I love that our living room, kitchen, and dining room are all in one open great room {you can check out our open space before we moved in here if you like}. This is the room we spend most of our time in, when we’re not working that is -and sometimes when we are, and …
I still haven’t decided how to decorate my table for Thanksgiving this year. Actually, that’s not completely true, I recently bought a short money tree that I am in love with and was hoping to find a second one at the local nursery to pair together as part of a centerpiece design… but alas, they …
I have to admit that I’m not having the easiest time getting back to work after the holidays. And being that we just moved, I wish I could just take a few weeks off and say See ya after the new year! But I feel the pressure mounting. It’s lame really. I’m lucky that I …
I’ve been dying to share photos of our new house with you but as you can imagine, we’re still unpacking and not even close to finished decorating. However, the living room is the closest space to looking livable at the moment, so I thought I’d start there. It’s a sort-of great room actually, where the …
* I might change the knobs to give it a little more character * Apologies if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram as you may have seen this directly after we purchased it yesterday afternoon at ZGallerie but for everyone else, this Salvatore Antiqued Mirrored Bar Cabinet is what we decided on for our …
Our Thanksgiving table, 2010 & DIY pop art canvases It has come to my attention that we are in dire need of more kitchen and dining room storage and a proper bar. Yes, maybe it’s because I keep buying dishes and glassware and decanters that I don’t necessarily need but when I find a gem …
Just a few new things around the house that I’m loving. My Suck UK 1 Gun Ceramic Wall Vase has become a current obsession …mainly trying to keep a fresh flower in. Though I don’t really mind the wilted garden rose that you see in it now. It’s almost like the gun killed it, lol, …
The husband prefers to work at the dining room table in the middle of all the “action”, as I like to call it. And even though I love to see our beautiful table free of clutter, I try to look past his piles of notebooks and scripts because I know that’s where he gets his …
I gave you sneak peek at the elements here and including my Easy DIY Tablecloth …and even then I had no idea how they’d all come together {though I did know I wanted to cover the skull that belongs to the antler}. That’s much how I work. I have ideas …I grab handfuls of items …
See the finished look: MY THANKSGIVING TABLETOP DECOR ~ IKAT & ANTLERS While at the bargain yardage shop before Halloween, looking for the perfectly creepy grandma lace for my ghostly haunted mansion tabletop, I found this ultra fall-looking creamy off-white jacquard fabric I thought would make a great Thanksgiving tablecloth. Though the edges are unfinished, …
Hanging in our old dining room, on either side of the window. What You’ll Need… * Two pre-stretched and pre-treated canvases{I used 20″ x 16″}* Words via computer/printer {you can use my templates here}* Scissors & Double Sided Tape{I found the dispenser double stick was better}* Spray paint color of your choice {I used black}. …
I’ve been pondering the idea of double benches in our dining room but fear it will have too much of a picnic table feel. Though when I look at these gorgeous dining rooms, they say anything but “it’s picnic time”. * * * * * * * My eye is used to seeing a dining …
Do you remember the black feather wreath I hung on the front door as part of our Halloween decor? {click here for a refresher} …well the other day as I was pondering light fixtures for our dining room {we have a boring, boob-like, ceiling fixture} I randomly held the feather wreath around the base of …
While we’re not big drinkers, we do happen to have quite a large collection of barware & drink paraphernalia. With no extra storage space in the kitchen, I used these shelves I was going to give to Goodwill to create a mini side bar in our dining room & display all our booze. Here’s how …
