos of our complete living room in our last house… mostly because I felt like it was never complete. But since I’ll be referencing some of the furniture in upcoming posts and using it in our new house in Lake Arrowhead, I thought I’d finally gather up …
I wasn’t quite ready to box up all my pretty floral Christmas tree ornaments just yet, so I found a new home for them on the cow skull above the fireplace… the horns to be exact. The purple and blues actually work really well against the facing dark gray walls of my living room and …
I kind of love our tiny fern-wallpapered 1/2 bathroom off the Laundry Room. It’s kind of creepy in a silly way and it makes me laugh. I like things that make me laugh. The boys who come over seem to prefer this bathroom; they always choose it over the beachy brick one. I think they …
I can feel it in the air… the holidays are coming. I know it’s early and I’m not going crazy or anything but a few semi-spooky items have landed in various areas of our house and I love it. Though, I kind of lean toward that kind of kookiness in general and may just keep …
I Stumbled upon this amazing architecture/decor & home site 1 Kind Design about 20 minutes ago via dwellinggawker and began Pinning like a wild woman. I loved everything I laid my eyes on. I actually scrapped my original post idea when I clicked on Scandinavian Home Gets a Shabby Chic Makeover because I fell so …
